The origin of the moon cake

Mooncakes originated in the Tang Dynasty. During Tang Gaozu's reign, General Li Jing conquered the Huns and returned triumphantly on August 15th. At that time, Turpan people who were doing business presented cakes to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor gaozu Li Yuan took the gorgeous cake box, took out the round cake, smiled and pointed to the moon in the sky and said, "We should invite toads to the Hu cake." Then he shared the cake with the ministers. Later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty renamed Hu cake as moon cake. Moon cakes are one of the traditional Chinese cakes with a long reputation, and they are eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Moon cakes are round and round, and they are shared by the whole family, symbolizing reunion and harmony. Ancient moon cakes were eaten as sacrifices in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
