What are the taboos during the Mid-Autumn Festival?

1: Men do not worship the moon <br /> In the old days, the custom of worshipping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival was popular throughout the country. Fu Cha Dunchong of the Qing Dynasty wrote in "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji": During the Mid-Autumn Festival, "most men do not bow down to worship the moon. Therefore, a proverb in the capital says: 'Men do not worship the moon, and women do not worship the kitchen god.'" It is said that the moon belongs to the sun, and the moon goddess Chang'e is a female, so the moon worship activity can only be participated by women.
2. Avoid people with weak health or poor physical fitness from appreciating the moon <br /> During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people with weak health are not recommended to go outdoors to appreciate the moon or worship the moon. Especially for women who have recently had a miscarriage or have just given birth, it is not advisable to watch the moon. Even if you are on your own balcony, it is best not to watch the moon.
3. Avoid moon watching for those who are frustrated or have bad luck <br /> If you have a bad luck recently, are in a bad mood, or are frustrated, such as failure in officialdom, bad love, unhappy work, unhappy family, failed exams, or lost money in business, it is best not to watch the moon.
Four: People who have just moved and have not had any "housewarming" should not watch the moon .<br /> People who have just moved and have not had any "housewarming" should not watch the moon, or those who feel that their health and fortune have not been good after moving should be cautious in watching the moon.
Five: Avoid letting your hair cover your forehead <br /> Girls with bangs should brush their hair back or to the sides. Never let your forehead be covered by your hair, because this is where your magic lamp is.
Six: Avoid not burning incense before going out or after returning home <br /> Burning incense before going out on Mid-Autumn Festival can bless a safe journey, while burning incense after returning home is a way to express gratitude and pray for safe travel in the coming year.
Seven: Avoid fruit cakes that are not round <br /> When the moon is high in the sky during the Mid-Autumn Festival, people set up altars, burn incense, and display moon cakes, fruits, etc. to worship the moon. Many families will worship the moon on the full moon night, burn moon paper, place offerings to the moon, and then distribute them to their family members. The whole family gathered together to eat mooncakes. Mooncakes are also called reunion cakes. Eating them can help the whole family work together and stay united. Therefore, fruit cakes must be round, and even if you cut fruit mooncakes, they must be in the shape of a lotus with crescent petals.
8. Avoid eating the wrong mooncakes <br /> As the saying goes, "If you eat the wrong mooncakes, your father-in-law will die." If a new daughter-in-law spends the Mid-Autumn Festival at her husband's house in the first year after marriage, she will have to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at her husband's house for several years in a row. If you celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival at your parents’ home in the first year after marriage, then you will have to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival at your parents’ home for several consecutive years. This can avoid eating the mooncakes in disorder and prevent accidents to your father-in-law.
