今天(農曆八月十五)是中秋節，每年都過中秋節，但你知道它的由來嗎？
中秋，最早出現於《周禮》，《禮記·月令》上說：「仲秋之月養衰老，行糜粥飲食。」唐朝以後，中秋節成為君王賞賜群臣的節日。明清時期，中秋節已經成為中國的一大傳統節日。《正德江寧縣誌》載：「中秋夜，南京人必賞月，合家賞月稱為『慶團圓』，團坐聚飲稱為『圓月』，出遊待市稱為『走月』」。
此外，關於中秋節由來的傳說還有東亞各地皆有的月兔傳說、中國地區的嫦娥奔月、越南的阿貴傳說等等。具體的起源年代已不可考。
Today (the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar) is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated every year, but do you know its origin?
The Mid-Autumn Festival first appeared in the "Rite of the Week" and the "Book of Rites: The Order of the Moon" said: "The Mid-Autumn Moon nourishes the senility and eats porridge." After the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival became a festival for the king to reward the officials. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Mid-Autumn Festival has become a major traditional festival in China. "Zhengde Jiangning County Chronicles" contains: "On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, Nanjing people must admire the moon. Family watching the moon is called "Celebrating Reunion", sitting and drinking together is called "Full Moon", and going out to the city is called "Walking Moon".
In addition, there are legends about the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, such as the legend of the moon rabbit in various parts of East Asia, the legend of Chang'e flying to the moon in China, and the legend of Agui in Vietnam. The exact age of origin is no longer available.
