马上就是一年一度的中秋佳节了,中秋节是中国最隆重的节日之一,仅次于春节。所以,今天小编为大家简单介绍一下中秋节的由来及风俗!


中秋节的由来

中秋节由传统的“祭月”而来。在古代历法中,按季节分为孟月、仲月、季月三个月,农历八月是“仲秋”,而八月十五正好是秋天的二分之一,因此也被称为“中秋”,并渐渐变成了中秋节。

据《周礼》记载,农历八月中旬是秋粮收获之际,人们为了答谢神祗的护佑而举行一系列仪式和庆祝活动,称为“秋报”。后来祭月的成分便逐渐为赏月所替代,祭祀的色彩逐渐褪去,而这一节庆活动延续下来,并被赋予了新的含义。中秋节是秋季时令习俗的综合,其所包含的节俗因素,大都有着古老的渊源。

中秋的习俗

团圆

2023年的中秋节是9月29日,也就是中国传统农历的八月十五日。中秋节是一个赏月、家人团聚的节日,以月之圆兆人之团圆。在这一天,在外工作、学习的人们都会想方设法回到家乡,和亲人们一起团聚。


Mid-Autumn Festival(zhōng qiū jié) is a chinese traditional festival, and it falls on 29th, September this year, as we all know, chinese traditional festivals follow lunar calender, which is 15th, Augest. The significance of Mid-Autumn festival is: families get together, enjoy the full moon, and the full moon stands for "reunion".

祭月

"月"在中华传统文化中的象征意义十分丰富。人们向它寄托思念、表达对故乡和故人的怀念;而月亮本身安宁与静谧的情韵,创造出静与美的审美意境,引发了许多失意文人的空灵情怀。古人关于月的描述、诗词歌赋更是多不胜数,"月"成为文学中典型意向和永恒的主题。

"Yuè" means the"moon", the moon has lots of symbols in chinese traditional culture, like "beauty"、"chill"、"missing hometown and old friends", that's why we got so many poems about "moon".

吃月饼

月饼,又叫月团、丰收饼、宫饼、团圆饼等,是古代中秋祭拜月神的供品。

月饼象征着大团圆,吃月饼是中国南北各地过中秋节的必备习俗,中秋节这天人们都要吃月饼以示“团圆”。


Mooncake(yuè bǐng) is one of the traditional snacks in China, it's round just like the moon when it is in Mid-Autumn Festival, which also stands for "reunion". Actually, the shape "round" is important in chinese culture, it looks like tables (families can sit together), mooncakes (families can eat together), we would like to keep the relationship even after growing up, getting married.   

嫦娥

“嫦娥奔月”是经典的中华民间传统故事,相传嫦娥为后羿妻,后裔射下九个太阳后,从西王母处得长生不老药,置于家中。逢蒙是后羿的弟子,觊觎后羿的仙药,于是趁后羿不在时逼迫嫦娥交出不死丹药,嫦娥情急之下吞下了丹药,不多时便飘飘升仙了,后羿发现后非常痛心,在月下大声呼喊嫦娥的名字后,月亮之上果然出现了嫦娥的身影,于是后羿和百姓们便在中秋这天设案摆点心,遥祭嫦娥。

"Cháng é" is a character from a chinese traditional legend: cháng é is "hòu yì",a hero's wife, one day, he got an elixir which could make him longlive, but his student was jealous about that, he forced "cháng é" to give him the elixir, but "cháng é" refused and swallowed it, after that, she flew to the sky and became a fairy.

She was lonely living in the moon, so we would carry a table, put snacks and fruits which she liked to eat on, hoping to see her through the moon.
