The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, Moonlight Birthday, Moon Eve, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Moon Worship Festival, Moon Goddess Festival, Moon Festival, Reunion Festival, etc., is a traditional Chinese folk festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the moon worship in the autumn evening in ancient times. At first, the "Moon Festival" was held on the "Autumnal Equinox" of the 24 solar terms in the Ganzhi calendar. Later, it was adjusted to the 15th day of the eighth month of the Xia calendar (Lunar calendar). Some places also set the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 16th day of the eighth month of the Xia calendar. Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has had folk customs such as worshiping the moon, appreciating the moon, eating moon cakes, playing with lanterns, appreciating osmanthus, and drinking osmanthus wine, which have been passed down to this day and have lasted for a long time.

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated in ancient times, became popular in the Han Dynasty, was finalized in the early Tang Dynasty, and became popular after the Song Dynasty. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a combination of seasonal customs in autumn, and most of the festival factors it contains have ancient origins. The Mid-Autumn Festival uses the roundness of the moon to symbolize family reunion, to express the longing for hometown and relatives, and to pray for a good harvest and happiness. It has become a rich and precious cultural heritage.
