Origin of Changzhou Moon Cake:

According to allusions, in the old days, due to the limited economic conditions, local people often used homemade moon cakes instead of moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival. They stuffed the minced vegetables or shepherd's purse into the prepared flour dough, rolled it into a big round moon shape with a beer bottle and a rolling pin, sprinkled a layer of black sesame seeds, and baked it in a pan.
