Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has had customs such as worshiping the moon, appreciating the moon, eating moon cakes, appreciating osmanthus flowers, and drinking osmanthus wine. These customs have been passed down to this day and have lasted for a long time. The Mid-Autumn Festival, with the roundness of the moon symbolizing family reunion, is a way to express longing for hometown and loved ones, and to pray for a good harvest and happiness. It has become a rich and precious cultural heritage. What’s in the lunar calendar for the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2018? How is today's time?

According to historical records, the word "Mid-Autumn" first appeared in the book "Zhou Li". During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was a record of "instructing the Shangshu to guard Niuxiao, and on the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he and his entourage went sailing on the river in disguise." It was not until the early Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. "The Book of Tang Dynasty: Records of Emperor Taizong" records the "Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th". The popularity of the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had become as famous as New Year's Day and became one of the major festivals in my country. This is also the second largest traditional festival in my country after the Spring Festival.According to the Chinese calendar, the eighth month of the lunar calendar is in the middle of autumn and is the second month of autumn, called "Mid-Autumn". The fifteenth day of the eighth month is in the middle of "Mid-Autumn", so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival". The Mid-Autumn Festival has many nicknames: because the festival falls on August 15, it is called the "August Festival" or "Mid-August"; because the main activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival are centered around the "moon", it is also commonly known as the "Moon Festival" or "Moon Eve"; the moon is full during the Mid-Autumn Festival, symbolizing reunion, so it is also called the "Reunion Festival." In the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival was also called "Duan Zheng Yue". The earliest record of the "Reunion Festival" can be found in the Ming Dynasty. "Xihu Youlan Zhiyu" said: "The 15th day of the eighth month is called Mid-Autumn Festival. People give each other mooncakes to symbolize reunion." The "A Brief Account of the Scenery of the Imperial Capital" also says: "On the 15th day of the eighth month, people worship the moon. The cakes they make must be round, the melons they cut must be tooth-shaped, and the petals must be carved like lotus flowers. ... If a wife has returned to her parents' home, she must return to her husband's house on this day. It is called the Reunion Festival." |
