It is thought-provoking to change from the "Autumn Festival" which is purely a farming ceremony to the "Reunion Festival" which symbolizes family reunion and happiness. "Autumn party" and "reunion" naturally have some common pursuits from the psychological level. Praying for a bumper harvest or holding a sacrificial ceremony to reward the gods of heaven and earth is undoubtedly praying for material wealth and a rich and happy life; And looking forward to reunion is not the hope for a happy and happy life? But the difference between them is not difficult to analyze. The former seems to pay more attention to material wealth, while the latter seems to pay special attention to the pursuit of family and interpersonal harmony, so it pays more attention to spirit. But what does the formation of the word "reunion" in Mid-Autumn Festival mean? It shows that China people's pursuit of family affection, family harmony and interpersonal harmony exceeds the pursuit of material things. On the other hand, the existence of the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival has cultivated China people's spirit of attaching importance to family, affection and harmonious interpersonal relationship.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is rooted in the extremely deep traditional ethical and cultural soil.
