In China, the 15th lunar month of the lunar calendar is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mid-Autumn Festival is the second largest traditional festival after the Spring Festival. The evening of August 15 is just close to the full moon, and the moonlight is clean and tidy. Therefore, the ancients regarded the moon as a symbol of reunion. Therefore, it is also called “Reunion Festival” on August 15th.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are also two traditional customs.

First, it is to worship the moon.

In ancient China, there were spring festivals, rituals in the autumn festivals, folks also had the Mid-Autumn Festival, and later the moon was over the moon, so the Mid-Autumn Festival gradually became a day of watching the full moon. The custom of enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival is extremely prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. Many poets have the poems of the moon in the famous articles. The Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty courts and the folks worship the moon and the moon activities are more scale.

Second, eat moon cakes. Moon cakes symbolize reunion. It is said that the custom of eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Tang Dynasty.
