Mooncake introduction:

The dietary customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month of the Han people. Su Dongpo, a great poet of the Song Dynasty, praised moon cakes in a poem: "Small cakes are like chewing the moon, with crispy and sweet fillings in them." From this, we can see that moon cakes in the Song Dynasty were filled with butter and sugar. In the Yuan Dynasty, it is said that people took advantage of the opportunity to give mooncakes as gifts and put notes in the mooncakes, agreeing to act simultaneously on August 15th to kill and drive away the Mongolian "Tatars". By the Ming Dynasty, the custom of eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival became more common.

The "Wanshu Miscellaneous Notes" written by Shenbang of the Ming Dynasty records: "The furniture of the common people was made of moon cakes, ranging in size, and they were called moon cakes." "Zhuizhong Zhi" said: "In August Begonias and hostas are admired in the palace. From the first day of the lunar month, mooncakes are sold, and on the 15th, every family offers mooncakes and fruits. No matter what, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important festival. They are collected in a dry and cool place and used at the end of the year, which is called reunion cake." After the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the custom of eating and giving moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival became more and more popular, and moon cakes had the symbolic meaning of "reunion".

From the Qing Dynasty to modern times, mooncakes have made new developments in quality and variety. Differences in raw materials, preparation methods, shapes, etc. make mooncakes more colorful, forming distinctive varieties such as Beijing style, Soviet style, and Cantonese style. Mooncakes are not only a unique holiday food, but also become a popular pastry for all seasons.
