台州元宵中秋特别风俗考证

Research on Customs of Taizhou Lantern Festival and Mid-autumn Day

我国重要节日元宵节和中秋节分别是农历正月十五、八月十五,而台州元宵节在正月十四,中秋节在八月十六,宁波、舟山中秋节也是八月十六,分别提前一日、延后一日。在台州、宁波流传着多种有关这两个节日起源的传说,考证地方历史,较为可信的是元宵节正月十四起源于初唐台州筑城,中秋节八月十六起源于元末方国珍起事占领甬台温,为纪念其母而改。

In China,the Lantern Festival and Mid-autumn day should be on January the 15th and August 15th in lunar calendar,but in Taizhou,Ningbo and Zhoushan,Lantern Festival is on January 14th and the Mid-autumn Day is a day after August 15th.According to the legends about the origin of the two festivals,the Lantern Festival in Taizhou originated from the beginning of Tang Dynasty,and Mid-autumn Day on August 16th originated from Fang Guozhen Rebellion in the late Yuan Dynasty.
