(一)传统活动习俗(Traditional activities and customs):
祭月/拜月(Moon worship)
Offering sacrifices to the moon is a very old custom in China, which is actually a worship activity of the ancients to the "moon God". In ancient times, there was the custom of "autumn twilight evening moon". The evening moon, that is, worship the moon god. Since ancient times, in some parts of Guangdong, people have the custom of worships the moon god (worships the moon mother, worships the moon) on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Worship the moon, set a big incense table, put on the moon cake, watermelon, apple, red dates, plums, grapes and other offerings. Under the moon, the "moon God" tablet is placed in that direction of the moon, the red candle is burning high, and the whole family worships the moon in turn, praying for blessing. Offering the moon and appreciating the moon, holding the month of remembrance and expressing peoples good wishes. As one of the important sacrificial rites of the Mid-Autumn Festival, from ancient times to the present day, it has gradually evolved into the folk activities of appreciating the moon and praising the moon, and has also become the main form of modern peoples desire to reunite and express their good wishes for life.
祭月,在中国是一种十分古老的习俗,实际上是古人对“月神”的一种崇拜活动。在古代有“秋暮夕月”的习俗。夕月,即拜祭月神。自古以来,在广东部分地区,人们都有在中秋晚上拜祭月神(拜月娘、拜月光)的习俗。拜月,设大香案,摆上月饼、西瓜、苹果、红枣、李子、葡萄等祭品。在月下,将“月神”牌位放在月亮的那个方向,红烛高燃,全家人依次拜祭月亮,祈求福佑。祭月赏月,托月追思,表达了人们的美好祝愿。祭月作为中秋节重要的祭礼之一,从古代延续至今,逐渐演化为民间的赏月、颂月活动,同时也成为现代人渴望团聚、寄托对生活美好愿望的主要形态。
燃灯(Light a lamp)
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is the custom of burning lanterns to help the moonlight. Today, the Huguang area is still used to stack tiles on the tower on the lamp festival custom. The Gangnam area has the festival custom of making lamp boats. The custom of lighting lanterns in modern Mid-Autumn Festival is more prosperous. Today people Zhou Yunjin, He Xiangfei "leisure try to say the season things" article said: "Guangdong lantern is the most prosperous, each family in the festival ten days before, with bamboo lanterns. Do fruit, birds and animals, fish and worms and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and other words, pasted colored paper drawing various colors. The internal combustion candle of the middle autumn night lamp is tied to the bamboo pole with a rope, and is erected on the tile eaves or terraces, or is built into a zigzag shape or various shapes with small lamps, and hung on the height of the house, commonly known as the "tree Mid-Autumn Festival" or "vertical Mid-Autumn Festival". Rich and wealthy families hang the lamp, the height can be counted, the family gathered under the lamp to drink for fun, ordinary people put up a flagpole, two lanterns, also take their own fun. A city full of lights is like a glass world." The scale of the Lantern Festival seems to be second only to the Lantern Festival.
中秋之夜,有燃灯以助月色的风俗。如今湖广一带仍有用瓦片叠塔于塔上燃灯的节俗。江南一带则有制灯船的节俗。近代中秋燃灯之俗更盛。今人周云锦、何湘妃《闲情试说时节事》一文说:“广东张灯最盛,各家于节前十几天,就用竹条扎灯笼。做果品、鸟兽、鱼虫形及‘庆贺中秋’等字样,上糊色纸绘各种颜色。中秋夜灯内燃烛用绳系于竹竿上,高竖于瓦檐或露台上,或用小灯砌成字形或种种形状,挂于家屋高处,俗称‘树中秋’或‘竖中秋’。富贵之家所悬之灯,高可数丈,家人聚于灯下欢饮为乐,平常百姓则竖一旗杆,灯笼两个,也自取其乐。满城灯火不啻琉璃世界。”中秋燃灯之俗其规模似乎仅次于元宵灯节。
赏月(Enjoy the full moon)
The custom of appreciating the moon comes from offering sacrifices to the moon, and serious sacrifices have become relaxed pleasures. It is said that the moon is closest to the earth on this night, and the moon is the largest, roundest and brightest, so there has been the custom of feasting and admiring the moon since ancient times. In ancient times, the customs of the north and the south are different, and the customs of different places are different, and the written records of the Mid-Autumn Festival activities appear in the Wei and Jin dynasties, but it has not become a practice. In the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival, enjoying the moon, playing the moon is quite popular, many poets in the famous articles have a poem chanting the moon.
赏月的风俗来源于祭月,严肃的祭祀变成了轻松的欢娱。据说此夜月球距地球最近,月亮最大最圆最亮,所以从古至今都有饮宴赏月的习俗。古时候南北风俗各异,各地风俗不一,中秋赏月活动的文字记载出现在魏晋时期,但未成习。到了唐代,中秋赏月、玩月颇为盛行,许多诗人的名篇中都有咏月的诗句。

所谓“追月”,即是过了农历八月十五,兴犹未尽,于是次日的晚上,不少人又邀约亲朋好友,继续赏月,名为“追月”。据清人陈子厚《岭南杂事钞》序云:“粤中好事者,于八月十六夜,集亲朋治酒肴赏月,谓之追月。”

After the Han Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival tide watching wind more prosperous. There are also records of tide watching in Ming Zhu Tinghuans "Adding Old Events of Wu Lin" and Song Wu Zimus "Dream Liang Lu".
在古代,浙江一带除中秋赏月外,观潮可谓是又一中秋盛事。中秋观潮的风俗由来已久,早在汉代枚乘的《七发》赋中就有了相当详尽的记述。汉以后,中秋观潮之风更盛。明朱廷焕《增补武林旧事》和宋吴自牧《梦粱录》也有观潮记载。
猜谜(Guess a riddle)
On the night of the full moon, many lanterns are hung in public places, and people gather together to guess the riddles written on the lanterns, because it is a favorite activity of most young men and women, and at the same time, love stories are also transmitted on these activities, so the Mid-Autumn Festival lantern riddles have also been derived from a form of male and female love.

Today, eating moon cakes has become an indispensable custom in the north and south of China to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. On this day, people will eat moon cakes to show "reunion".

玩花灯(Play with lanterns)
Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many game activities, the first is to play lanterns. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the three major lantern festivals in China. Of course, the Mid-Autumn Festival does not have a large Lantern Festival like the Lantern Festival, playing with lights is mainly carried out between families and children. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty "Wulin Old Events", recorded in the autumn night festival customs, there is a "little red" lamp into the river rafting play activities. Mid-Autumn Festival play lanterns, mostly concentrated in the south. Such as Foshan Autumn fair, there are all kinds of colorful lights: sesame lamp, eggshell lamp, planing lamp, straw lamp, fish scale lamp, rice husk lamp, melon seed lamp and bird and animal flower tree lamp, etc., amazing. In Nanning, Guangxi, in addition to all kinds of lanterns tied with paper and bamboo for children to play, there are also very simple pomelo lanterns, pumpkin lanterns, orange lanterns. The so-called pomelo lamp is to hollow out the pomelo, carve a simple pattern, put on a rope, and light a candle inside, the light is elegant. Jack-o -lantern, orange lamp is also pulled out of the flesh. Although simple, but easy to make, very popular, some children also float the pomelo lamp into the pond river for games. Guangxi has a simple household autumn lamp, which is tied into six bamboo strips circles, pasted white gauze paper, ed candles, and hung on the altar for the moon, and can be used for children to play. Nowadays, in many areas of Guangdong and Guangxi, lantern fairs are arranged in the autumn night, large modern lanterns lit by electric lamps are made, and all kinds of new lanterns made of plastic are made for children to play, but there is a lack of the simple beauty of the old lanterns.
中秋节,有许多的游戏活动,首先是玩花灯。中秋是中国三大灯节之一,过节要玩灯。当然,中秋没有像元宵节那样的大型灯会,玩灯主要只是在家庭、儿童之间进行的。早在北宋《武林旧事》中,记载中秋夜节俗,就有将“一点红”灯放入江中漂流玩耍的活动。中秋玩花灯,多集中在南方。如佛山秋色会上,就有各种各式的彩灯:芝麻灯、蛋壳灯、刨花灯、稻草灯、鱼鳞灯、谷壳灯、瓜籽灯及鸟兽花树灯等,令人赞叹。在广西南宁一带,除了以纸竹扎各式花灯让儿童玩耍外,还有很朴素的柚子灯、南瓜灯、桔子灯。所谓柚子灯,是将柚子掏空,刻出简单图案,穿上绳子,内点蜡烛即成,光芒淡雅。南瓜灯、桔子灯也是将瓤掏去而成。虽然朴素,但制作简易,很受欢迎,有些孩子还把柚子灯漂入池河水中作游戏。广西有简单的户秋灯,是以六个竹篾圆圈扎成灯,外糊白纱纸,内插蜡烛即成,挂于祭月桌旁祭月用,也可给孩子们玩。如今两广的不少地区,在中秋夜布置灯会,扎制用电灯照亮的大型现代灯彩,还有用塑料制成的各式新型花灯供儿童玩,但却少了一份旧时灯彩的纯朴之美。

