He said that the Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the activities of ancient autumn festivals to worship the gods of the land. In the traditional farming society, spring sowing, summer harvesting, autumn harvesting, and wintering are the main work activities. The situation of the land harvest is very important for people who make a living out of it. Therefore, people still have a deep sense of respect for the land. Every spring sowing, the gods of the land will be sacrificed to pray for the abundance of grain by the god of the land. This activity is called “spring prayer.” In the fall, it is the season of harvest. It is also to worship the god of the earth and to thank God for his shelter, called the “Autumn Post”. August 15th is the season of autumn harvest. Each family has to worship the god of earth. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival may be the custom inherited from the ancient “Autumn Newspaper”.
