According to textual research, the original "Moon Festival" was set on the day of "Autumn Equinox", but there is not always a full moon because of the different days of August in the lunar calendar every year. And the moon without the moon is a big spoil the fun. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival was later transferred from the Equinox to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

According to historical records, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, ancient emperors had the custom of offering sacrifices to the sun at the vernal equinox, to the earth at the summer solstice, to the moon at the autumnal equinox, and to heaven at the winter solstice. Its places of worship are called Ritan, Ditan, Yuetan and Tiantan. It is located in four directions: southeast and northwest. So far, there are many historical sites in China, such as Yue Bai Altar, Moon Pavilion and Moon Tower. The folk custom of offering sacrifices to the moon varies from region to region.

"The Year of China in Beijing" records the custom of offering sacrifices to the moon in Beijing, saying: "On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, people set up the symbol of the Moon Palace, and rabbits stood on it like people; Chen Guaguo was in court; The cake surface is painted with the moon palace toad rabbit; Men and women worship incense and burn it. " There is also a special custom of offering sacrifices to the moon in Beijing, that is, "Men don't offer sacrifices to the moon, but worship more", that is, as the folk proverb says, "Men don't Yue Bai".