听香(Listening to incense)
Listening to incense is an ancient Mid-Autumn Festival custom spread in Taiwan. In ancient times, the girl who wanted to marry, first burned incense in front of the gods at home to worship, tell her heart, pray for the gods to indicate the direction of listening to incense, and then according to the direction of the road accidentally or overheard the first sentence, keep in mind, and then throw a jiao back home, judge to explain the luck of the divination things.

烧塔(Burning tower)
Mid-Autumn lantern and lantern lantern are not the same. The pagoda lamp is lit in the autumn night, and it is mainly popular in the south. Pagoda lamp, that is, a lamp built into a pagoda shape by village children picking up rubble. In the Qing Dynasty, the villagers of Suzhou used tiles to form seven-level pagodas in the wilderness, with the king of the land in the middle and lights burning around them, called "tower lights". Guangzhou children burn "Fan tower lamp", made of broken tiles; There are pomelo peel lamps, with red pomelo peel carved various figures and flowers, placed in the middle of a glass, red light. In addition, the South is also widely spread burning tile lamp (or burn tower, burn tower, burn tower) game, in Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places have been spread. For example, "Chinese National Customs" volume five: Jiangxi "in the autumn night, the general children pick up tiles in the field, piled into a round tower, porous. Burn it in a wood tower under the moon at dusk. As soon as the tiles burned red, and then poured kerosene, oil on the fire, all the wild red, shining like day. Until late at night, when no one is watching, it begins to pour breath, which is a burning tile lamp." The burning tower in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, is also a hollow tower built with brick tiles, filled with branches and burned. At the same time, they also burn smoke piles, that is, piles of grass and firewood, which are burned after the worship of the moon. In the border area of Guangxi, the Zhaofan Pagoda is similar to this kind of activity. In Jinjiang, Fujian, there is also a "pagoda burning" activity.
中秋灯与元宵灯不大相同。中秋夜点的是宝塔灯,而且主要在南方流行。宝塔灯,即由村童捡拾瓦砾搭成宝塔形状的灯。清代苏州村民在旷野用瓦叠成七级宝塔,中间供地藏王,四周燃灯,称为“塔灯”。广州儿童燃“番塔灯”,用碎瓦为之;还有柚皮灯,用红柚皮雕刻各种人物花草,中间安放一个琉璃盏,红光四射。另外南方还广泛流传着烧瓦子灯(或称烧花塔、烧瓦塔、烧番塔)的游戏,在江西、广东、广西等地都有流传。如《中华全国风俗志》卷五记:江西“中秋夜,一般孩子于野外拾瓦片,堆成一圆塔形,有多孔。黄昏时于明月下置木柴塔中烧之。俟瓦片烧红,再泼以煤油,火上加油,霎时四野火红,照耀如昼。直至夜深,无人观看,始行泼息,是名烧瓦子灯”。广东潮州的烧瓦塔,也是以砖瓦砌成空心塔,填入树枝烧起火来。同时还燃烟堆,就是将草柴堆成堆,在拜月结束后烧燃。而在广西边疆一带的烧番塔,亦类似这种活动。福建晋江亦有“烧塔仔”的活动。
中秋宴俗(Mid-Autumn feast custom)
In ancient China, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is the most refined and elegant in the court. Such as the Ming Dynasty court is popular to eat crabs. After the crab is steamed with the bag, the people sit around to taste, with wine vinegar. Drink Su leaf soup after eating, and wash your hands with it. Around the banquet table area, full of flowers, pomegranates and other seasonal delicacies, performing the Mid-Autumn Festival mythology drama. The Qing Palace mostly put a screen to the east in a certain hospital, on both sides of the screen shelved cockscomb, edamame technology, taro, peanuts, radish, fresh lotus root. In front of the screen, there is an eight-fairy table with an oversized mooncake, surrounded by pastries and fruits. At the end of the festival, the moon cake is cut into several pieces according to the royal population, and each person symbolically tastes a bite, called "eating reunion cake". The moon cake in the Qing Palace is so large that it is hard to imagine. Like the last emperor Pu Yi awarded a moon cake to the chief minister of Internal affairs Shao Ying, is "about two feet in diameter, and weighs about 20 jin."
古时中国的中秋宴俗,以宫廷最为精雅。如明代宫廷时兴吃螃蟹。螃蟹用蒲包蒸熟后,众人围坐品尝,佐以酒醋。食毕饮苏叶汤,并用之洗手。宴桌区周,摆满鲜花、大石榴以及其他时鲜,演出中秋的神话戏曲。清宫多在某一院内向东放一架屏风,屏风两侧搁置鸡冠花、毛豆技、芋头、花生、萝卜、鲜藕。屏风前设一张八仙桌,上置一个特大的月饼,四周缀满糕点和瓜果。祭月完毕,按皇家人口将月饼切作若干块,每人象征性地尝一口,名曰“吃团圆饼”。清宫月饼之大,令人难以想象。像末代皇帝溥仪赏给总管内务大臣绍英的一个月饼,便是“径约二尺许,重约二十斤”。

"Yanjing year of the record" : "Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the city peoples clever, with the loess knead into the image of the rabbit to sell, called the rabbit." The imperial court of the Qing Dynasty called the Jade rabbit in the moon Taiyin Jun. But Beijing residents call him the Rabbit boy. In the folk customs around Beijing, the Mid-Autumn Festival Festival of rabbit children is not serious enough but more games.
明人纪坤(约一六三六年前后在世)的《花王阁剩稿》:“京中秋节多以泥抟兔形,衣冠踞坐如人状,儿女祀而拜之。”到了清代,兔儿爷的功能已由祭月转变为儿童的中秋节玩具。兔爷是泥做的,兔首人身,披甲胄,插护背旗,脸贴金泥,身施彩绘,或坐或立,或捣杵或骑兽,竖着两只大耳朵,亦庄亦谐。《燕京岁时记》:“每届中秋,市人之巧者,用黄土抟成蟾兔之像以出售,谓之兔儿爷。”清代宫廷是把月中的玉兔称做太阴君的。然而北京百姓们称它为兔儿爷。在北京一带的民俗中,中秋节祭兔儿爷实是庄重不足而游戏有余。

1、起源(Origin)
The origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival is closely related to the moon, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is a relic of the ancient sky worship - the custom of respecting the moon. During the Autumnal equinox, it is the ancient "Moon Festival". Offering sacrifices to the moon is a very old custom in China, which is actually a worship activity of the "moon God" in some places of ancient China in ancient times. The Mid-Autumn Festival comes from the traditional "Autumn equinox offering moon". In traditional culture, the moon and the sun, the two alternate celestial bodies became the objects of worship of the ancestors. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from ancient peoples sacrifice to the moon, and is the remains and derivatives of the Chinese nations custom of offering sacrifices to the moon.

