Mooncakes are in honor of Chang'e. Mooncakes are eaten on the Mid-Autumn Festival in honor of an ancient legend that E ran to the moon. According to the legend, Chang'e was a beautiful goddess who was kind and intelligent, but was banished to the moon by people who were jealous of her because she mistakenly took the elixir of immortality. Every year on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, people would reunite at home and look up at the bright moon while eating mooncakes to commemorate and remember Chang'e. The custom of eating mooncakes on Mid-Autumn Day also represents reunion and family harmony. The word "mooncake" was first recorded in the Southern Song Dynasty in Wu Zimu's Mengliang Lu. Mooncakes have been blended with dietary customs in various places, and developed into Cantonese, Jin, Beijing, Suzhou, Chao, Dian and other mooncakes, which are loved by people from all over China, north and south.
