Mid-Autumn Festival Legends and Stories

Mid-Autumn Festival eating mooncakes is said to have begun in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the people of the Central Plains could not bear the cruel rule of the Yuan Dynasty ruling class and rose up against the Yuan. Zhu Yuanzhang united all the resistance forces to prepare for the uprising, but the imperial court officials and soldiers searched very closely, making it very difficult to pass on the news.

Liu Bo Wen, the military advisor, came up with a plan to order his subordinates to hide the "August 15 night uprising" note inside the cake, and then sent people to send people around the insurgent army, notifying them to rise on the night of August 15 to respond. On the day of the uprising, all the rebel armies responded together, and the rebel army was like a prairie fire.

Soon, Xu Da captured the Yuan capital and the uprising was successful. When the news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he quickly sent down an order to let all the generals and soldiers enjoy the coming Mid-Autumn Festival with the people, and rewarded the ministers with "mooncakes", which had been used to secretly deliver messages during the uprising, as festive cakes.

Since then, the mooncake has become more and more elaborate, with more varieties, as big as a disk, and has become a good gift. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the custom of eating moon cakes will be spread in folklore.