2、发展(Development)
The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of the sky, and evolved from the ancient autumn festival to the moon. Offering sacrifices to the moon is a very old custom in China, and it is a worship activity of the ancient people in some places of ancient China to the "moon God". In the autumn equinox season of the 24 solar terms, it is the ancient "moon Festival". The Mid-Autumn Festival comes from the traditional "Autumn equinox offering moon". In ancient farming society, the ancients believed that the movement of the moon had a lot to do with agricultural production and seasonal changes, so the moon offering became an important sacrificial activity. Moon worship, as one of the important rites and customs of folk festivals, has gradually evolved into activities such as appreciating the moon and praising the moon.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was popularized in the Han Dynasty, which was a period of economic and cultural exchange and integration between the north and the south of China. The word "Mid-Autumn Festival" is the earliest existing written record in the Han Dynasty literature, written between the Han Dynasty "Zhou rites" (written by the Duke of Zhou, actually written between the Han Dynasty), said that before the Qin Dynasty had "autumn night to welcome cold", "Mid-Autumn Festival to offer good Qiu Qiu", "Autumn equinox evening moon (worship)" activities. According to records, in the Han Dynasty, there were activities on the Mid-Autumn Festival or the beginning of Autumn to respect the elderly, provide for the elderly, and give male rough cakes. In the Jin Dynasty, there are also written records of appreciating the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they are less common. Mid-Autumn Festival was not popular in northern China before the Jin Dynasty.
The Mid-Autumn Festival custom became popular in northern China during the Tang Dynasty. The Mid-Autumn Festival became an official national holiday during the Tang Dynasty. The Book of Tang · Taizong records "August 15 Mid-Autumn Festival". The custom of enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival flourished in Chang an in the Tang Dynasty, and many poets had poems about chanting the moon in their famous articles. And the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chang e to the moon, Wu Gang felling GUI, jade rabbit pound medicine, Yang Guifei into the moon God, Tang Ming Emperor tour moon palace and other mythic stories combined, so that it is full of romantic color, play the moon wind just flourishing. The Tang Dynasty was an important period when the traditional festival customs were mixed and formed, and its main part has been passed down to the present.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, August 15 of the lunar calendar was officially designated as "Mid-Autumn Festival". Literary works appear in "small cakes such as chewing moon, with crisp and Yi Yi" seasonal food. Such as Meng elder "Tokyo Menghualu" said: "in the autumn night, your home decorated terrace, the folk to occupy the restaurant play month"; And "String heavy boiling, near extended residents, the sound of Sheng taro at night, like clouds outside." Children in the room, even night marriage play; The night market is rhythmical, as well as knowing."
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the worldly interest became stronger and stronger every day. The Ming and Qing dynasties of the moon activities, "its offering fruit cake will be round", each family to set up "moonlight position", in the direction of the moon "to the month and worship." Lu Qihongs "Beijing Yuhua Record" says: "In the autumn night, people each place the moon palace symbol, the symbol is free from such as people stand; Chen melon fruit in court, cake surface painting moon palace toad free; Men and women worship and burn incense, and then burn them." "Emperor scenery" also said: "On the fifteenth day of August, the cake will be round, the melon will be wrong teeth, petals carved like lotus. ... It has a woman to return to the home, is the day will return to the husband, said the Reunion Festival also."
So far, eating moon cakes has been a necessary custom for the Mid-Autumn Festival in north and south China. Mooncakes symbolize happy reunion. People regard them as festival food, offering sacrifices to the moon and presenting them to relatives and friends. In addition to mooncakes, a variety of seasonal fresh and dried fruits are also delicacies in the autumn night. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the clouds and fog are less, the moon is bright and bright, and there are a series of festival activities such as enjoying the moon, offering sacrifices to the moon, eating moon cakes, eating sweet potatoes, carrying lanterns, dancing grass dragons, trees and building pagodas.
中秋节源自对天象的崇拜,由上古时代秋夕祭月演变而来。祭月,在中国是一种十分古老的习俗,是古代中国一些地方古人对“月神”的一种崇拜活动。在二十四节气的秋分时节,是古老的“祭月节”。中秋节则是由传统的“秋分祭月”而来。在古代农耕社会,古人认为月亮的运行同农业生产和季节变化有很大关系,因此祭月就成了一项重要祭祀活动。祭月,作为民间做节的重要礼俗之一,逐渐演化为赏月、颂月等活动。
中秋节普及于汉代,汉代是中国南北各地的经济文化交流融合时期,各地文化上的交流使节俗融合传播。“中秋”一词现存文字记载最早见于汉代文献,成书于两汉之间的《周礼》(世传为周公旦所著,实际上成书于两汉之间)中说,先秦已有“中秋夜迎寒”、“中秋献良裘”、“秋分夕月(拜月)”的活动。据记载,在汉代时,有在中秋或立秋之日敬老、养老,赐以雄粗饼的活动。晋时亦有出现中秋赏月之举的文字记载,不过不太普遍。晋之前中秋节在中国北方地区还不流行。
唐代时中秋风俗在中国北方地区已流行。在唐代中秋节成为了官方认定的全国性节日。《唐书·太宗记》记载有“八月十五中秋节”。中秋赏月风俗在唐代的长安一带极盛,许多诗人的名篇中都有咏月的诗句。并将中秋与嫦娥奔月、吴刚伐桂、玉兔捣药、杨贵妃变月神、唐明皇游月宫等神话故事结合起,使之充满浪漫色彩,玩月之风方才大兴。唐代是传统节日习俗揉合定型的重要时期,其主体部分传承至今。
北宋时期,正式定阴历八月十五为“中秋节”。文学作品中出现了“小饼如嚼月,中有酥和饴”的节令食品。如孟元老《东京梦华录》说:“中秋夜,贵家结饰台榭,民间争占酒楼玩月”;而且“弦重鼎沸,近内延居民,深夜逢闻笙芋之声,宛如云外。间里儿童,连宵婚戏;夜市骈阗,至于通晓”。
明清时期,岁时节日中世俗的情趣愈益浓厚。明清两朝的赏月活动,“其祭果饼必圆”,各家都要设“月光位”,在月出方向“向月供而拜”。陆启泓《北京岁华记》载:“中秋夜,人家各置月宫符象,符上免如人立;陈瓜果于庭,饼面绘月宫蟾免;男女肃拜烧香,旦而焚之。”《帝京景物略》中也说:“八月十五祭月,其饼必圆,分瓜必牙错,瓣刻如莲花。……其有妇归宁者,是日必返夫家,曰团圆节也。”
发展至今,吃月饼已经是中国南北各地过中秋节的必备习俗。月饼象征着大团圆,人们把它当作节日食品,用它祭月、赠送亲友。除月饼外,各种时令鲜果干果也是中秋夜的美食。中秋节时,云稀雾少,月光皎洁明亮,民间有赏月、祭月、吃月饼、吃甜薯、提灯笼、舞草龙、树中秋、砌宝塔等一系列的节庆活动。
中秋节的来历(The origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival:):
The Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, is celebrated every year on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month and is said to commemorate Chang e. The word "Mid-Autumn Festival" first appeared in "Zhou Rites". According to the ancient Chinese calendar, there are four seasons in a year, three months in each season, respectively, known as Meng month, Zhong month, quarter month three parts, because the second month of autumn is called midautumn, and because of the lunar August 15, in the middle of August, it is called the "Mid-Autumn Festival". In the early Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival.
"New Tang Book · Volume 15 Chi fifth · Rites and music five" contains "which spring, Mid-Autumn Festival release Dien in Wenxuan King, Wucheng King", and "Kaiyuan nineteen years, the beginning of the Taigong Shangfu Temple, to stay Zhang Liang." In the middle of spring and the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sacrifice and the music are like the text." According to historical records, the ancient emperor festival for the lunar August 15, the time coincides with the third half of autumn, so the name "Mid-Autumn Festival"; And because this festival in autumn August, it is also called "autumn festival", "August Festival", "August meeting" and "Mid-Autumn Festival"; There are also beliefs and related customs to pray for reunion, so it is also called "Reunion Festival" and "Daughters Day". Because the main activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival are carried out around the "moon", it is also commonly known as the "moon festival", "Moon night", "chasing the moon festival", "playing the moon festival" and "worship the moon Festival"; In the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival was also called "correct month". The popularity of the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty, to the Ming and Qing dynasties, has become one of the main festivals with the New Years Day. About the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are roughly three kinds: originated from the ancient worship of the moon, the custom of singing and dancing under the moon to find a mate, and the custom of worshiping the land god in the ancient autumn. The traditional Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. This is the middle of autumn, so it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the Chinese lunar calendar, the year is divided into four seasons, and each quarter is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji, so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called midautumn. The moon of August 15 is rounder and brighter than the full moon of other months, so it is also called "Yuexi" and "August Festival". This night, people look up at the sky as jade as a plate of Lang Lang moon, naturally will look forward to family reunion. The wanderers who are far away from home also take this opportunity to express their missing feelings for their hometown and loved ones. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Reunion Festival". The people of our country have the custom of "autumn month" in ancient times. The evening moon, that is, worship the moon god. In the Zhou Dynasty, every autumn night was held to welcome the cold and offer sacrifices to the moon. Set a large incense table, put on moon cakes, watermelon, apples, dates, plums, grapes and other offerings, of which moon cakes and watermelon are absolutely not less. Watermelon also cut into lotus shape. Under the moon, the moon god in that direction of the moon, red candle burning, the whole family in turn worship the moon, and then by the housewife cut the reunion moon cake. Cut people in advance to calculate how many people in the whole family, at home, in the field, should be counted together, can not cut more or less, the size should be the same. According to legend, the ugly woman of the ancient state of Qi had no salt, and worshipped the moon when she was young. When she grew up, she entered the palace with superior character, but she was not favored. One August 15 full moon, the son of heaven in the moonlight to see her, think she is beautiful, after she set up as the queen, Mid-Autumn Festival worship from this. Chang e in the middle of the month, known for beauty, so the girl worship the moon, willing to "look like Chang e, face such as bright moon."
In the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival, enjoying the moon, playing the moon is quite popular. In the Northern Song Dynasty. On the night of August 15, people in the city, whether rich or poor, should wear adult clothes, burn incense and worship the moon to say their wishes and pray for the blessing of the moon God. In the Southern Song Dynasty, mooncakes are given to each other by the people, which is the meaning of reunion. In some places, there are activities such as dancing grass dragons and building pagodas. Since Ming and Qing Dynasties, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival has become more popular; Many places have formed special customs such as burning bucket incense, tree Mid-Autumn Festival, tower lamp, sky lamp, moon walk, fire dragon dance and so on. Today, the custom of playing under the moon is far from popular in the old days. But the banquet is still very popular, people ask the wine to the month, to celebrate the good life of the "toast to invite the moon", or wish distant relatives healthy and happy, and the family "a thousand miles of the moon."
中秋节,是中国传统节日,为每年农历八月十五,传说是为了纪念嫦娥。“中秋”一词,最早见于《周礼》。根据我国古代历法,一年有四季,每季三个月,分别被称为孟月、仲月、季月三部分,因为秋季的第二月叫仲秋,且又因农历八月十五日,在八月中旬,故称“中秋”。到了唐朝初年,中秋节才成为了固定的节日。
《新唐书·卷十五志第五·礼乐五》载“其中春、中秋释奠于文宣王、武成王”,及“开元十九年,始置太公尚父庙,以留侯张良配。中春、中秋上戊祭之,牲、乐之制如文”。据史籍记载,古代帝王祭月的节期为农历八月十五,时日恰逢三秋之半,故名“中秋节”;又因为这个节日在秋季八月,故又称“秋节”“八月节”“八月会”“中秋节”;又有祈求团圆的信仰和相关习俗活动,故亦称“团圆节”“女儿节”。因中秋节的主要活动都是围绕“月”进行的,所以又俗称“月节”“月夕”“追月节”“玩月节”“拜月节”;在唐朝,中秋节还被称为“端正月”。中秋节的盛行始于宋朝,至明清时,已与元旦齐名,成为我国的主要节日之一。关于中秋节的起源,大致有三种:起源于古代对月的崇拜、月下歌舞觅偶的习俗,古代秋报拜土地神的习俗。每年农历八月十五日,是传统的中秋佳节。这时是一年秋季的中期,所以被称为中秋。在中国的农历里,一年分为四季,每季又分为孟、仲、季三个部分,因而中秋也称仲秋。八月十五的月亮比其他几个月的满月更圆,更明亮,所以又叫做“月夕”“八月节”。此夜,人们仰望天空如玉如盘的朗朗明月,自然会期盼家人团聚。远在他乡的游子,也借此寄托自己对故乡和亲人的思念之情。所以,中秋又称“团圆节”。我国人民在古代就有“秋暮夕月”的习俗。夕月,即祭拜月神。到了周代,每逢中秋夜都要举行迎寒和祭月。设大香案,摆上月饼、西瓜、苹果、红枣、李子、葡萄等祭品,其中月饼和西瓜是绝对不能少的。西瓜还要切成莲花状。在月下,将月亮神像放在月亮的那个方向,红烛高燃,全家人依次拜祭月亮,然后由当家主妇切开团圆月饼。切的人预先算好全家共有多少人,在家的,在外地的,都要算在一起,不能切多也不能切少,大小要一样。相传古代齐国丑女无盐,幼年时曾虔诚拜月,长大后,以超群品德入宫,但未被宠幸。某年八月十五赏月,天子在月光下见到她,觉得她美丽出众,后立她为皇后,中秋拜月由此而来。月中嫦娥,以美貌著称,故少女拜月,愿“貌似嫦娥,面如皓月”。
在唐代,中秋赏月、玩月颇为盛行。在北宋京师。八月十五夜,满城人家,不论贫富老小,都要穿上成人的衣服,焚香拜月说出心愿,祈求月亮神的保佑。南宋,民间以月饼相赠,取团圆之义。有些地方还有舞草龙,砌宝塔等活动。明清以来,中秋节的风俗更加盛行;许多地方形成了烧斗香、树中秋、点塔灯、放天灯、走月亮、舞火龙等特殊风俗。今天,月下游玩的习俗,已远没有旧时盛行。但设宴赏月仍很盛行,人们把酒问月,庆贺美好的生活的“举杯邀明月”,或祝远方的亲人健康快乐,和家人“千里共婵娟”。

