Mid -Autumn Festival

Text/Yang Zhouping

People from Guanzhong in Shaanxi called the Mid -Autumn Festival "August 15th". Naturally, the Mid -Autumn Festival is also called "August 15th". When my child mentioned, the most impressive impression of "August 15th" is to eat a sweet and delicious moon cake.

In the 1960s and 1970s, for most families, only the Mid -Autumn Festival can eat the moon cakes in the Mid -Autumn Festival. The Mid -Autumn Festival has just risen, and the mother first puts foods, grapes, apples and other foods in the plate, and then solemnly placed the plate on the wooden stool in the center of the yard. I have a word, and gives our sisters and brothers three saying that this is called the moon. At the end, I also told us the story of Chang'e. The plot was forgotten, and I only remember the name of Chang'e. Because I have always given the moon cakes and fruits in the plate, the rest of the matter is behind. It wasn't until the moon in the moon that the mother was willing to give the moon cake to our sister and brother one and a half. Let us eat it. I ate a small moon cake in a sway, and I did n’t taste it. Give me that taste, so far I still drool when I think of it.

I was greedy when I was a kid, with a large amount of meals, but my eyes were small. I remember on the night of my six -year -old Mid -Autumn Festival, after eating moon cakes after eating moon cakes, because it was the first time I ate wooden dates, and I usually did n’t eat any fruit. I swallowed one by one. When my throat was small again, I stuck in my throat. Suddenly, my face flushed, and I couldn't speak, just howling, sweat flowing out. The mother was frightened when she saw this. She was at a loss, and was in a hurry to pull me to find the village doctor. She took her hands and took her back with her back. The jujube spit out, it was a false alarm, my mother laughed, and I laughed too. With the lesson of "swallowing jujube" this time, I would never dare to enjoy a lot of food in the future. I remembered the Mid -Autumn Festival night that year, and my mother often gave people this story when she was alive, making me ashamed.

After reading and literacy, I know that the Mid -Autumn Festival is an important traditional festival. It not only has the myths and legends of the beautiful Chang'e running the moon and Wu Gangpu, but also know that in the lunar calendar, it is divided into four seasons a year, and the season is divided into Meng, Zhong, and season. Three parts, so Mid -Autumn Festival is also called Zhong Qiu. Since ancient times, my country has the habit of emperor spring festival day and autumn festival. The ancients believed that the moon represents the earth, and the sun represents the heavens. August is the harvest season. To thank the gift of the earth, this is the "autumn worship". The ancients also believed that the moon was the most round, brightest, clearer, and most beautiful in the day of August 15th. It is "sacrifice moon". As the so -called "one year's moonlight is the lowest, when people's hearts are appreciated."

Mid -Autumn Festival, once a year, classic and beautiful. It is the most classic moon in the Chinese nation. She is like a graceful and dignified ancient beauty. So far. How many emperors will watch her, how many literati, in Mo Ke chant her, and how many villagers worship her, generation for one year. She is the moon of the noble officials, and the moon of the civilians. No matter where you live, you will send you a strand of charming Qinghui, poetic and beautiful.

The earliest records of Mid -Autumn Festival in "Zhou Li" means the second month of autumn. Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Mid -Autumn Festival has become a fixed festival. It was very popular in the Song Dynasty, and it became a festival with New Year's Day during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Mid -Autumn Festival Moon Cake originated from the "Taishi Cake" made by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generation to commemorate the master of the Tai Shi Wen Zhong. During the Tang Dynasty, the folk had already engaged in the production of moon cake production. The cake shop in Changan, Beijing, has appeared. Because of walnut kernels as stuffing, it is named for calligraphy. It is said that Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei Mid -Autumn Festival night watching moon cakes when eating moon cakes is not good. Yang Guifei looked up at a bright bright moon and came out of the "moon cake" casually. The customs have also spread.

Later, I went to study in the field, and the living conditions continued to improve. It was not difficult to eat moon cakes. A total of the moon, a round and harmonious Mid -Autumn Festival with a round and harmonious Mid -Autumn Festival in the Mid -Autumn Festival.

Yes, the Mid -Autumn Festival is a round of reunion and romantic moon. "The moon is born on the sea, at this time," the poem of "Wang Yue Huaiyuan" of the Tang Dynasty Zhang Jiuling wrote the lingering and sadness of the loved ones to miss the loved ones in the distance. For thousands of years, how many people have been pinned on the Mid -Autumn Festival Night to miss their loved ones and the infinite wishes for reunion. Under the charming moonlight of the Mid -Autumn Festival, bite a bite of moon cakes, warm a bowl of hometown wine, thoughtful thoughts, felt the feelings, and the soul was sublimated.

Since 2008, the Mid -Autumn Festival has been listed as a national statutory holiday. At that time, I went out to travel with my family on the Mid -Autumn Festival holiday. The same circle, although there are many traffic jams on the way, the scenic spots are full of people, and the toilet must queue up in line, but I am grateful and fortunately to catch up with the good era, such as Mid -Autumn Festival, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival and other festivals. It is listed as a legal holiday by the country, and this has the opportunity and time to travel and commemorate the festival.

In fact, the original intention and significance of any festival setting is to teach people to be good, and they all pin their prayers for life with infinitely beautiful life, and the long -distance Mid -Autumn Festival is no exception. Life is not only the real of chai oil and salt, but also the embellishment of the sense of festive ritual. It is like a person who needs to eat the taste satisfaction and the spiritual enjoyment of art. Today, I have experienced more than 50 Mid -Autumn Festival. Nowadays, all kinds of moon cakes and fruits of the Mid -Autumn Festival are rich, but because of the "three highs" of the body, I dare not eat more. Life is often the case. There is a saying in "Lao Guanzhong": "There is no pot helmet when there is a teeth, and there is no teeth when there is a pot helmet." Everyone is eager to reunite and perfect, but "this matter is difficult". The lack of regret is the real bottom of life Color is the most beautiful.

May every Mid -Autumn Festival spend a good moon; I hope everyone can have more completeness.
