When is the moon? Ask the wine to qingtian.
I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace?
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, on this day of family reunion, the wanderer who went out to work has embarked on the way home, and some friends who are strangers in a foreign land are looking forward to the moon. However, most Chinese families will gather together as a family to eat mooncakes and reunite.
Eating moon cakes is one of the important traditional customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and according to historical records, it has appeared as early as the Yin and Zhou dynasties:
Legend has it that in the Yin Shang period, there was a kind of round cake commemorating Taishi Wenzhong in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with a thin edge and a thick heart, which was called "Taishi cake" at that time, which was the "ancestor" of Chinese mooncakes.
During the reign of Gao Zu of the Tang Dynasty, mooncakes became the food of the Tang Dynasty army. It is said that on august 15, the great general Li Jing won the victory of the Xiongnu, and Gaozu Li Yuan led his courtiers out of the city to greet him. At that time, someone offered cakes to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to wish for victory, and Gaozu Li Yuan liked this round cake very much, so he took out the round cake in the gorgeous cake box, smiled at the bright moon in the air, and said: "You should invite the Hu cake to the toad", and after saying that, he gave the cake to the group of courtiers to eat together.
By the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, this kind of cake was called "palace cake", which was initially popular in the court and spread to the people, commonly known as "small cake" and "moon tuan". Later, it evolved into a circle, which symbolizes the beauty of reunion.
Since then, the production of "moon cakes" has become more and more elaborate, more varieties, and the large ones are like discs, which have become a good gift. Since then, the custom of eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people. Some places have also formed many special Mid-Autumn Festival customs.
In addition to the custom of eating moon cakes, the Mid-Autumn Festival also has customs such as viewing osmanthus flowers, drinking osmanthus wine, viewing the moon, sacrificing the moon, lighting lamps, worshiping rabbits and grandfathers, and some other places in China will also have some regional Mid-Autumn Festival customs.
With the development of the times, the current Mid-Autumn Festival is more diverse, and the previous emphasis is no longer so cumbersome, but the friendship is still sincere. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of family reunion and family rejoicing, which has become one of the four traditional festivals in China through generations.