月中之桂树与吴刚的传说,以唐代段成式《酉阳杂俎》前集卷一《天咫》所载最为具体,其云:“旧言月中有桂、有蟾蜍,故异书言月桂高五百丈,下有一人常斫之,树创随合。人姓吴名刚,西河人,学仙有过,谪令伐树。”
意思是说吴刚曾跟随仙人修道,到了天界,但是他犯了错误,仙人就把他发配到月亮,命令他砍伐不死之树--月桂。月桂高达五百丈,随砍即合,炎帝就是利用这种永无休止的劳动为对吴刚的惩罚。
李白诗中有“欲斫月中桂,持为寒者薪”的记载。
故事三:玉兔捣药(Story Three: The Jade Rabbit crushes medicine)
This legend was first seen in the "Han Yuefu Dong Escape" : "The jade rabbit long kneel to crush medicine toad pills, offer your Majesty a jade plate, take this medicine can be immortal."
According to legend, there is a rabbit in the moon, white as jade, so it is called "Jade rabbit". This white rabbit holds a jade pestle, kneels down to pound medicine, into toad pills, take these pills can be immortal. The Jade Rabbit is probably Chang es earliest playmate in the Guanghan Palace.
Summary: The first three Mid-Autumn Festival stories are full of myths and legends of the shadow, about the link between the three, there is such a saying: according to legend, Yi from the West queen Mother got the immortal medicine, handed over to the Heng for safekeeping. Fengmeng went to steal after hearing, stealing is not going to harm the Heng.
In an emergency, the Heng swallowed the medicine and flew to the sky. Unwilling to leave Yi, the Heng stayed in the moon Moon Moon Palace.
The loneliness of the Moon Palace was unbearable, so he urged Wu Gang to cut down the laurel tree and let the Jade rabbit crush the medicine, hoping to mix it into the medicine of soaring, so that he could return to earth and reunite with Yi as soon as possible.
The following three legends have certain historical prototypes and are closely related to well-known historical figures and historical records. Lets continue to taste!
此传说最早见于《汉乐府董逃行》:“玉兔长跪捣药蛤蟆丸,奉上陛下一玉盘,服此药可得神仙。”
相传月亮之中有一只兔子,浑身洁白如玉,所以称作“玉兔”。这种白兔拿着玉杵,跪地捣药,成蛤蟆丸,服用此等药丸可以长生成仙。玉兔恐怕是嫦娥在广寒宫中最早的玩伴吧。
小结:前三大中秋故事处处带有神话传说的影子,关于三者之间的联系,有一说是这样的:相传羿从西王母那里得到了不死药,交给姮娥保管。逢蒙听说后前去偷窃,偷窃不成就要加害姮娥。
情急之下,姮娥吞下不死药飞到了天上。由于不忍心离开羿,姮娥滞留在月亮广寒宫。
广寒宫里寂寥难耐,于是就催促吴刚砍伐桂树,让玉兔捣药,想配成飞升之药,好早日回到人间与羿团聚。
以下三大传说,则有着一定的历史原型,与知名历史人物和史料记载紧密联系。让我们继续细品吧!
故事四:玄宗览月(Story four: Xuanzong Watching the Moon)
According to legend, Tang Xuanzong and Shen Tianshi and Taoist Hong are all Mid-Autumn moon, suddenly Xuanzong rose the idea of touring the moon palace, so Tianshi practice, three people started on the Qingyun, roaming the moon palace.
However, the front of the palace is heavily guarded and cannot be entered, and can only overlook the imperial city of Chang an outside. On this occasion, suddenly heard the immortal bursts of sound, beautiful and beautiful, as moving!
Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was always familiar with the rhythm of music, so he memorized it in his heart. This is exactly "this song should only exist in heaven, and the world can hear it several times!"
In the future, Xuanzong recalled the music and singing of the moon palace fairy, and composed music and choreography himself, which is the famous "Nishang Yuyi song" in history.
相传唐玄宗与申天师及道士鸿都中秋望月,突然玄宗兴起游月宫之念,于是天师作法,三人一起步上青云,漫游月宫。
但宫前有守卫森严,无法进入,只能在外俯瞰长安皇城。在此之际,忽闻仙声阵阵,清丽奇绝,宛转动人!
唐玄宗素来熟通音律,于是默记心中。这正是“此曲只应天上有,人间能得几回闻!”
日后玄宗回忆月宫仙娥的音乐歌声,自己又谱曲编舞,这便是历史上有名的“霓裳羽衣曲”。
故事五:貂蝉拜月(Story five: The Diao Cicada worships the moon)
Diao Chan was the song girl of Situ Wang Yun in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
According to legend, Diao Cicada was born, and within three years, the local peach blossom was withered; Mink cicada midnight worship moon, moon in the Chang e ashamed, hurriedly hidden into the clouds; Diao cicada beautiful body, thin ears green ring, when the wind swing willow, quiet gentle, the beauty of Diao cicada, is a great view.
It is because of this beauty that Dong Zhuo, who plays power as a force, and Lu Bu, who is brave and without a plan, turn against each other, making the chaotic court and opposition a little peaceful.
貂蝉是东汉末年司徒王允的歌女,国色天香,有倾国倾城之貌。
传说貂蝉降生人世,三年间当地桃杏花开即凋;貂蝉午夜拜月,月里嫦娥自愧不如,匆匆隐入云中;貂蝉身姿俏美,细耳碧环,行时风摆杨柳,静时文雅有余,貂蝉之美,蔚为大观。
正是因了这种美貌,让弄权作威的董卓、勇而无谋的吕布反目成仇,使得动乱不堪的朝野稍有安宁之象。
故事六:月下独酌(Story Six: Drinking alone under the moon)
The poet Li Bai wrote about drinking alone under the flower moon. "To the film into three people" sentence wonderful conception, showing his lonely and bold feelings. "Li Shi straight solution" : "This on the month alone to drink, let loose to enjoy yourself."
When the poet plays, the background is a flower, the prop is a pot of wine, the role is just his own person, the action is drinking alone, plus "no blind date" three words, the scene is very monotonous.
So the poet suddenly had a whim, the horizon of the moon, and his shadow under the moon, pulled over, even himself, into three people, drinking together, the quiet scene, it was lively.
诗人李白写自己在花间月下独酌的情景。“对影成三人”句构思奇妙,表现了他孤独而豪放的情怀。《李诗直解》:“此对月独饮,放怀达观以自乐也。”
诗人上场时,背景是花间,道具是一壶酒,登场角色只是他自己一个人,动作是独酌,加上“无相亲”三个字,场面单调得很。
于是诗人忽发奇想,把天边的明月,和月光下自己的影子,拉了过来,连自己在内,化成了三个人,举杯共酌,冷清清的场面,就热闹起来了。
故事七:月饼起义(Story Seven: Mooncake Uprising)
The tradition of eating moon cakes at Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the vast majority of people in the Central Plains could not bear the cruel rule of the ruling class of the Yuan Dynasty, and they rose up against the Yuan. Unite the opposing forces and prepare for an uprising.
However, the court officers and soldiers search is very strict, and it is very difficult to convey information. The military adviser Liu Bowen came up with a plan to order his subordinates to hide the "August 15 night uprising" note into the cake inside, and then send people to separate and transmit to the rebels around the country, informing them of the uprising response on the night of August 15.
On the day of the uprising, the rebel armies responded together. Soon, Xu Da captured the Yuan Dadu and the uprising was successful.
The news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy to quickly pass down the next command, in the coming Mid-Autumn Festival, let all the soldiers and the people enjoy, and will start the year to secretly convey the message of the "moon cake", as a seasonal cake reward of ministers.
Since then, the production of "moon cakes" has become more and more sophisticated, and more varieties have been produced, and the custom of eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people.
中秋节吃月饼相传始于元代。当时,中原广大人民不堪忍受元朝统治阶级的残酷统治,纷纷起义抗元。联合各路反抗力量准备起义。
但朝庭官兵搜查的十分严密,传递消息十分困难。军师刘伯温便想出一计策,命令属下把藏有“八月十五夜起义”的纸条藏入饼子里面,再派人分头传送到各地起义军中,通知他们在八月十五日晚上起义响应。
到了起义的那天,各路义军一起响应。很快,徐达就攻下元大都,起义成功了。
消息传来,朱元璋高兴得连忙传下口谕,在即将来临的中秋节,让全体将士与民同乐,并将当年起兵时以秘密传递信息的“月饼”,作为节令糕点赏赐群臣。
此后,“月饼”制作越发精细,品种更多,之后中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间流传开来。
中秋节日别称(Mid-Autumn Festival another name)
Initially, the festival of the "Moon Festival" was on the day of the "Autumn Equinox" of the 24 solar terms of the Ganzhi calendar, and later it was transferred to the 15th of August of the Xia calendar (lunar calendar). According to the Chinese calendar, August is in the middle of autumn, the second month of autumn, called "Mid-Autumn", and August 15 is in the "Mid-Autumn", so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival".
There are many other names for the Mid-Autumn Festival: in ancient times, there were autumn equinox night (worship) activities, so it is called "Moon night" or "festival of offering moon". Because the festival is on August 15, it is called "August Festival" and "August half"; Because the main activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival are carried out around the "moon", so it is also commonly known as "moon festival"; Mid-Autumn Festival The moon is complete, symbolizing reunion, so it is also called "Reunion Festival".

