The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese folk festival. It originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the autumn eve of the ancient times.
Originally, the festival of “Jiyue Festival” was on the 24th solar term “autumn equinox” in the Ganzhi calendar. Later, it was adjusted to the 15th of the Xia calendar (lunar calendar).
Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has had folk customs such as worshipping the moon, admiring the moon, eating moon cakes, playing with lanterns, admiring osmanthus, and drinking osmanthus wine, which have been passed down for a long time.
