As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, I have compiled a composition about the Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes. I hope it will be helpful to you. Essay on Mid-Autumn Festival Mooncakes 1

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in China, also known as the "Reunion Festival". But in my rural hometown, August 15th is just a very ordinary festival. People of my grandparents’ generation simply didn’t understand the Mid-Autumn Festival, such as “Chang’e flying to the moon”, “Wu Gang winning the crown”, and “Zhu Yuanzhang and the Mooncake Uprising”. They only know that August 15th is the day to eat moon cakes. My parents' generation is still uneducated, but they know to some extent that they need to look at the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

We don’t have the custom of "autumn twilight and evening moon" in our place. Every Mid-Autumn Festival is very dull. Children who like to listen to the sound of New Year's firecrackers don't like it. I'm not used to eating mooncakes. I think mooncakes are not as delicious as pancakes, which makes me even more annoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. When I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, I had a schoolmate named Lanlan who loved mooncakes. Her family is relatively well off, and she eats mooncakes for a period of time around the Mid-Autumn Festival every year.

At first, I thought Lanlan was quite nice, but later I became particularly annoyed with her. She always holds mooncakes to me and explains to me how she got them. During the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year, she actually brought a lot of mooncakes from home and gave them to the friends around her, except for me. I won’t explain to you that I don’t like mooncakes.

I remember that it was about a Thursday after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I accidentally noticed that my neighbor had a beautiful mooncake box, and I begged my mother to get it. My mother refused at first because of her face, but later she couldn't stand my insistence and agreed. I asked for a mooncake box from my neighbor’s house, and I wanted to eat mooncakes. At that time, Hou's family was living in poverty. Except for moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they could not eat moon cakes at ordinary times. My mother made a few buckwheat noodles according to the pictures on the mooncake box, and then filled them with some peanuts, walnuts, etc., and the famous mooncakes were made.

I was so satisfied that I took those buckwheat mooncakes to school as lunch. Before I left, my mother told me that I would never ask for anything from others in the future. The mooncakes from my neighbor’s house were given by relatives in the big city. They were very precious gifts! Even though they were just empty mooncake boxes, they were also rare items.

That morning, I strode into the classroom and showed off the mooncake box under my arm with a very proud look. When the friends gathered around, no one mentioned that Lan Lan’s mooncakes were delicious. Lan Lan's eyelids were red and she didn't seem to see the mooncake box in my hand. Among all the children in the room, I was the only one who knew what was in the mooncake box. Enough showing off, I didn’t give it to anyone, I ate it while I was in class. Lan Lan couldn't help but asked me if it was delicious and wanted to repay me. I took out the mooncakes and deliberately compared them with the mooncakes on the mooncake box so that she could not doubt that my mooncakes were genuine brand-name products.

I told Lan Lan in the newsletter that ordinary mooncakes are not delicious unless they are famous brands. My friends wanted to please me by eating some famous brand mooncakes, and they all agreed that the mooncakes Lan Lan usually got were terrible, and she was the only one who regarded them as good things and showed them off, but no one cared about them at all!

Later Lanlan exchanged her half a catty of mooncakes for the empty mooncake box in my hand. On the way home, I secretly took out the mooncakes to eat. Lanlan’s mooncakes were much better than the ones I ate during the Mid-Autumn Festival, let alone the buckwheat ones. The mooncakes are gone.

Lanlan’s family is not in the same small village as mine, but they are destined to be together with me. We were in the same school until the third grade of junior high school. I just never saw her eating mooncakes again, even on the Mid-Autumn Festival. After graduating from junior high school, Lanlan was admitted to a cooking school, and I was admitted to a key high school in the county, and we no longer contacted each other.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the college had a few days off, and I had a small party with my roommates. That day, I suddenly received an exquisite mooncake box and a letter from the business department manager of a pastry company in Shanghai. The letter was very short: Old classmate, are you okay now? Let me tell you a secret that will surprise you. In fact, The mooncake box you "humiliated" me contained buckwheat mooncakes, and that exquisite mooncake box was not yours, but my dad bought it from Sichuan for your neighbors. I recognized it at first, but I was just wondering why you ate it so sweetly!" Now I understand!

After reading Lan Lan's letter, I suddenly realized.

In fact, no matter the famous brand mooncakes Buckwheat mooncakes are both sweet and round. The most beautiful part is not the filling, but the atmosphere when the family reunites and eats mooncakes harmoniously! At that moment, I changed my habit of not eating mooncakes and opened the orchid. Let’s smack the buckwheat mooncakes sent by Lan Zhai together. Eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a beautiful enjoyment and a beautiful emotional exchange.

Today, I am with you. As usual, I skipped home humming a little tune...

When I got home, I found my mother cutting mooncakes. My mouth watered. I went to get one regardless, but my mother stopped me. Asked me what holiday today was, my saliva drooled to my chin, so I didn’t care.

Mom said today is the Mid-Autumn Festival! In the evening, my family can sit on the balcony to enjoy the moon and eat cakes. I am very happy...

In the evening, my grandparents also came to have a party, and we all sat on the balcony to enjoy the moon. After eating the cake, I looked at the round moon again... I ate the moon cake, thinking that I had also eaten the moon. Everyone said I was stupid and cute...

