It is a good wish to relatives... For thousands of years, times are changing, and the Mid-Autumn Festival The emotional core has never changed.

　　Appreciating folk customs: moon watching and tide watching are all "famous scenes"

　　The custom of admiring and worshiping the moon has existed since ancient times.

"Book of Rites" records, "The emperor's spring is the sun, the autumn is the moon".

Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the court has had a moon sacrifice ceremony.

　　In the Tang Dynasty, Mid-Autumn Festival officially became a festival.

Tang Xuanzong ordered his subordinates to build a hundred feet high platform to enjoy the moon.

Legend has it that he sleeps in the Moon Palace and woke up to compose "Neon Clothes and Feathers", which is full of "artistic style".

　　In the Song Dynasty, which was famous for its elegance, in addition to admiring the moon, "playing the moon" increased the entertainment of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

　　"Tokyo Menghualu" records, "Your family decorates the terraces, and the folks fight to occupy the restaurant to play the moon", which is very lively; children also have reasons to "stay up all night" to play, "Luli children, play in the night. The night market, as for the master" .

　　In addition to spending the night, the lanterns are also "standard."

"Old Wu Lin" wrote, "Hundreds of thousands of small ice lanterns with'a little bit of red' sheepskin will be placed on the surface of the water, as bright as stars."

Until now, in Guangzhou and other places, there is a custom of "Vertical Mid-Autumn Festival". People put colorful lanterns on high places, which has become a unique landscape.

　　Tide watching is also a major event of the Mid-Autumn Festival, especially the tide of the Qiantang River is the most spectacular.

The Southern Song Dynasty Zhou Mi’s "Watching the Tide" wrote: “Fang Qiyuan went out to the sea like a silver thread; as he approached, the snow ridge of Yucheng came from the sky.”

People dressed up to watch the tide, just as Su Dongpo said: "Lai Youming sees the tide, and thousands of people fight for new makeup."

Today, the Qiantang River tide has formed a unique "tide" culture, which attracts a large number of tourists every year.

　　Enjoy food: moon cakes, crabs "patted" you

　　Maybe you didn't drink the first cup of milk tea in autumn, but in the Mid-Autumn Festival, you should eat the first moon cake.

As a representative of the Mid-Autumn Festival, moon cakes have only become popular since the Song Dynasty.

Su Dongpo wrote: "Small biscuits are like chewing the moon, and there are crisps and sweets in them", and they carry out the ability to "bring goods."

　　During the Ming and Qing dynasties, "the folks used moon cakes to give birth to reunion," and the moon cakes have improved from filling to "value".

Yang Guangfu of the Qing Dynasty wrote: "Mooncakes are filled with peach mince", and the bakers also printed mythical stories such as Chang'e flying to the moon on the surface of the cake.

　　With the development of the times, the types of moon cakes have become more abundant. The more common ones are Cantonese-style mooncakes, Soviet-style mooncakes, and Beijing-style mooncakes.

Although moon cakes are divided into north and south and the dispute between salt and sweetness, the meaning of reunion represented by moon cakes has always been the meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

　　The Mid-Autumn Festival food is not just the mooncakes that stand out.

As the saying goes, on August 15th, chrysanthemum yellow crab fat and crab tasting is also a favorite of many people.

　　With a stroke of his pen, Li Bai wrote "Crab claws are gold liquid, and bad hills are Penglai", trying his best to "Amway" the delicacy of crabs; modern writer Liang Shiqiu wrote: "Eat three-two fat crabs, smell the fragrance of chrysanthemum in the garden, the joy of life Too much".

　　In August, there is the fragrance of chrysanthemum and sweet-scented osmanthus.

Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs" wrote, "Aid the Beidou and drink osmanthus syrup", and "gui syrup" is the earliest sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

The Qing Dynasty also records that in the Mid-Autumn Festival of August, “Shipin” drinks “Osmanthus Oriental Wine”.

　　In addition to making wine, sweet-scented osmanthus can also make a variety of delicacies, such as sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, which is popular in Jiangnan area.

The family gathered around to taste sweet-scented osmanthus wine and glutinous rice lotus root, and the festive atmosphere arose.

　　Hope for reunion: a kind of yearning in different time and space

　　The Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the "Reunion Festival". Therefore, reunion is an eternal theme chanted by countless literati.

　　Li Bai chicly "toasted to the bright moon to invite the bright moon, facing the shadow of three people", and regarded the moon as his confidant; "lifting his head to look at the bright moon, bowing his head to think about his hometown", he also wrote homesickness in a few words.

　　This night, the poet expressed "I miss you" in various ways.

Du Fu wrote a love poem for his wife, "When will I lean on the emptiness, the tears will be dry in double photos"; Bai Juyi also told his friend Yuan Zhen that "the crescent moonlight in the three or five nights, the heart of the old man two thousand miles away".

　　Of course, if you are good at writing the month, Su Dongpo is definitely on the list.

A song called "Shui Tiao Song Tou When Does the Moon Have" merges thinking about the universe and life to become the most "out of circle" work, and is even adapted into a popular song by "Hou Lang".

　　Affected by Chinese culture, other countries are also sharing the same moon and celebrating the same festival.

　　In Malaysia, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the most important Chinese festival besides the Spring Festival. There will be a lantern parade, singing and dancing, and it is very lively. In Japan, the Mid-Autumn Festival is called "Moonmi", and people eat rice dumplings and hold various celebrations. Activities: In South Korea, family members get together to taste sponge cakes, worship ancestors, dance together, and enjoy the moon.
