Eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional virtue in my country.

So, cement mooncakes have appeared recently, what’s the point?

1. The origin of moon cake custom.

Legend has it that when Hou Yi and Chang'e were demoted to the common people, the Queen Mother of the West gave an elixir of immortality to their descendants. Later, by some strange combination of circumstances, Chang'e took it and flew into the sky.

The two of them missed each other very much because they were separated, so Hou Yi placed an incense cover in Chang'e's favorite back garden and put her favorite fruit snacks on it.

Chang'e was very sad when she saw it in the sky. First, she passed it on to Hou Yi. When the moon is full tomorrow, you make the flour into the shape of a full moon, place it in the northwest direction of the house, and then call my name continuously.

I can go home after three times.

The next day, the descendants placed moon cakes and called out Chang'e, and the two were reunited.

Later, the common people learned that Chang'e flew to the moon and became an immortal, and they also imitated Hou Yi one after another.

To pray to Chang'e for good luck, peace and family reunion, the custom of eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival has evolved over time.

2. No matter which corner of the world you see the same side of the moon, but the mooncakes you eat in different places in China are completely different. The most common one is the Cantonese-style mooncake, which originated from Guangdong leather-wrapped eggs.

The egg yolk filling is especially delicious. Beijing mooncakes are mostly found in Beijing, and the skins in northeastern Tianjin are thicker. Its strongest specialty is the five-nut mooncakes, which have a crispy skin and can be sweet or salty.

The Soviet-style mooncakes with ham and lard are delicious. Chaozhou, Guangdong also has its own special mooncakes. Chaozhou-style mooncakes with spiral patterns on the surface are surrounded by mooncakes.

The most tempting one is the cloud leg mooncake. The filling is the essence of ham, plus honey, lard, sugar, sweet and salty. It is so delicious that I can’t believe that the Qin-style mooncakes in Shaanxi are very old.

3. The name cement mooncakes has become popular on the Internet. The main reason is that mooncakes are as hard as reinforced concrete.

Netizens have said that this should be a new flavor of reinforced concrete filling; or that the school wants to cultivate a few iron teeth and bronze teeth; to ensure the quality of this mooncake, leverage; or that this can be used as a brick for self-defense? and so on.

The moon cake cannot be bitten and is as indestructible as cement.
