The Mid-Autumn Festival refers to the 15th day of August in the lunar calendar, and eating moon cakes and grapefruit to enjoy the moon means that it is another year of reunion.

Every year in the eighth lunar month.

The 15th is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the middle of autumn of the year, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. In the Chinese lunar calendar, the year is divided into four seasons, and each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji, so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called Mid-autumn.

The moon on the 15th of August is rounder and brighter than the full moon of other months, so it is also called "Yuexi" and "August Festival".

On this night, people look up at the bright moon in the sky like jade, and naturally look forward to family reunion. Wanderers who are far away also take this opportunity to express their feelings of longing for their hometown and relatives. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the "Reunion Festival".

In ancient times, our people had the custom of "autumn twilight and sunset". The setting moon is to worship the moon god. In the Zhou Dynasty, every Mid-Autumn Festival night was held to welcome the cold and Zen source to worship the moon.

Set up a large incense case, and put moon cakes, watermelons, apples, red dates, plums, grapes and other offerings, among which moon cakes and watermelons are absolutely indispensable. The watermelon should also be cut into lotus potato flowers. He is under the moon, and the moon god is placed in the direction of the moon, the red candle.

Gao burned, the whole family worshiped the moon in turn, and then the housewife cut the reunion moon cake. The person who cuts it calculates in advance how many people are in the whole family, and those who are at home and those who are in other places must be counted together, and they cannot cut more or less, and the size should be the same.
