Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, August Festival, August Festival, Chasing Festival, Moon Festival, Moon Festival, Daughter's Day or Reunion Festival, is popular in many ethnic groups and Chinese cultural circles in China. The traditional cultural festivals of the countries are on the 15th day of the lunar calendar. Because it is just half of the autumn, the name is also set in some places to set the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 16.

The Mid - Autumn Festival began in the early Tang Dynasty and prevailed in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had become one of the traditional Chinese festivals with the same reputation as the Spring Festival. Influenced by Chinese culture, Mid - Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival for some countries in East and Southeast Asia, especially for local Chinese and overseas Chinese. The Mid - Autumn Festival has been listed as a national legal holiday since 2008. On May 20, 2006, the State Council was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists.
