This night, Ouyang Xinyu didn't fall asleep at all. Please remember the URL of this site: . She lay on the bed and didn't close her eyes all night. She was thinking about her thoughts, thinking a lot. What she didn't understand was why fate played another joke on her at this time when she decided to change herself and try to please the lord and lady Shangguan who were not her real parents.

The legal age of marriage in Taiwan is relatively young, but there are still relatively few people who actually get married so early. 16 years old is the age of a young man, a high school or college student who has not yet been able to act, and the generation that still depends on their parents to provide for their own schooling, what ability do they have to manage their marriage? And the unknown problems that marriage presents to them?

Originally, I inexplicably traveled to this strange and backward ancient time, and I didn't forget it! But before the age of eighteen, some people mentioned her marriage, as if if she didn't marry at the age of eighteen, she wouldn't be able to marry in her life. The worst thing is that when you encounter such a big problem, you don't even have anyone to complain or talk to. Although there is a little cui girl by her side who has been helping her, after all, she is an ancient person, how can she understand Ouyang Xinyu's true thoughts?

"Miss, why are you always sullen these days? Are you still thinking about what the master is going to give you a blind date? Xiao Cui looked listless for a few days, and asked worriedly.

"Xiaocui, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I don't want to go to that Mid-Autumn Festival temple fair." Hearing Xiao Cui ask about herself, Ouyang Xin said in a whimsical voice.

"How's that going to work? The lord and the lady attach great importance to this festival, and in previous years, the lord and the lady also took the young lady and the maids to participate in the temple fair! ”

"But, I'm not your lady at all! Otherwise, I'd better go and tell the truth to your lord and wife, and make it clear! ”

"But, Miss Xinyu, you have to think clearly, can you explain this clearly? Unless you find our Miss Wan'er, you still don't have to think about anything! ”

"Oh, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, what am I going to do?"

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and Xiaocui said that they would hold many grand programs on this day in ancient times. Moreover, no matter how busy they are on this day, Lord Shangguan and his wife will take their daughter, Miss Wan'er, to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival temple fair together. For this temple fair, Master Shangguan seems to be looking forward to it more than in previous years. Master Shangguan's thoughts are obvious, he just wants to take this opportunity to let their precious daughter go to the temple fair to find a husband.

In ancient times, the average girl's family only showed her face on important occasions, and the rest of the time she stayed in the house to read and write or do handicrafts. Such a girl's family can only marry a good family when she becomes an adult. If there is a girl in the temple fair, in a few days, someone will ask the matchmaker to go to the girl's house to propose marriage.

Of course, Ouyang Xinyu knew what it meant to her to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival temple fair. On the one hand, I am so curious and looking forward to a qiē outside the house, and on the other hand, I am afraid of meeting the children of the disciples to find someone to talk to the house. How is this good?

The Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history, and like other traditional festivals, it is also slowly developed. Later, the aristocracy and the literati also followed suit, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, facing the sky and a round round of the moon, watching and worshipping, sustenance feelings, this custom was passed on to the people, forming a traditional activity, until the Tang Dynasty, this custom of sacrificing the moon was more important to people, and the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival.

The term "Mid-Autumn Festival" was first seen in "Zhou Li". According to the ancient calendar of our country, the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is in the middle of August in the autumn of a year, so it is called the "Mid-Autumn Festival". There are four seasons in a year, each quarter is divided into three parts, Meng, Zhong and Ji, the second month in the three autumns is called Mid-autumn, so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Mid-Autumn". By the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was a record of "Yu Shangshu Town Cattle Confusion, Mid-Autumn Festival Eve and Left and Right Micro Service Panjiang". The Book of Tang? The Taizong Ji records the "Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15". The popularity of the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty, and by the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has become one of the main festivals in China as well as New Year's Day. This is also the second largest traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has many other names: because the festival is on August 15, it is called "August Festival" and "August and a half"; Because the main activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival are carried out around the "moon", it is also commonly known as the "Moon Festival" and "Moon Eve"; The moon is full of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which symbolizes reunion, so it is also called "Reunion Festival".

In the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival was also known as the "Duanzheng Month". The earliest record of the "Reunion Festival" was found in the Ming Dynasty. "West Lake Excursion Zhiyu" said: "August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the people send moon cakes to each other, taking the meaning of reunion." "Dijing Scenery and Things" also said: "On the fifteenth day of August, the cake must be round, the melon must be wrong, and the petals are carved like lotus flowers." …… Those who have a wife who return to tranquility will return to their husband's house on the same day, which is called the reunion festival. On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, most parts of our country still have the custom of branding "reunion", that is, branding a small cake that symbolizes reunion and resembles a moon cake, and the cake is wrapped with sugar, sesame, osmanthus and vegetables, etc., and the moon, laurel, rabbit and other patterns are pressed outside. After the moon festival, the elders of the family will cut the bread into pieces according to the number of people, one piece for each person, and leave a copy for someone if they are not at home, indicating family reunion.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the clouds are scarce and the fog is scarce, the moonlight is bright and bright, in addition to the folk to hold a series of activities such as moon appreciation, moon worship, eating moon cakes and blessing reunion, there are also grass dragon dances, pagodas and other activities in some places. In addition to mooncakes, a variety of seasonal fresh fruits and dried fruits are also a delicacy on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Another theory of the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival is that the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar happens to be the time when the rice is ripe, and each family worships the god of the land. The Mid-Autumn Festival may be the legacy of the Autumn Newspaper.

With the continuous development of society, the ancients gave the moon many legends, from the toad in the moon to the jade rabbit pounding medicine, from Wu Gang to Chang'e to the moon, the rich imagination for the moon palace world to depict a mottled scenery. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Mokesao people chanted about the moon and its events, and the full moon on August 15 became an excellent time to express their feelings. During the reign of Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the official family officially designated August 15 as the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was taken in the middle of the three autumns, when all the people celebrated. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon is in the sky, the clear light is sprinkled all over the earth, people regard the full moon as a symbol of reunion, and August 15 as the day of family reunion, therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the "Reunion Festival".

In modern times, the legend of the Mid-Autumn Festival is very rich, and myths such as Chang'e running to the moon, Wu Gang cutting Gui, and Jade Rabbit pounding medicine are widely spread. I just don't know, how much does Ouyang Xinyu, who grew up in Taiwan, know about this festival?
