Jiangxi Zhongtebang Cable wishes you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
From the cosmic philosophy of "whoever sees the moon at the first sight by the river, the moon shines on people at the beginning of the river"; To the ancient and lingering moonlight beauty picture of "the moon is bright, the people are beautiful, the Shu Yao corrects it, and the heart is sad". The moon has entrusted people with ancient and long-lasting feelings.
Today, I want to briefly introduce the origin and customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the "autumnal equinox" season of the twenty-four solar terms, it is an ancient "Moon Festival", while the Mid-Autumn Festival comes from the traditional "Moon Festival".
In traditional culture, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration originated from the ancient people's sacrifice to the moon, which is the legacy and derivative of the Chinese custom of offering sacrifices to the moon. Mid-Autumn Festival is a synthesis of seasonal customs in autumn, and most of the festival customs contained in it have ancient origins.

Sacrificing the moon is a very old custom in our country, and it is actually a worship activity of the ancients to the "Moon God". Sacrificing the moon to admire it and remembering it expressed people's good wishes.
As one of the important ceremonies of Mid-Autumn Festival, offering sacrifices to the moon has continued from ancient times to the present, and gradually evolved into a folk activity of appreciating and praising the moon. At the same time, it has become the main form of modern people's longing for reunion and pinning their good wishes for life.

Osmanthus fragrans is a must-have presence in the Mid-Autumn Festival. People often eat moon cakes and enjoy osmanthus in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and eat all kinds of foods made of osmanthus, among which cakes and sweets are the most common.
On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, people look up at the osmanthus in the middle of the month, smell the fragrance of osmanthus, drink a cup of osmanthus honey wine, celebrate the sweetness of the family, get together, pay tribute to the beautiful life of the year, and pray for blessings for the future life.