My grandparents also told me He told me the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival and told me many stories and why mooncakes are eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I listened with gusto...

Ah, the round mooncakes made me have endless aftertaste. The round moon is rippling in my heart... From then on, every Mid-Autumn Festival, our family gathers together warmly to eat mooncakes!

I like this endless joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival! Essay on Mid-Autumn Festival Mooncakes 3

The traditional food of the Mid-Autumn Festival is moon cakes. Moon cakes are round, symbolizing reunion and reflecting people's good wishes for family reunion. Eating mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival is said to have begun in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang led the Han people to resist the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty and agreed to revolt on August 15th. They would send mooncakes to each other by sandwiching notes in the mooncakes to convey messages. The custom of eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people.

Eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival is said to have begun in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the vast number of people in the Central Plains could not bear the cruel rule of the Yuan Dynasty's ruling class, and they revolted against the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang united various resistance forces to prepare for the uprising. However, the officers and soldiers of the court conducted a very strict search, making it very difficult to convey the news. Military counselor Liu Bowen came up with a plan and ordered his subordinates to hide the note with "uprising on August 15th" in the cakes, and then sent people to deliver it to the insurrectionary armies in various places, informing them to respond to the uprising on the night of August 15th. . On the day of the uprising, all rebel armies responded together, and the insurrectionary army was like a spark igniting a prairie fire.

Soon, Xu Da captured Yuan Dadu and the uprising was successful. When the news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he quickly passed down an oral order to let all the soldiers and the people have fun during the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, and to reward the officials with the "mooncakes" that were used to secretly convey the message when the army was launched as seasonal cakes.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang finally overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and became the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Manchus later occupied China, people still celebrated this festival that symbolized the overthrow of alien rule.

Since then, the production of "mooncakes" has become more and more sophisticated, with more varieties. The big ones are as big as discs, and they have become a good gift. From then on, the custom of eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival spread among the people. Essay on Mid-Autumn Festival Mooncakes 4

Although there is still more than a month left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mooncake war in Guangzhou has already been filled with smoke. Guangzhou Restaurant, Lianxiang House, Taotaoju, etc. all held mooncake ordering parties, each showing the freshest and brightest cards.

Looking at this year’s mooncake market, in addition to more diverse varieties and more exquisite packaging, the most eye-catching thing is the “cultural card”. Mooncakes are originally a special food of the Chinese nation and have strong Chinese cultural characteristics. How to reflect the Chinese color of mooncakes?

Let mooncakes leave a cultural imprint

On the occasion of the 115th anniversary of the opening of Lianxiang House, one of the epitome of Guangzhou Xiguan food culture, the State Post Bureau has specially approved the issuance of Lianxiang Lou's 115th anniversary personalized commemorative stamps. It is understood that this is the first stamp issued by a century-old brand in the catering industry in the country.

Recently, Lianxianglou held a stamp launch ceremony. The personalized stamps issued this time are exquisitely designed, with a set of 4 pieces. The main stamp features "Concentric Knot" as the main image, while the design and concept of the accompanying stamp take the 115-year long history and distinctive culture of Lian Xiang Tower as the theme.

It is understood that 1,500 editions of personalized stamps will be issued this time, with 4 sets per edition, with a total of 6,000 sets. The stamps will not be sold to the public separately, but will only be put into anniversary mooncake gift boxes. At the launch ceremony a few days ago, a first-day cover with stamps and postmark will be given as a bonus, a total of 1150 pieces.

According to the person in charge of the marketing department of the Guangzhou Post Bureau, the launch of Lianxianglou’s personalized stamps is mainly because Lianxianglou has a long history and is well-known domestically and even among overseas Chinese. "After 115 years of ups and downs, Lianxiang Tower still smells fragrant, which is very rare." There are not many century-old stores left in Guangzhou. It is precisely because of the historical connotation and cultural heritage of Lianxiang Tower that the Municipal Post Office jointly launched personalized stamp.

According to Secretary Zhang Xueqing of Lianxianglou, it is rare to see stamps paired with mooncakes. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for family and friends to reunite, but many families may not be reunited and it is difficult for friends to meet. Mooncakes contain family and friendship, and stamps contain the meaning of sending this family and friendship to distant places; in addition, mooncakes are a special food of the Chinese nation and have strong Chinese cultural characteristics.

The main stamp used this time is "Concentric Knot", and the accompanying stamp is a characteristic stamp of the century-old Lianxianglou culture paired with mooncakes, which reflects the cultural taste and Chinese color of the mooncakes. Secretary Zhang said that all combinations of Lianxianglou mooncakes this year will be inseparable from the word "culture". Zhou Guangjun, secretary-general of the China Baked Foods and Confectionery Products Industry Association, also said that Lianxianglou has launched its products in this way of combining stamps and mooncakes. This is not only the first time in Guangdong, but also the first time in the country as far as we know.

This time Lianxianglou put personalized stamps into mooncake gift boxes, which were welcomed by mooncake merchants. Before the mooncake gift boxes were launched, customers from all over the world had already placed large orders, including many from Tibet and Xinjiang. Due to their religious beliefs, customers in Xinjiang specifically requested Lianxianglou to make halal mooncakes to match the personalized stamps.
