Moon cakes The traditional food of Mid-Autumn Festival is moon cakes, which are round, symbolizing reunion and reflecting people's good wishes for reunion with their families. It is said that eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the broad masses of the people in the Central Plains could not bear the cruel rule of the ruling class in the Yuan Dynasty and rose up against the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang combined with various resistance forces to prepare for the uprising. However, the officers and men of the court searched very carefully and it was difficult to pass on the news. Liu Bowen, a military adviser, came up with a plan and ordered his subordinates to hide a note with the words "Uprising on the evening of August 15th" in the cake, and then sent people to the uprising troops in various places to inform them to respond to the uprising on the evening of August 15th. On the day of the uprising, all the rebels responded together, such as a single spark can start a prairie fire.

Soon, Xu Da captured the Yuan Dynasty and the uprising was successful. When the news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy. He quickly gave a message that all soldiers would be happy with the people in the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, and he would give the "moon cakes" secretly sent when the battle began that year to his ministers as seasonal cakes. Since then, the production of "moon cakes" has become more and more elaborate, with more and more varieties, such as disc shapes, and has become a good gift.