In Guangfu area, the Mid-Autumn Festival is commonly known as "Moonlight Festival". In Mid-Autumn, all kinds of melons and fruits are ripe and listed, because they are called "fruit Festival". Dong people called "pumpkin festival", Mulam people called "afterlife festival" and so on.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as "correct month". The record of "Reunion Festival" first appeared in Ming Dynasty literature. "West Lake tour Chi Yu" said: "August 15 is called the Mid-Autumn Festival, folk to send moon cakes, take the meaning of reunion." "Emperor scenery" also said: "On the fifteenth day of August, the cake will be round, the melon will be wrong teeth, petals carved like lotus. ... It has a woman to return to the home, is the day will return to the husband, said the Reunion Festival also."
最初“祭月节”的节期是在干支历二十四节气“秋分”这天,后来才调至夏历(农历)八月十五。根据中国的历法,农历八月在秋季中间,为秋季的第二个月,称为“仲秋”,而八月十五又在“仲秋”之中,所以称“中秋”。
中秋节有许多别称:古时有秋分夕月(拜月)的活动,故称“月夕”或“祭月节”。因节期在八月十五,所以称“八月节”、“八月半”;因中秋节的主要活动都是围绕“月”进行的,所以又俗称“月节”;中秋节月亮圆满,象征团圆,因而又叫“团圆节”。中秋节月亮圆满,家人团聚,出嫁的女儿回家团圆,因此又称“团圆节”、“女儿节”。在广府地区,中秋节俗称“月光诞”。仲秋时节各种瓜果成熟上市,因称“果子节”。侗族称为“南瓜节”,仫佬族称为“后生节”等。
中秋节还被称为“端正月”。关于“团圆节”的记载最早见于明代文学作品。《西湖游览志余》中说:“八月十五谓中秋,民间以月饼相送,取团圆之意。”《帝京景物略》中也说:“八月十五祭月,其饼必圆,分瓜必牙错,瓣刻如莲花。……其有妇归宁者,是日必返夫家,曰团圆节也。”

