There are various traditional customs in Taiwan Province Province, and each classic custom has been handed down by ancestors. But at the original traditional wedding in China, why was there the custom of sending Chinese wedding cakes? What is the meaning behind the different tastes of Chinese wedding cakes? Come and have a look with me!

Cake has always been a popular food product in China, and Chinese wedding cake is also one of the traditional cakes. According to legend, the custom of sending Chinese wedding cakes originated in the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, there was a famous story. At that time, Liu Bei's wife had just held a funeral. Zhou Yu made a proposal to Sun Quan, planning to marry Sun Quan's sister to Liu Bei, hoping to take Liu Bei as a hostage and then snatch Jingzhou from Liu Bei, but this trick was discovered by Kong Ming.

At this time, a skilled master made a beautiful Chinese wedding cake with dragon and phoenix patterns to symbolize the matching of dragons and phoenixes and good luck. The originator of this Chinese wedding cake has both the crisp flavor of Jingzhou and the sweet characteristics of Soochow.

Zhuge Liang ordered the production of 65,438+00,000 pieces and sent them to all families and soldiers of Sun Quan, singing a ballad: "Liu Bei and Wu Dong came to get married, and the dragon and phoenix wedding cakes are media evidence." At the same time, he invited someone to fly a kite, and a big piece of cloth was hung on the kite, which read "Sun Liu's second surname got married", making Wu Dong's marriage a household name, so that Sun Quan could not be destroyed at once. This story became famous. This interesting story of the Three Kingdoms is also the origin of Chinese wedding cake custom. I didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be the inventor of China wedding cake!

Since then, when both men and women have weddings to be held, they are also eager to follow Zhuge Liang's action of sending cakes and tell everyone the good news with China wedding cake, which is a traditional gift for engagement. In modern society, sending wedding cakes is no longer a political means, but an item to share the joy of marriage!

Up to now, the Chinese wedding cake has quietly changed a lot, blending many different dim sum elements, so that now couples have more different changes when choosing wedding cakes! Because this is a happy wedding, it also represents many different meanings in the taste of Chinese wedding cake!
