The traditional custom of eating moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival may have originated from the Yuan Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang led some people to resist the tyranny at that time, and agreed to launch an uprising on August 15th of the lunar calendar. The way to send a signal was to add a small note on the moon cake.

Later, through the efforts of Zhu Yuanzhang and these ordinary people, the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty was finally overthrown. From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang became the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Qing Dynasty was later returned to China, people still celebrated this day, and everyone tried their best to overthrow tyranny. Therefore, people regard eating moon cakes as the traditional custom of Mid-Autumn Festival to commemorate the day of victory, the happy day that changed the lives of countless people.
