The origin or brief introduction of the Mid Autumn Festival and the National Day

The word "National Day", which originally referred to the celebration of the country, was first seen in the Western Jin Dynasty. Lu Ji, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, once recorded in the article "On the Fifth Class Princes" that "the National Day is a unique benefit, and the main worry is not harmful". In the feudal era of our country, the major events of the country's celebration were the emperor's enthronement and birthday (the Qing Dynasty called the emperor's birthday the Long Live Festival) and so on.

Therefore, in ancient China, the emperor's enthronement and birth were called "National Day". Today, the anniversary of the founding of the country is a national holiday.

October 1, 1949 is the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It should be noted here that many people have the impression that on October 1, 1949, the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China was held in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, which was attended by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Actually, this impression in people's minds is not accurate.

Because, the ceremony held in Tiananmen Square on October 1, 1949 was the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, not the founding ceremony. In fact, the "founding" of the People's Republic of China, that is, the founding of the People's Republic of China, had already been announced a week before October 1 of that year. At that time, it was not called the "Founding Ceremony", but the "Founding Ceremony".

The date was September 21, 1949. On this day, the director of the preparatory committee for the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference*** announced the birth of new China in his opening speech at the first session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

So, what about the National Day on October 1st? At the first meeting of the First National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Xu Guangping said: "Member Ma Xulun asked me to come on leave, and he asked me to say that the founding of the People's Republic of China should have a national day, so I hope that this committee will decide to designate 1 October as a national day."

"We should make a proposal, make a proposal to **, and let ** decide." "On October 2, 1949, **People** passed the "Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China", stipulating that October 1 of each year is the National Day, and this day is used as the day to proclaim the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Since then, October 1 every year has become a festival for the people of all ethnic groups across the country to celebrate.

The term "Mid-Autumn Festival" was first seen in "Zhou Li". According to the ancient calendar of our country, the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is in the middle of August in the autumn of a year, so it is called the "Mid-Autumn Festival". There are four seasons in a year, each quarter is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji, the second month in the three autumns is called Mid-autumn, so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Mid-autumn".

By the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was a record of "Yu Shangshu Town Cattle Confusion, Mid-Autumn Festival Eve and Left and Right Micro Service Panjiang". It was not until the early years of the Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. "Tang Shu Taizong Ji" records that "August 15th Mid-Autumn Festival".

The popularity of the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty, and by the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has become one of the main festivals in China as well as New Year's Day. This is also the second largest traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the traditional Chinese festivals, is held on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar every year. August is the second month of autumn, called mid-autumn in ancient times, because it is in the middle of autumn and August, so the folk call it Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as autumn evening, August Festival, August half, moon night, moon festival, and because the moon is full on this day, symbolizing reunion, also known as the reunion festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a remnant of the ancient celestial worship - the custom of respecting the moon. In the "autumn equinox" of the 24 solar terms, it is the ancient "moon festival", and the Mid-Autumn Festival is derived from the traditional "moon festival". In traditional culture, the moon is the same as the sun, and these two celestial bodies that appear alternately and coincidentally have become the objects of worship of the ancestors.

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the sacrifice of the ancients to the moon, and is the remnant and derivation of the Chinese nation's custom of worshiping the moon.

Worshipping the moon is a very ancient custom in our country, and it is actually a kind of worship activity of the ancients in some parts of our country in ancient times to the "moon god".

According to research, the original "Moon Festival" was set on the day of the "autumn equinox" of the 24th solar term of the Ganzhi calendar, but due to historical development, the later calendar was integrated and the lunar calendar (summer calendar) was used, so the "Moon Festival" was adjusted from the 24th solar term "autumn equinox" of the Ganzhi calendar to the 15th day of August of the summer calendar (lunar calendar). The Mid-Autumn Festival is a synthesis of autumn seasonal customs, and most of the festival elements contained in it have ancient origins.

1. The origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival: The origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival is related to agricultural production. Autumn is the harvest season.

The interpretation of the word "autumn" is: "the crops are ripe and called autumn". In August, the Mid-Autumn Festival ripens crops and various fruits one after another, and farmers take the "Mid-Autumn Festival" as a festival in order to celebrate the harvest and express their joy.

2. Some historians have also pointed out that the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival should be the end of the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Army on August 15, the thirteenth year of the Great Cause.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the "Moon Festival" or "Reunion Festival", is one of the important traditional festivals of the Chinese nation. The origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival can be traced back to the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, a festival that calls for family reunions to express love and love between family members. The festival is also a special time for the whole family to share mooncakes, relive the memories of the old days, and sing the song of nature's harvest.

