Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on 2 1 this month. Don't forget to buy a box of moon cakes for the person you like. Be sure to tell him (her) that the moonlight is beautiful tonight at nine o'clock on this day, because its moral is: I love you like this moon, but it is dark and bright, and I am trying to get better. I hope you can always like me.

The full moon on the horizon is not as good as having you around. If you were there, the moon would be more round. Make a wish on the moon, and everything I like will not let me down.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is crowded with people, giving you a "full" truth.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight shines a hundred times, and the dew is drunk at Luofu's desk. At present, we are reunited on this festival. Did ancient people also celebrate, or did they sigh at the full moon?

In ancient times, people had a high respect for nature and worshipped the celestial phenomena. People gradually held grand ceremonies to worship the sun and the moon on two special days, the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox. "The sun rises at the vernal equinox and the moon sets at the autumnal equinox". As a bright messenger in the darkness, the moon is believed as a god. Therefore, the ceremony of offering the moon symbolizes the patent of centralized rulers and shows the dignity and royal demeanor of the emperor. Since the Qin Dynasty, all previous dynasties have followed the system of "offering sacrifices to the moon".

Although people can't Yue Bai, but imitation of the moon so far. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, nobles, literati and literati took the lead in following suit. The customs of enjoying the moon in Yue Bai, drinking, writing poems and expressing feelings, and enjoying the moon in Mid-Autumn Festival were very popular in Chang 'an generation in Tang Dynasty, and many romantic fairy tales such as the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon and Jade Rabbit were also woven by literati. The wind of enjoying the moon gradually spread among the people, and the wind of playing with the moon prevailed until the Northern Song Dynasty. The court officially stipulated August 15th as the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Millennium traditional festivals have been handed down from generation to generation. In the Ming Dynasty, Yue Bai also celebrated the moon. Every household had to set up a "Moonlight Position" and put up a "Moonlight Paper" to "Yue Bai" in the direction of the moon coming out. In the Qing Dynasty, some local officials held ceremonies to worship the "Moon Palace God", provided moon cakes and nine lotus roots, and prayed for good weather and peaceful reunion. Ordinary people also put many seasonal fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon symbolizing reunion and pomegranate with many children and grandchildren. I pray for a complete family and a rich life. For men, I hope the moon can win the laurel, while for women, I hope I look like Chang 'e.

In the traditional culture of China, the circle not only symbolizes perfection and beauty. Therefore, the full moon is also endowed with the emotional meaning of "reunion". On this day, for vagrants, business officials have to go all the way home to reunite with their relatives, eat moon cakes, enjoy osmanthus, drink osmanthus wine, enjoy the moon and celebrate the festival.

The moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival has become synonymous with reunion, so that those who are far away from home will inevitably look at the moon every Mid-Autumn Festival night. I miss my hometown deeply.

Whether it's offering sacrifices to the moon in ancient times or enjoying the moon in Yue Bai. The change from celestial worship to secular desire is people's desire and expectation for a better life and inherits the most sincere belief culture.

Until, holding up my cup, I asked the moon; The stars shine.

Xiangyun drives Fu Rui; Longteng Shi Sheng is here.

As far as moonlight is concerned, it is the homeland. The moon has existed for trillions of years. It has moved from the reclamation of the universe to an era of peace and prosperity, bearing the great wishes and hopes of countless generations. People put their thoughts and blessings, believe and follow.

Take a "moon" head, always with you, always blessed, boundless and auspicious, full of happiness, peace and joy.

Jade star was under the moon and picked it up in front of the temple.

So far, there is nothing in the sky, but Chang 'e should be thrown to people.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is not only about enjoying the moon, but also an important link, that is, putting on the "Kongming Lantern", which is also commonly known as the sky lantern. According to legend, it was invented by Zhu Gekongming (Zhuge Liang) during the Three Kingdoms period. That year, Zhu Gekongming was besieged by Sima Yi and Pingyang, unable to send troops out of the city for help. Kong Ming calculated the wind direction, made a floating paper lantern, and tied a message for help on it. Later generations called this lamp Kongming Lantern after it escaped from danger.

Modern people put lanterns on Kongming lanterns as a blessing. The wishes of men, women and children to write blessings by hand symbolize the bumper harvest and happiness every year.

Kongming lanterns are also called "safety lanterns" and "blessing lanterns".

May all those who work hard have a round moon and a round dream in their hearts, and live better every year.
