The ritual of worshipping the moonThe moon worship ceremony was as follows:
1. ** Set up a "worship platform"(Moonlight position)**: Set the table in a place facing the moon where you can see the moon and bathe in the moonlight, such as a balcony, courtyard, or living room window where you can see the moon. Place a cushion under the moonlight position to facilitate worship.
2. ** Prepare Moon Sacrifice Item **:
- If there was a statue of the Lunar Star Lord, a rabbit, etc., they would be placed in the middle of the moonlight position to kneel down. If there was no statue, a memorial tablet could be set up. If there was neither a statue nor a memorial tablet, the incense burner would be placed separately, and the tributes would be placed in a row. The incense burner should be placed in the middle of the front row of the tributes.
- Incense was essential. According to the rules of the temple, there were three sticks of incense. The order of incense was middle, right, and left. The three sticks of incense had to be inserted straight and flat, with an interval of no more than an inch. If you don't have a censer, you can use apples or oranges as incense stands.
- Prepare fresh flowers, clean water (no raw water or dirty water), fruits (must be fresh and clean. Each fruit must be singular, such as 3, 5, 7, 9), and mooncakes.
3. ** Start Worship **:
- When the moon rises and bathes in the moonlight, wash your hands first, then offer incense, worship the moon, and bow three times. Children could pray to the moon, but adult men did not have to.
- After the worship, if there was a god statue, please return it properly. If there was a memorial tablet, the paper with the name of the god on it should be burned properly.
4. [Sharing of Blessing Food: The female protagonist of the family will cut open the mooncakes after offering the moon and distribute the fruits offered during the worship to everyone in the family to share the blessing.]
5. [Collect the essence of the moon (female believers can choose): When the moon rises, falls, or falls, stand upright facing the moon, hold your breath eight times, raise your head and absorb the moon essence. Think of the five-colored light in the moon entering your mouth and swallow it eight times.]

The Origin of Worshipping the Moon GodThere were many reasons for worshipping the Moon God.
According to historical records, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, there were activities to welcome the cold and worship the moon on the Mid-Autumn Night. Incense tables were set up, offerings were placed, and the whole family worshipped the moon in turn. By the Tang Dynasty, the moon-worshipping activity had generally taken shape, and the form of offering sacrifices to the Moon God in the Autumn Festival had existed since ancient times. The Autumn Festival Moon Worship ceremony was to offer sacrifices to the moon on the night of the autumnal equinox.
From a legendary point of view, the ugly girl Wuyan of the ancient Qi State worshiped the moon devoutly when she was young. When she grew up, she entered the palace. Although she was not favored, the emperor felt that she was beautiful and outstanding when he admired the moon on the 15th of August, so he made her the empress. This led to the development of the custom of worshiping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
From the perspective of culture and belief, the Moon God was honored as the Lunar Star Lord by Taoism. It was said that the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar was the birthday of the Moon God, the Lunar Goddess, the Old Man under the Moon, and the Earth Lord. Therefore, there was a custom of worshipping the moon. The Moon God brought light to people at night, and the moon made people daydream. Many myths about the moon were derived, such as Chang'e flying to the moon. These stories enriched the cultural content of the Moon God and also promoted the formation and inheritance of the custom of worshipping the Moon God. At the same time, in ancient China, when men and women were in love, they would pray to the Lunar Star Lord under the moon. Separated lovers would also pray for reunion. This also reflected the origin of the worship of the Moon God and people's yearning for a better life. In addition, the custom of worshipping the moon is prevalent among many ethnic minorities in China, such as the "moon jumping" activity of the Miao nationality, which also reflects the widespread existence and deep origin of the custom of worshipping the moon god.
The meaning of worshipping the Moon GodOn one hand, worshiping the Moon God had the meaning of praying for reunion. On the other hand, the moon would give people light in the dark night. It had the meaning of guiding the direction and giving people hope. It also contained the wish for a better life. It also contained the meaning of thanking the Moon God for giving a bumper harvest and the meaning of harmony between Yin and Yang. The ancients believed that worshiping the Moon God could protect the country and the people's peace, eliminate disasters and receive blessings.