The origins of the Mid-Autumn Festival can be traced back thousands of years to China, when farmers would worship the moon god "Hou Yi" on the August half festival to pray for a good harvest of their crops. Later, the worship of the moon god has been upgraded to a major festival and has become a traditional festival for the whole family, that is, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has a variety of traditional customs. The most famous is moon viewing. But different regions have different ways to enjoy the moon, some areas will fly kites, some will set off fireworks, some will prepare mooncakes, and some will sing poetry.

In ancient Chinese literature, there are many famous poems related to moon viewing, which is also an important traditional part of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In addition, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a mooncake eating custom. Mooncakes have many important religious meanings, and it is also an important part of the Mid-Autumn Festival and family reunions. Traditional flavors such as rice wine, grapefruit, sesame seeds, and lotus seeds contained in mooncakes are also unique flavors of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mooncakes. In addition to the main traditional activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are other festival activities, such as "Gui Tang Society", "Climbing Taoyuan", "Fishing Competition", "Autumn Leaf Dance", "Lantern Festival" and so on, these activities are an important part of the traditional customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival, implying peace, family reunion, auspiciousness and other aesthetic spirits.

Mid-autumn festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival has become one of the traditional Chinese festivals, and every year in the middle of August, families sit around to celebrate this special festival. It is not only a symbol of family reunion, but also a matter of maintaining family reunion and maintaining family harmony, so that people can understand each other's love, as well as love and maintenance of traditional culture.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history, and other traditional festivals, it is also slowly developed and formed, the ancient emperors had a spring sacrifice day, autumn sacrifice moon ritual system, as early as the "Zhou Li" book, there has been a record of the word "Mid-Autumn Festival". Later, the aristocracy and the literati also followed suit, the sail slow ant in the Mid-Autumn Festival, against the sky and bright and round a round moon, watch the worship, sustenance feelings, this custom is passed on to the people, forming a traditional activity, until the state buried in the Tang Dynasty, this custom of sacrificing the moon is more important, the Mid-Autumn Festival has become a fixed festival, "Tang Shu Taizong Ji" records that "August 15 Mid-Autumn Festival", this festival prevailed in the Song Dynasty, to the Ming and Qing dynasties, has been as famous as New Year's Day, has become one of the main festivals in our country.

Answer: The main meaning of this sentence is: when the moon is round, the family members will gather together and reunite together.

By extension, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, family members will return home to reunite with their families. Generally, such discourses contain expressions of homesickness.

In ancient China and literature, the full moon mostly represented family reunion and the Mid-Autumn Festival. The full moon means that the festive season is approaching, and family members will return home from all over the world just to spend time with their families on the night of the full moon.

To sum up, this sentence means the Mid-Autumn Festival and family reunion.

According to the records in Chinese history, the word Mid-Autumn Festival first appeared in the "Zhou Li", which records that "the mid-autumn moon nourishes aging, and the rice porridge diet is practiced". And I don't quite understand what this sentence in Zhou Li means. And in another book, "The Book of Rites", there is also such a record: "The Son of Heaven is the spring and the sun, and the autumn is the sunset."

The moon in the Book of Rites refers to worship, which means that the emperor worships the sun during the day and worships like the moon at night.

This is the earliest origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the real formation of this festival was in the Tang Dynasty, to the Song Dynasty began to prevail this festival, and finally until the Ming and Qing dynasties Mid-Autumn Festival became a festival with the same name as the Spring Festival. Moreover, the earliest attempt to describe the moon was in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and there was a song called "Autumn and Moon".

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, it began to prevail to play with the moon, the Mid-Autumn Festival to enjoy the moon, the Tang Dynasty to describe the moon poems include the famous poet Li Bai wrote "Silent Night Thoughts", Wang Jian wrote the poem "Fifteen Nights Looking at the Moon", and even Li Pu's "Mid-Autumn Festival" and many other poems.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is an ancient festival, and worshipping the moon and admiring the moon are important customs of the festival. In ancient times, the emperors had a social system of sacrificing the moon in spring and the moon in autumn, and the people also had the custom of sacrificing the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Eating mooncakes is another custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and mooncakes symbolize reunion.

The production of moon cakes has become more and more elaborate since the Tang Dynasty. Su Dongpo wrote in a poem: "Small cakes are like chewing the moon, and there are crisps and syrup."

It seems that the mooncakes at that time were quite similar to now.

The word "National Day", which originally referred to the celebration of the country, was first seen in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Lu Ji, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, once recorded in the article "On the Fifth Class Princes" that "the National Day is a unique benefit, and the main worry is not harmful".

In the feudal era of our country, the major events of the country's celebration were the emperor's enthronement and birthday (the Qing Dynasty called the emperor's birthday the Long Live Festival) and so on.

Therefore, in ancient China, the emperor's enthronement and birth were called "National Day".

Today the anniversary of the founding of the state is called the National Day.

It evolved from the autumn and evening moon festivals in ancient times.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history, and the ancient emperors had a ritual system of sacrificing the day in spring and the moon in autumn.
