The Mid-Autumn Festival is a colorful and precious cultural heritage. The full moon is a symbol of people's reunion, a sustenance for missing their hometown and relatives, and hopes for a bumper harvest and happiness. The following is a short article I shared with you to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. I hope it helps you.
On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, I get together with my family, eat sweet moon cakes and look at the big round moon. The moon tonight is big and round, hanging in the sky like a curtain, like a big jade plate. The moon is reflected on the water, which makes people think that the moon really fell into the water. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, my mind couldn't help asking a few questions. Why do families get together on Mid-Autumn Festival? Why eat moon cakes? Are there any other customs in Mid-Autumn Festival?
At night, the full moon rises, and a piece of peace shines on the earth with the silver moonlight. We arranged moon cakes, peanuts, grapefruit and other fruits in front of the courtyard early to prepare for the "Yue Bai" activity. After the worship, the whole family enjoyed the moon together and ate out. Watching the moon is an adult's business. We won't just sit there and enjoy the moon, but chase and play in the bright moonlight. This is our paradise. Eating is a bit fastidious, and the elders often let everyone eat these sacrifices for the moon god first. My mother told me that in China's sacrificial culture, there is a tradition that after God enjoys the sacrifice, worshippers often divide it up, thus ending the whole sacrificial ceremony. We share the process of eating, on the one hand, to understand the blessing of the moon god, on the other hand, to perfect the traditional sacrificial culture. Meixian people say that eating these sacrifices is more "good" and blessed, and it will be more auspicious.
It's already midnight, and the tired moon is resting in the clouds, leaving only a few stars as if watching. We ate grapefruit in the yard. My mother peeled grapefruit and said, "Eating grapefruit is also necessary. For example, cutting grapefruit is called' killing grapefruit', which means exorcism. Some people also say that peeling grapefruit skin is' peeling ghost skin', which reflects the desire to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters. "
On this Mid-Autumn Festival night, I not only eat moon cakes to enjoy the moon, but also know some customs about the Mid-Autumn Festival. For example, why eat moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival!
Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival Today is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. I am really happy, because we are going to visit Nanzhuang in Miaoli with our cousins, and so on. In order to meet on time, the whole family got up early. I was surprised when we arrived at our destination. I'm so happy, my cousin is already waiting for us.
First, let's climb Tianmen Mountain together. The mountain is so steep that we are tired after a few steps. In order to reduce fatigue, we have been chatting. Halfway up the mountain, there is a nine-day Xuan Nv Temple, and the people inside are really a sea of people! But we were still attracted by the ice cream next to us, so we ate ice cream and watched the child molestation. Their movements are really interesting. After the activity, my mother asked me to drink some fairy water and said, "It will keep me safe and cure all diseases!" "I really hope so.
Time flies, and lunch is coming soon. We finished lunch quickly and began to play. It wasn't long before my uncle found a clear stream and we followed. My uncle took the lead in taking off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs and everyone began to take them off. We jumped up and down on the rocks, chasing and catching fish and crabs in the stream ... suddenly my cousin fell down, and the whole person fell into the water, and his clothes were wet. It's really like a drowned rat. So we came up with an idea, began to splash water, splashing water everywhere, and finally all of them were soaked, and happy laughter filled the river.
Next, we will go to the hot springs. The hot springs here are very special in shape. For example, some models are like rivers, some floors are hot, some are covered with stones to stimulate our feet, and some waterfalls can be used as spas. Very charming, soaking in comfortable hot springs, drinking cool health tea and playing fun games make people want to stay here forever. In addition, there is a small green hill outside. We ran around the grassland and rolled down the mountain ... it was really crazy.
Who said that the Mid-Autumn Festival must be barbecued? I think interesting things like this are my best memories. I really hope the next Mid-Autumn Festival will be more interesting.
Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon on August 15 is rounder and brighter than the full moon in other months, so it is also called "moonlit night" and "August Festival". On the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, people try to reunite with their families, which means bimonthly. August 15 is also called "Reunion Festival".
My family and I watched the moon on the balcony. The rising moon is shining brightly. The moon is bright and bright, and slowly, slowly turns white. Moonlight quietly sprinkled on the ground, the whole world was covered with a layer of silver light, and the town was like a thin layer of silver gauze. The moon went through the clouds and sprinkled its light on the road, which seemed to be paved with silver. It also reflects the moonlight on the water, and the river is sparkling when it is windy at night.
