The Taoist Moon God is also known as the Moon Goddess, the Moon Star Master and the Moon Gu. The origin of Mid-Autumn Festival, according to historical records, the word "Mid-Autumn Festival" first appeared in Zhou Li. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was a record of "telling Shangshu Town about the cow's confusion, crossing the river in mid-autumn, and traveling incognito around". It was not until the early years of the Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. The Book of Emperor Taizong recorded the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. The prevalence of Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty and became the main folk festival in China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

According to the China calendar, the eighth month of the lunar calendar is in the middle of autumn, which is the second month of autumn, so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival". Mid-Autumn Festival falls on August 15, so it is called "August Festival" and "August and a half". The main activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival are all around the "Moon", also called "Moon Festival" and "Moon Festival". The full moon in Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes reunion, also called "Reunion Festival". In the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival was also called "correcting the moon".

The record of "Reunion Festival" was first seen in the Ming Dynasty. "Journey to the West Lake" says: "August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people send moon cakes to show their reunion". "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital" also said: "On August 15th, the moon was sacrificed, the cakes were round, the melons were wrongly divided, and the petals were carved with lotus flowers. ..... people who marry their relatives in the province will return to their husband's family one day. This is the so-called reunion festival ".

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a custom of "reunion" in most parts of our country, that is, flipping a small cake symbolizing reunion, which is similar to a moon cake. The cake contains sugar, sesame, sweet-scented osmanthus and vegetables, and the moon, sweet-scented osmanthus tree and rabbit are pressed outside. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the elders at home cut the cake into pieces according to the number of people, one for each person, indicating family reunion.
