Where Does the Autumn Equinox Come From?
The Autumn Equinox was once a traditional "Moon Worship Festival." The Mid-Autumn Festival now comes from the traditional "Moon Worship" on the Autumn Equinox. According to research, the "Moon Worship Festival" was originally set on the day of the Autumn Equinox, but since there was not always a full moon on that day, the "Moon Worship Festival" was later moved from the Autumn Equinox, one of the twenty-four solar terms, to the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.
