Cultural custom of moon cakes

Sacrificing the moon is a very old custom in China. Moon cakes are offerings to the moon gods in ancient Mid-Autumn Festival, and they are also seasonal food for the Mid-Autumn Festival. In ancient times, the moon was sacrificed every mid-autumn night. Set up a big incense table and place sacrifices such as moon cakes and fruits. Under the moon, put the moon statue in the direction of the moon, and the red candle burns high. The whole family worships the moon in turn, and then the housewife cuts up the reunion moon cake.

Watching the moon and eating moon cakes are the necessary customs for Mid-Autumn Festival in all parts of China. As the saying goes, "August 15th is full, and the moon cakes are sweet and fragrant".