The moon is like a shy little girl, hiding in the clouds for a while, and sticking out her lovely little head from the clouds for a while, soaking the earth into dreamy silver gray. Looking at the moon, I can't help thinking of the story of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon. It is to commemorate Chang 'e that August 15 is designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people are looking forward to reunion. This also reminds me of a famous poem: there is such bright light at the foot of my bed, is there frost already? . I looked up at the moon and looked down, feeling nostalgic. This poem shows the poet Li Bai's homesickness. It reminds me from time to time that soldiers stationed in the frontier can't reunite with their families on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the Song Dynasty, the folk Mid-Autumn Festival became more prosperous. According to "Tokyo Dream", there is such a description of the grand occasion of enjoying the moon in Kyoto in the Northern Song Dynasty. "On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, your family decorated pavilions, people competed for restaurants, played on the moon and sang, and I heard it all the way. I sat together until dawn." "New Notes on Drunken Weng" records: "Children of Qingcheng people can go to the twelfth and thirteenth, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, all dressed as adults. They go upstairs or in Yue Bai in the atrium, each with its own period: men are willing to go to themoon early and climb Xiangui; Women want to look like Chang 'e and round like the bright moon. "
Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, the model essay is full in April and bright in the moon. The Mid-Autumn Festival that we have been looking forward to has finally arrived. Mother told us some customs of Mid-Autumn Festival-eating moon cakes, enjoying the moon and playing with lanterns ... You may ask, "Why do these things on Mid-Autumn Festival?" Let me answer you.
Eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival is to commemorate Chang 'e. It is said that Chang 'e ate fairy medicine and flew to the moon to become a fairy. Hou Yi was very sad when he learned that. He laid out Chang 'e's favorite fruits and moon cakes and prayed for Chang 'e's safety. After the people knew it, they did it one after another. Since then, the custom of eating moon cakes has spread.
Enjoy the moon in Mid-Autumn Festival. It was Hou Yi who missed Chang 'e and looked at the moon, and people did the same. This custom spread to thousands of households.
Play with lanterns on Mid-Autumn Festival. Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the three major Lantern Festival in China, so we should play with lanterns in festivals. As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, it was recorded in the Story of the Old Wulin that the Mid-Autumn Festival was a custom, and there was an activity of putting the "Little Red" lamp into the river to drift and play. Lantern playing in Mid-Autumn Festival is mostly concentrated in the south. For example, the autumn festival in Foshan mentioned earlier has all kinds of colorful lights: sesame lights, eggshell lights, wood shavings lights, straw lights, fish scales lights, chaff lights, melon seeds lights, birds, animals, flowers and trees lights, which are amazing.
Legend has it that this custom is related to the righteous act of resisting the Yuan soldiers. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people were subjected to bloody rule, so the Han people made unyielding resistance, held meetings in various places to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and lit trumpets on the top floor of the pagoda. Similar to the fire on the platform at the top of the mountain, although this resistance was suppressed, the custom of burning pagodas remained. This legend is similar to the legend of eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we also eat moon cakes and play with lanterns on the roof. We sat on the roof, watching the silvery moon and playing with lanterns. The light of lanterns is reflected on everyone's face and in my heart. The bright moonlight shines in everyone's eyes and stirs up white waves in my heart.
Mid-Autumn Festival, what a beautiful festival! On that beautiful August 15.
Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. My favorite thing is to eat moon cakes! Moon cakes are round and square, but thick and flat, like drums, with exquisite patterns on them. However, last Mid-Autumn Festival, I ate a different kind of moon cake.
It happened that my mother came back from a business trip in Beijing and brought back the old specialty of Beijing: natural red and natural white moon cakes. They are a little smaller than ordinary moon cakes, round and bulging, with this red dot on them, which really opened my eyes. Looking at it, I feel deja vu.
I saw in the TV series Legend of Wulin that a rich man asked Li Dazui, the cook of Tongfu Inn, to make a box of "innovative, atmospheric and unique" moon cakes for him as a gift to Louzhi County. Li Dazui racked his brains and finally succeeded after several failed experiments! So, invite the rich man to accept it. After seeing the beautifully packaged moon cakes, the rich man commented, "This kind of moon cakes is unique in the world of moon cakes! But in the steamed bread world, he is all over the street! ! ! "At some point, the rich man knocked over the mooncake box angrily. This let me finally see the long-awaited "innovative, atmospheric and unique" moon cake, only to see it: round, white, bulging, with a little red on it! This is simply a steamed bread! I can't help laughing!
While enjoying the Mid-Autumn Festival party and tasting the unique moon cakes, I suddenly found that the innovative moon cakes made by Li Dazui had been a specialty of old Beijing more than 100 years ago!
While eating and thinking, I finally understood that what my classmate said was very reasonable: "Stop looking down on yourself. As far as I am concerned, I will be shocked if I change places casually! "
Maybe I am not the best today, but I will be the best tomorrow! Why should you look down on yourself?
Thanks for the unique Mid-Autumn Festival brought by steamed bread and moon cakes!
