Moon cake, but in recent years, with the accelerated pace of life and the increase of human consumption, the Mid Autumn Festival has become the trend of moon cake festival.

What do you think of the custom of eating moon cakes on Mid Autumn Festival?

Only 28% of the respondents considered it very meaningful, 32% of them thought it was okay, and 20% thought it would be a synonym for giving gifts.

Netizens "flying knife" said that the Mid Autumn Festival is the meaning of round and round, the custom of eating moon cakes is also taken from the beautiful mood of reunion, if it is reduced to the time of human consumption, it is a great pity.

"I remember the Mid Autumn Festival when I was young, and after dinner, the family would sit outside to enjoy the moon, set moon cakes and pomegranates to worship the moon."

Citizen Feng Jie said that the story of Chang'e running to the moon is what the grandmother told him to listen to. At that time, the family members celebrated the Mid Autumn Festival was a grand affair. Unlike now, the Mid Autumn Festival is a family eating dinner, and the custom of watching the moon is gradually being ignored, leaving only the custom of eating moon cakes.

Feng Jie said that at the time when material life became rich, traditional festivals became increasingly boring and uncultured. Besides eating, there seemed to be no other programs to add to the fun. Many traditional customs had become increasingly far away from modern life.

Traditional culture needs inheritance.

There are various opinions on the moon cake with a happy wish of "Reunion", but the inheritance of the traditional culture of the Mid Autumn Festival has been agreed by 50 respondents, and they hope to be able to revive Chinese traditional festivals.

For the Chinese, the Mid Autumn Festival is the most important festival besides the Spring Festival.

As early as in the book of Zhou Li, there is a record of the word "Mid Autumn Festival".

In the Tang Dynasty, the custom of offering sacrifices to the moon and enjoying the moon was more valued by scholars and scholars, and the mid autumn festival became a regular Festival. In the book of Tang Dynasty Taizong, there was "fifteen Mid Autumn Festival in August".

Although the cultural connotation of the Mid Autumn Festival has weakened in recent years, it has also attached importance to this issue from the national level. It has been listed as a statutory holiday for the traditional festivals such as the Mid Autumn Festival, the Qingming and the Dragon Boat Festival.

But the traditional festival culture can not only rely on policy level to inherit, but awaken people's cultural consciousness and cultural identity, so as to revive traditional festivals.

Insiders pointed out that enriching the connotation of the Mid Autumn Festival, besides the traditional customs such as watching the moon and lighting, should also be integrated into the modern atmosphere, such as advocating lights and watching the moon and promoting low-carbon life, attracting more young people to participate.