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival with unique customs for the Chinese people, and it is also one of the four traditional festivals, representing the family reunion.
There are many customs in this festival, such as eating moon cakes, burning lanterns and enjoying the moon. Dongpo once wrote: "Small cakes like chewing moon, there are crisp and filling." It can be seen that since ancient times, people have attached great importance to this festival.
In kindergarten, I also began to pay attention to these holidays. The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the teacher asked everyone to make a unique lantern of their own. We each picked up a variety of tools to process their own lanterns, there are rabbit lights, bear lights, dog lights and other cute and durable lanterns.
During the production process, the teacher also told about the source of the Mid-Autumn Festival: "The Mid-Autumn Festival has a very long history, it is like other traditional festivals, are slowly formed. The ancient emperors had the rites of spring and autumn. As early as in the book "Zhou Rites" there is the word "Mid-Autumn Festival" recorded. Later, there were also noble people, scholars and scholars to follow suit. The poet Li Bai was one of them. The custom of worship to the moon will be spread to tomorrow and under the moon, play in many Mid-Autumn Festival customs, are peoples infinite love for life, yearning for a better life." How was I supposed to understand? When I grew up, I found these words interesting.
That night, I was hanging out with my family. To the street full of colorful lanterns, we walked in the world of lanterns, carefully watching the lifelike jade rabbit lamp, vivid image of the moon lamp. Simple classical function, all kinds of lanterns, beautiful shape, dazzling. At that time, I was young, and I didnt pay much attention to it. I just hung the lamp on the high place. Under the light, the lanterns are vivid. Coupled with our careful lantern riddles, these lanterns become even more interesting. When looking out, it is like a star, faintly visible and dazzling.
After swinging for a long time, we reluctantly left this brightly lit street.
When I grow up, I think back to these past events, and I cant help laughing out.
中秋节对于中国人来说是一个具有独特风俗的节日,也是四大传统节日之一,代表着一家人团团圆圆。
这个节日的风俗很多,例如吃月饼,燃灯赏月等等苏。东坡曾写道:“小饼如嚼月,中有酥和馅。”可见从古代起,大家就很重视这节日了。
幼儿园时,我也开始重视这些节日了。中秋前一天,老师让大家做一个属于自己的独特灯笼。我们各个兴致勃勃拿起各种各样的工具加工自己的灯笼,有小兔灯,小熊灯,小狗灯等可爱又耐看的灯笼。
制作过程中,老师还讲述着关于中秋节的来源:“中秋节已经有着非常悠久的历史了,它与其余几个传统节日一样,都是慢慢形成的。古代帝王有春天祭日,秋天的礼制。早在《周礼》一书中就有“中秋”一词记载。后来也有贵人,文人学士仿效起来。李白这位诗人便是其中一员。对月亮祭拜这个习俗也就流传到明天而月下,游玩于许多中秋习俗,都是人们对生活无限热爱,对美好生活的向往。”那时的我怎么活听得懂呢?长大了看到这些话才觉得饶有趣味。
中秋那晚,我与家人们一起闲逛着。到了那条挂满五彩缤纷的灯笼的街上,我们漫步在这灯笼的世界里,细细观赏栩栩如生的玉兔灯,形象逼真的月亮灯。朴素古典的功能,各式各样的灯笼,造型优美美不胜收,令人眼花缭乱。那时年纪还小,也不太讲究,只是把灯挂在了高处。在灯光的映衬下,一个个灯笼活灵活现的。再加上我们细心设置的灯谜,这些灯笼也变得更加有趣。远望时如同星星一般,若隐若现,璀璨夺目。
荡悠了许久,我们才恋恋不舍地离开了这条灯火通明的街道。
长大了,再回想起这些往事,不禁笑出了声。

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. It is a traditional festival in China. On this day, there is the custom of eating moon cakes and enjoying the full moon. This evening, our family after dinner, went to Yingze Park to enjoy the moon.
To Yingze park, I saw a lot of people, and many children, so I played with my friends. When we were having a good time, suddenly my mother shouted: "Come and see the moon!" Heard the shouts, I immediately ran to my mothers side, in the direction of my mothers fingers to look, only to see a bright moon rising from the east, the moon exposed half a big red face, the face increased from time to time, while the moon all exposed, constantly rising to the sky. The moon was so big, round and bright that it was beautiful.
The children danced and sang in the light of the moon. The adults were also talking about the things in life, their faces from time to time showing a happy mood, and there was a burst of laughter in the park. As the moon rose high in the sky and drifted westward, the people in the park began to leave. My father and mother and I also walked to the gate of the park, looking at the moon in the sky, I was very reluctant to leave, thinking that this is how wonderful a night, really unforgettable.
今天是中秋节,也就是农历八月十五,是我国的传统节日,在这一天各地都有吃月饼赏月的习俗。这一天晚上,我们全家吃过晚饭后,就去迎泽公园赏月。
到了迎泽公园我看到有很人很多,还有许多小朋友,于是我就和小伙伴玩了起来。正当我们玩得高兴时,突然妈妈喊月月:“快来看月亮吧!”听到喊声,我就立即跑到妈妈身边,朝着妈妈手指的方向看去,只看见一轮明月从东方升起,月亮露出了半个大红脸,脸不时地增大,一会儿月亮全部露出来了,不断地升向天空。月亮又大、又圆、又亮真是漂亮极了。
小朋友们在月亮的光下又是跳舞,又是唱歌尽情地玩耍着。大人们也在谈论着生活中的事情,脸上不时的露出快乐的心情,公园里传出一阵笑声。月亮升到高空,渐渐向西偏去,这时公园里的人渐渐地离去。我和爸爸、妈妈也向公园门口走去,望着天空的月亮,我很不愿意离开,心里想这是多么美好的夜晚,真令人难忘。

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, Autumn Festival, Autumn Festival, began in the early Tang Dynasty, popular in the Song Dynasty, to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, has become one of the Chinese traditional festivals with the Spring Festival. Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has the custom of offering sacrifices to the moon, appreciating the moon, worshipping the moon, eating moon cakes, appreciating osmanthus flowers, drinking osmanthus wine and so on. Mid-Autumn Festival to the full moon reunion of people, as the sustenance of missing home, missing loved ones.
I dont know so much when I was a child, only know that the Mid-Autumn Festival, grandma will put a small table in the yard, on the table on the moon cake, a variety of fruits, lotus root, peanuts, water chestnut and a bowl of water, I always curious to ask grandma, why also put a bowl of water, do Chang e thirsty, will come to my home to drink? Grandma mysteriously said: "This is the moon of the water, drink will not wet the bed," so this bowl of water is always I secretly drink, make grandma laugh.
When I watched the moon with my family in the yard, I looked at the big and round moon and always thought: Is there really a moon palace on this moon? Is there really a Chang e? Is there really a lovely jade rabbit? Is there really an endless osmanthus tree that Wu Gang is chopping down? I really want to see the moon with my own eyes one day, now I firmly believe that there will be such a day, for that day I must study hard.
I think whether it is Zhang Jiulings "moonlight on the sea, the end of the world at this time", or Su Shis "I hope people for a long time, a thousand miles of total moon", all express the same meaning, that is, I hope to be reunited in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I would like to be with my family every day, like moon cakes, sweet and round.
中秋节又称月夕、秋节、仲秋节,始于唐朝初年,盛行于宋朝,至明清时,已成为与春节齐名的中国传统节日之一。中秋节自古便有祭月、赏月、拜月、吃月饼、赏桂花、饮桂花酒等习俗,流传至今,经久不息。中秋节以月之圆兆人之团圆,为寄托思念故乡,思念亲人之情。
小时候的我可不知道这么多,只知道中秋节的时候,外婆就会在院子里放张小桌子,在桌子上摆上月饼、各种水果、莲藕、花生、菱角和一碗水,我总是好奇的问外婆,为什么还要放一碗水,难道嫦娥渴了,会来我家喝水吗?外婆神秘地说:“这是祭了月亮的水,喝了就不会尿床了”,于是这碗水总是被我偷偷喝掉,弄得外婆哭笑不得。
我跟家人在院子里赏月的时候,看着那又大又圆的月亮,总是在想:这月亮上真的有个广寒宫?真的有个嫦娥?真的有可爱的玉兔?真的有那吴刚在砍砍不完的桂花树吗?真想有一天能到月亮上亲眼看一看,现在我坚信会有那么一天的,为了那一天我一定要好好学习。
我想无论是张九龄的“海上生明月,天涯共此时”,还是苏轼的“但愿人长久,千里共婵娟”,都表达了同一个意思,就是希望能在中秋节人月两团圆,而我则更希望每天都和我的家人在一起,像月饼一样甜甜蜜蜜、团团圆圆。

