中秋節有悠久的歷史,和其他傳統節日一樣,也是慢慢發展形成的,古代帝王有春天祭日,秋天祭月的禮制,後來貴族和文人學士也仿傚起來,在中秋時節,對著天上又亮又圓一輪皓月,觀賞祭拜,寄託情懷,這種習俗就這樣傳到民間,形成一個傳統的活動,一直到了唐代,這種祭月的風俗更為人們重視,中秋節才成為固定的節日。這個節日盛行於宋朝,至明清時,已與元旦齊名,成為我國的主要節日之一。
中秋傳說之一——嫦娥奔月
相傳,遠古時候天上有十日同時出現,曬得莊稼枯死,民不聊生,一個名叫后羿的英雄,力大無窮,他同情受苦的百姓,登上崑崙山頂,運足神力,拉開神弓,一氣射下九個多太陽,並嚴令最後一個太陽按時起落,為民造福。
后羿因此受到百姓的尊敬和愛戴,后羿娶了個美麗善良的妻子,名叫嫦娥。后羿除傳藝狩獵外,終日和妻子在一起,人們都羨慕這對郎才女貌的恩愛夫妻。
不少志士慕名前來投師學藝,心術不正的蓬蒙也混了進來。
一天,后羿到崑崙山訪友求道,巧遇由此經過的王母娘娘,便向王母求得一包不死藥。據說,服下此藥,能即刻升天成仙。然而,后羿捨不得撇下妻子,只好暫時把不死藥交給嫦娥珍藏。嫦娥將藥藏進梳妝檯的百寶匣裏,不料被小人蓬蒙看見了,他想偷吃不死藥自己成仙。
三天後,后羿率眾徒外出狩獵,心懷鬼胎的蓬蒙假裝生病,留了下來。待后羿率眾人走後不久,蓬蒙手持寶劍闖入內宅後院,威逼嫦娥交出不死藥。嫦娥知道自己不是蓬蒙的對手,危急之時她當機立斷,轉身打開百寶匣,拿出不死藥一口吞了下去。嫦娥吞下藥,身子立時飄離地面、衝出窗口,向天上飛去。由於嫦娥牽掛著丈夫,便飛落到離人間最近的月亮上成了仙。
傍晚,后羿回到家,侍女們哭訴了白天發生的事。后羿既驚又怒,抽劍去殺惡徒,蓬蒙早逃走了,后羿氣得捶胸頓足,悲痛欲絕,仰望著夜空呼喚愛妻的名字,這時他發現,今天的月亮格外皎潔明亮,而且有個晃動的身影酷似嫦娥。他拼命朝月亮追去,可無論他怎麼追,也追不到月亮。
后羿思念妻子,只好派人到嫦娥喜愛的後花園裏,放上她平時最愛吃的蜜食鮮果,遙祭在月宮裏眷戀著自己的嫦娥。百姓們聞知嫦娥奔月成仙的消息後,紛紛在月下襬設香案,向善良的嫦娥祈求吉祥平安。
從此,中秋節拜月的風俗在民間傳開了。
中秋傳說之二——吳剛折桂
相傳月亮上的廣寒宮前的桂樹生長繁茂,有五百多丈高,下邊有個人常在砍伐它,但是每次砍下去之後,被砍的地方又立即合攏了。幾千年來,就這樣隨砍隨合,這棵桂樹永遠也不能被砍光。據說這個砍樹的人名叫吳剛,是漢朝西河人,曾跟隨仙人修道,到了天界,但是他犯了錯誤,仙人就把他貶謫到月宮,日日做這種徒勞無功的苦差使,以示懲處。
中秋傳說之三——朱元璋與月餅起義
中秋節吃月餅相傳始於元代。當時,中原廣大人民不堪忍受元朝統治階級的殘酷統治,紛紛起義抗元。朱元璋聯合各路反抗力量準備起義。但朝庭官兵搜查的十分嚴密,傳遞消息十分困難。軍師劉伯溫便想出一計策,命令屬下把藏有“八月十五夜起義”的紙條藏入餅子裏面,再派人分頭傳送到各地起義軍中,通知他們在八月十五日晚上起義響應。到了起義的那天,各路義軍一齊響應,起義軍如星火燎原。
很快,徐達就攻下元大都,起義成功了。消息傳來,朱元璋高興得連忙傳下口諭,在即將來臨的中秋節,讓全體將士與民同樂,並將當年起兵時以秘密傳遞資訊的“月餅”,作為節令糕點賞賜群臣。此後,“月餅”製作越發精細,品種更多,成為饋贈的佳品。以後中秋吃月餅的習俗便在民間流傳開來。
