The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Festival, Moonlight Birthday, Moon Eve, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Moon Worship Festival, Moon Niang Festival, Moon Festival, Reunion Festival, etc., is a traditional Chinese folk festival. 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 flowers, and drinking osmanthus wine.

According to the Chinese calendar, the eighth month of the lunar calendar is in the middle of autumn, which is the second month of autumn, which is called "Zhongqiu", and the 15th of August is in the middle of "Zhongqiu", so it is called "Mid-Autumn".

Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has the custom of worshipping the moon, admiring the moon, eating moon cakes, playing lanterns, admiring osmanthus, drinking osmanthus wine and other customs, which have been passed down for a long time. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are few clouds and fog, and the moon is bright and bright. In addition to a series of activities such as admiring the moon, worshipping the moon, eating moon cakes, and blessing reunion, some places also have activities such as grass dragon dance and pagoda building. Since its development, eating moon cakes has become a must-have custom for the Mid-Autumn Festival in various parts of the north and south of our country.