The annual Mid-Autumn Festival is coming again. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the four traditional festivals in China. The Mid-Autumn Festival means that the family will be together in the evening to eat moon cakes and enjoy the full moon. Because my relatives live close to each other, so we all go to grandmas house for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the morning, after we had breakfast, my grandmother and I went to the cake shop to buy moon cakes. There were so many people at the shop door
Aaargh! Everyone is choosing mooncakes. After grandma bought the moon cake, we came to Grandmas house, and our relatives also arrived.
In the evening, the sky was not perfect, and the moon was not in sight. We had to eat moon cakes in the living room, while watching the Mid-Autumn evening party. In the meantime, we also made a funny game called idiom Solitay. The rule is that each person does not take more than two minutes to answer the idiom, the timeout is counted as failure, and the loser is punished with a glass of water. At first, everyone picked it up quickly, but after that, I was a little out of tricks, so I didnt stop drinking water and went to the bathroom a lot.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is different every year, and this years Mid-Autumn Festival has a different flavor!
一年一度的中秋节又来临了。中秋节是中国四大传统节曰之一,中秋节的含义是中秋团团圆圆,还有一个习俗就是晚上一家人一起吃月饼,赏月。由于我家的亲戚住得都比较近,所以,都到姥姥家过中秋节。
早上,我们吃过早饭,我和外婆到蛋糕店买月饼。到了商店门口一看人真多
啊!大家都在挑选月饼。外婆买好月饼后,我们来了到了姥姥家,亲戚们也都到了。
到了晚上,天公不作美,看不到月亮。大家只好在客厅里边吃月饼,边看中秋晚会。其间我们还做了个搞笑的游戏叫成语接龙。规则是每人接成语的时不超过两分钟,超时算失败,失败者罚喝一杯水。开始大家都接得很快,可之后我就有点黔驴技穷的感觉了,为此我可没少喝水,上了很多次卫生间。
每年的中秋节各有不同,今年的中秋节又别有一番风味!

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a variety of ways, and with strong local characteristics.
Guangdong Chaoshan has the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival worship, mainly women and children, there is a "men are not full moon, women do not sacrifice the stove" common proverb. In the evening, the bright moon rises, the women will set a prayer in the courtyard and on the balcony. Silver candles burned high, cigarettes curled, and the table was filled with good fruit and bread as a sacrifice. There are local Mid-Autumn Festival eating taro habits, Chaoshan has a common saying: "river stream mouth, taro children to eat." In August, it is the harvest time of taro, and farmers are used to worship their ancestors with taro. Although this is related to farming, there is also a widespread folk legend: in 1279, the Mongolian aristocrats destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and established the Yuan Dynasty, which carried out a brutal rule over the Han people. Ma Fa defended Chaozhou against Yuan, after the city was destroyed, the people were slaughtered. In order not to forget the bitter rule of the Hu people, later generations took taro and "Hu head" homophonic, and shaped like a human head, in order to pay tribute to the ancestors, from generation to generation, and still exist today.
Nanjing people like to eat mooncakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival, must eat the famous dish of Jinling osmanthus duck. Osmanthus duck "in the time of the fragrance of osmanthus, fat but not greasy, delicious taste. Drink will eat a small sugar taro, poured with cinnamon pulp, beautiful not to be said." Cinnamon pulp, a sugar osmanthus flower, picked around the Mid-Autumn Festival, with sugar and sour plum pickling. Jiangnan women are skillful, the chant in the poem, into the table delicacies. Nanjing people enjoy the full moon called "celebrating reunion", sit together to drink called "full moon", travel markets called "walking moon".
On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Ji an County, Jiangxi Province, POTS are burned with straw in every village. When the pot is red, add the vinegar. Then there will be fragrance wafting through the village. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in Xincheng County, the grass lantern is hung from the night of August 11 until August 17.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I hope this year in the autumn moon more round, more bright, more pray for my relatives more healthy, my hometown more beautiful, rich; Also from the heart to hope that the motherland more prosperous and prosperous.
中秋节的过法是多种多样,并带有浓厚的地方特色。
广东潮汕有中秋拜月的习俗,主要是妇女和小孩,有"男不圆月,女不祭灶"的俗谚。晚上,皓月初升,妇女们便在院子里、阳台上设案当空祷拜。银烛高燃,香烟缭绕,桌上还摆满佳果和饼食作为祭礼。当地还有中秋吃芋头的习惯,潮汕有俗谚:"河溪对嘴,芋仔食到"。八月间,正是芋的收成时节,农民都习惯以芋头来祭拜祖先。这虽然与农事有关,但民间还有一则流传广泛的传说:1279年,蒙古贵族灭了南宋,建立元朝,对汉人进行了残酷的统治。马发据守潮州抗元,城破后,百姓惨遭屠杀。为了不忘胡人统治之苦,后人就取芋头与"胡头"谐音,且形似人头,以此来祭奠祖先,历代相传,至今犹存。
南京人中秋爱吃月饼外,必吃金陵名菜桂花鸭。"桂花鸭"于桂子飘香之时应市,肥而不腻,味美可口。酒后必食一小糖芋头,浇以桂浆,美不待言。"桂浆",取名自屈原《楚辞·少司命》"援北方闭兮酌桂浆"。桂浆,一名糖桂花,中秋前后采摘,用糖及酸梅腌制而成。江南妇女手巧,把诗中的咏物,变为桌上佳肴。南京人合家赏月称"庆团圆",团坐聚饮叫"圆月",出游街市称"走月"。
江西省吉安县在中秋节的傍晚,每个村都用稻草烧瓦罐。待瓦罐烧红后,再放醋进去。这时就会有香味飘满全村。新城县过中秋时,自八月十一夜起就悬挂通草灯,直至八月十七日止。
中秋节就要到了,我希望今年的中秋月更圆、更明,更祈望我的亲人愈加健康、我的家乡愈加美丽、富饶;也从内心起期望祖国更加繁荣、昌盛。

The 15th day of the eighth lunar month is the traditional Chinese festival - Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a reunion festival.
It is said that the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival has a beautiful legend: it is said that Hou Yi, who shot the sun, sought the elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West. One day Chang e took advantage of Yis absence to steal the elixir and became a fairy and flew to the moon palace. She is very lonely, with only one jade rabbit accompanying her all the year round. After that, Houyi missed her very much, and every August 15th night, he looked at the moon in the sky and took out a moon cake to commemorate her. This custom continues to this day.
On August 15 this year, my father bought many flavors of mooncakes, including cantaloupe, peach, black sesame... Our family in the moonlight while eating moon cakes, while enjoying the moon, I seem to see Chang e dancing.
After August 15 every year became our Chinese national reunion festival.
农历八月十五是我国传统的节日——中秋节,这是一个团圆的节日。
听说中秋节的来历有一段美丽的传说:据说射日有功的后羿从西王母那里求来了长生不老的灵药。有一天嫦娥趁后羿不在家把灵药偷吃了,变成了神仙飞到月宫里。她十分寂寞,常年陪伴她的仅有一只玉兔。之后后羿很想念她,每年的八月十五夜晚看着天上的明月就拿出月饼来纪念她。这种习俗一向延续到今日。
今年的八月十五爸爸买了许多口味的月饼,有哈密瓜味的、桃子味的、黑芝麻的……我们一家在月光下一边吃月饼,一边赏月,我仿佛看到了嫦娥在翩翩起舞。
之后每年八月十五成了我们中华民族的团圆节日。

In addition to mooncakes, a variety of seasonal fresh and dried fruits are also delicacies in the autumn night.
One of the origins of the Mid-Autumn Festival is that the 15th day of the eighth lunar month happens to be the time when rice is ripe and families worship the earth god. The Mid-Autumn Festival may be a relic of the autumn newspaper.
In the autumn night, in addition to worship, there are moon cakes and lanterns for the festival. Of course, the worship is in the sky Chang e, also known as the moon mother. The old man said that children should not point at the moon, or they will cut off their ears.

