The Autumn Equinox is the 16th solar term of the 24 solar terms and the fourth solar term of autumn. As the 16th solar term of a year, it usually begins on Sept 23 and ends on Oct 8, dividing autumn into two equal parts. After that day, the location of direct sunlight moves to the south, making days shorter and nights longer in the northern hemisphere.
Originally, the festival of sacrificing to the moon was set on the Autumn Equinox day. According to historical records, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, the ancient kings by custom sacrificed to the sun on the Spring Equinox, and to the moon on the Autumn Equinox. But since it is not a fixed day in lunar August, there might be no full moon on the Autumn Equinox. During the festival, if there was no moon to make sacrifices to, it would spoil the fun. Thus, the day was changed to the Mid-Autumn Day.
