The moon is round and the moon is clear. The Mid-Autumn Festival we have been looking forward to has finally arrived. Mother told us about some of the customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival - eating moon cakes, enjoying the moon, playing with lanterns... You may ask: "Why do these things for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Let me answer for you one by one. Let's go.

The mooncakes are eaten in the Mid-Autumn Festival to commemorate the hustle Legend has it that you eat the fairy medicine and fly to the moon to become a fairy. After I know it, I am very sad. He puts out the most favorite fruits and moon cakes and prays for peace. When the people knew it, they did it. Since then, the custom of eating moon cakes has spread.

Mid-Autumn Festival to enjoy the moon. After the thoughts, I looked at the moon and looked at you. People do the same, and this custom has spread to thousands of households.

Playing lanterns at Mid-Autumn Festival. Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the three major festivals in China. It is necessary to play lanterns during the festival. As early as in the Southern Song Dynasty "Wulin Old Things", the Mid-Autumn Night Festival was recorded, and there was an activity of putting a "Little Red" light into the river for drifting and playing. Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns are mostly concentrated in the south. As mentioned above, there are various kinds of lanterns at the autumn meeting of Foshan: sesame lamps, eggshell lamps, wood shaving lamps, straw lamps, fish scale lamps, chaff lamps, melon seed lamps and birds and beasts, etc. Marvel.

Legend has it that this custom is related to the rebellion against the Yuan soldiers. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people were ruled by blood, so the Han people resisted unyieldingly. The locals met with the Mid-Autumn Festival and ignited the top of the pagoda. Similar to the ignition of the peak fire station, although this resistance was suppressed, it left the custom of burning the pagoda. This legend has the same effect as the legend of eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

We also eat moon cakes on the rooftops of the Mid-Autumn Festival and play with lanterns. We sat on the roof and looked at the silvery white, like the silver moon, playing with the lantern. The light of the lantern is reflected in everyone's face, and it shines in my heart. The bright moonlight shines in everyone's eyes, and in my heart, a white spray is stirred up.

Mid-Autumn Festival, what a wonderful holiday! On that beautiful August 15th.
