中秋一词，最早见于《周礼》，《礼记·月令》上说：“仲秋之月养衰老，行糜中秋节粥饮食。”一说它起源于古代帝王的祭祀活动。《礼记》上记载：“天子春朝日，秋夕月”，夕月就是祭月亮，说明早在春秋时代，帝王就已开始祭月、拜月了。
The term Mid-Autumn is first found in the Rites of Zhou, which says on the Rites of the Moon: “The month of Mid-Autumn nourishes the senile, and the line of millets Mid-Autumn Festival porridge diet.” One says that it originated from the rituals of the ancient emperors.

中秋节起源于我国古代秋祀、拜月之俗。《礼记》 中记载有天子春朝日, 秋夕月。“朝日以朝，夕月以夕。”这里的“夕月”技术拜月的意思。两汉时以具雏形,唐时,中秋节赏月之俗始盛行,并定为中秋节。欧阳展(公元七百八十五一 约八百二十七年)于《长安玩月诗序》云:“八月于秋。季始孟终;十五于夜，又月云中,急于天道,则寒暑均, 取于月数,则缠魂园,故日中秋。”
The Mid-Autumn Festival has its origins in the ancient Chinese custom of worshipping the moon in autumn. In the Book of Rites, it is written that the Son of Heaven celebrated the day in spring and the moon in autumn. “The day of the dynasty is the day of the dynasty, and the moon is the night of the night.” The term “Xiyue” here refers to the worship of the moon. In the Tang dynasty, the moon festival became popular and was designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ouyang Zhan (7851 AD, about 827 years) wrote in the “Preface to the Poem on Playing with the Moon in Chang’an”: “August is in autumn. The 15th day of the month is in the night, and the moon is in the clouds, so that the cold and heat are evenly distributed in the heavenly way, and the number of the moon is taken into account, so that the soul is entangled in the garden, hence the day of Mid-Autumn.”
