History of the Mid-Autumn Festival

In Chinese history, the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival has been told in various ways in folklore, among which there are three familiar stories.

The first story about the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival: The Mid-Autumn Festival evolved slowly from the ancient moon festival. The ancient calendar divides each season into three months, namely, the month of Meng, the month of Zhong, and the month of Ji. The eighth month of the lunar calendar is exactly the second month of autumn, so it is called ” Zhongqiu “, while the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is exactly the half of autumn, so it is called ” Mid-Autumn Festival “. Initially, this day was designated as a festival for ancient emperors to worship the moon, which slowly evolved into the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The second story about the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival: The Mid-Autumn Festival evolved from the story of Chang’e running to the moon. This story is the most popular, Hou Yi shot off the extra nine suns, and then God rewarded him with a kind of medicine to become immortal, he could not leave his wife Chang’e, so he gave the medicine to Chang’e for safekeeping. On August 15th, Chang’e ate the medicine and went to the moon. Hou Yi missed Chang’e, so every year on this day, he would put Chang’e’s favorite food in the garden, hoping that she would come back for a reunion. After that, the festival was passed down from generation to generation, and it was called the Mid-Autumn Festival because it falls on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