Through the ages, people regard mooncakes as a symbol of good luck and reunion. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon in the sky, family reunion, cake and moon, talk, enjoy the joy of family.
中秋节时,云稀雾少,月光皎洁明亮,民间除了要举行赏月、祭月、吃月饼祝福团圆等一系列活动,有些地方还有舞草龙,砌宝塔等活动。除月饼外,各种时令鲜果干果也是中秋夜的美食。
中秋节的起源,其中的一个说法是:农历八月十五这一天恰好是稻子成熟的时刻,各家都拜土地神。中秋可能就是秋报的遗俗。
中秋夜,除了拜祭、还有就是应节的月饼和灯笼。祭拜的当然是在天上的嫦娥,也有人称她为月娘。老人家说,小孩子不可以用手指指月亮,要不然会被割耳朵。
时至今天,中秋的原意也已经没有多少人知道,对于新的一代来说,中秋节最令人月饼象征着团圆,是中秋佳节必食之品。在节日之夜,人们还爱吃些西瓜、水果等团圆的果品,祈祝家人生活美满、甜蜜、平安。
月饼,又称胡饼、宫饼、小饼、月团、团圆饼等,是古代中秋祭拜月神的供品,沿传下来,便形成了中秋吃月饼的习俗。
中秋吃月饼,和端午吃粽子、元宵节吃汤圆一样,是我国民间的传统习俗。古往今来,人们把月饼当作吉祥、团圆的象征。每逢中秋,皓月当空,阖家团聚,品饼赏月,谈天说地,尽享天伦之乐。

Every year on the 15th of August in the lunar calendar, it is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Because this time is the middle of autumn of the year, it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is also the second largest traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as "Midautumn Festival", "chasing the Moon Festival", "Reunion Festival". It is a traditional cultural festival popular among many ethnic groups in the country. On this night, people look up at the sky like a jade plate of the Lang Lang moon, naturally will look forward to family reunion. Even the wanderers who are far away from home also use it to express their missing feelings for their relatives in their hometown.
Some people say that the moon is closest to the Earth on this night, and the moon is the largest and brightest. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there is the custom of feasting and enjoying the moon, in order to symbolize the meaning of perfection and auspiciousness. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, people put flowers, vegetables, moon cakes. To commemorate the goddess Chang e in the fairy tale.
Mooncakes symbolize reunion and are a must for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mooncakes also have a history. According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, General Li Jing won the battle against Hungary on August 15 and returned in triumph. At that time, Turpan, a businessman, offered cakes to the Tang emperor to congratulate him on his victory. Gaozu Li Yuan took the gorgeous cake box, took out a round cake, smiling pointed to the sky moon said: "should be Hu cake invited toad." Then he divided the cake among the ministers to eat.
Since then, the production of mooncakes has become more sophisticated. Su Dongpo wrote a poem: "Small cakes such as chewing moon, there is crisp and Yi." Mooncakes are indeed very popular in our country.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is really an informative festival.
每年的农历八月十五日,是我国传统的中秋佳节。因为这个时候是一年秋季的中期,所以被称为中秋。这也是我国仅次于春节的第二大传统节日。
中秋节又被称为“仲秋节”,“追月节”,“团圆节”。是流行于全国众多民族中的传统文化节日。此夜,人们仰望天空如玉盘的朗朗明月,自然就会期盼家人团聚。就连远在他乡的游子,也借以寄托自己对故乡的亲人的思念之情。
有人说,此夜月球距地球最近,月亮最大最亮。所以,从古至今,都有饮宴赏月的习俗,以寓圆满,吉庆之意。每逢中秋节,人们就摆着花果,蔬菜,月饼。为了纪念神话故事里的嫦娥。
月饼象征着团圆,是中秋佳节的必食之品。月饼也是有来历的。相传,唐高祖年间,大将军李靖在八月十五征讨匈得胜,凯旋回归。当时,有经商的吐鲁番向唐朝皇帝献饼祝捷。高祖李渊接过华丽的饼盒,拿出圆饼,笑指空中明月说:“应将胡饼邀蟾蜍。”说完把饼分给群臣一起吃。
从此以后,月饼的制作越来越考究。苏东坡有诗写道:“小饼如嚼月,中有酥和饴。”月饼在我国的确大受欢迎。
中秋节真是一个富有知识性的节日啊。

My favorite is egg yolk moon cake. It is not as sweet as fruit moon cake, nor as greasy as ham moon cake. It is a little salty, fragrant and soft. I heard my mother told a story. When my mother was young, she and my aunt turned over the moon cake that my grandmother had prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but my mother couldnt stop eating it During the holiday, my grandmother discovered that some of the mooncakes had been stolen. She asked who stole them, but she didnt admit any of them. As a result, my aunt was also punished by my grandmother. We are not as worried about food and clothing as we used to be.

After applying oil, sprinkle the red yeast, fragrant beans, and turmeric ingredients onto the dough separately. Roll the dough layer by layer into strips and make a pulp. Wrap a layer of white dough on the outermost layer, and some even use colored dough on the dough of large mooncakes to create the shape of frogs, snakes, or flowers and birds.

Sitting or lying on the soft grass, some of us chat happily and others listen to music. And amidst shouts and laughter of children chasing around excitedly, I sit quietly at a corner watching the bright, beautiful moon.
农历八月十五是中秋节,是中国最传统的节日之一。它有几百年的历史,许多关于它的美丽故事代代相传。在这一天,我们吃一种特殊的糕点叫月饼——它代表月亮,也意味着家庭团聚。
8月15日晚上,我们家会聚在新公园举行一个月光下的小型聚会,这一直是我们家的惯例。堂兄弟姐妹和一些朋友有时会加入我们。
坐在或躺在柔软的草地上,我们中的一些人愉快地聊天,其他人听音乐。在孩子们兴奋地追逐着的欢声笑语中,我静静地坐在一个角落里,看着明亮美丽的月亮。
范文22
Mid-autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals for Chinese people, which even occupies the same position with Spring Festival.
It is said that the festival originated from a love story. A man with great strength shot nine suns and left only one, while his wife ate the pills by curious heart. At last, she flied to the moon and had to be separated with her lover. Nowadays, the meaning of Mid-autumn festival is to let the families get together and enjoy the time to appreciate the full moon. My families always prepare for some snacks. When we finish the dinner, all the members will come to the balcony and sit down, appreciating the full moon.
We talk and enjoy the chatting hour. I have a good time with my families.
中秋节是中国人最重要的节日之一,甚至与春节处于同等地位。
据说这个节日源于一个爱情故事。一个强壮的男人射了九个太阳,只留下一个,而他的妻子却怀着好奇的心吃了这些药丸。最后,她飞到了月球上,不得不和她的爱人分开。如今,中秋节的意义是让家人聚在一起,享受赏月的时光。我的家人总是准备一些零食。当我们吃完晚饭时,所有的成员都会来到阳台上坐下,欣赏满月。
我们聊天,享受聊天时间。我和家人相处得很愉快。
