In our country, we should remember everything we eat on festivals and eat moon cakes to commemorate Chang 'e. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the story of a fairy running to the moon. According to historical records, "In the past, fairies took the elixir of life from the Queen Mother, so they went to the moon and became the essence of the moon." The price paid by the fairy for this move is hard labor, and she can't return to the world for life. Although the fairy herself felt the beauty of the moon palace, she could not bear loneliness. She returns to the earth to reunite with "xianggong" on the occasion of the full moon on August 15 every year, but she must return to the moon palace before dawn.

Eating moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival is to celebrate fairies. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, people want to go to the moon to reunite with fairies, hoping that Chang 'e will come down to meet her. Therefore, many people pray that "men would like to leave themoon early, women would like fairies to come down to earth, and the moon is in the sky", when magic returns to Yue Bai. Year after year, they celebrate this day as a holiday. Moon cakes are round, representing family reunion and reflecting people's good wishes for family reunion. It is said that eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival originated in the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, a leading cadre of the Han people at that time, rebelled against the dictatorship of the Qing Dynasty and promised to rebel on August 15th. He put a note in the moon cake to send a message. The custom of eating moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival spread among the people.

August 15th of the lunar calendar is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival every year. This time is the middle and late autumn of the year, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. In China's lunar calendar, a year is divided into four seasons, and each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji, so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called Midspring. The moon on August 15 is rounder and brighter than the full moon in other months, so it is also called "moonlit night" and "August Festival". On this night, we look up at the bright moon in the starry sky and naturally look forward to family reunion. Wanderers in foreign countries also have deep feelings for their relatives in their hometown. Therefore, Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Reunion Festival".

In ancient China, people had the custom of "Twilight in Autumn". The evening moon is the God of Yue Bai. In the Zhou Dynasty, every Mid-Autumn Festival night needed to be held to welcome the cold and worship the moon. Set up a big table, and present gifts such as moon cakes, melons, apples, jujubes, plums and red grapes, among which moon cakes and melons are definitely indispensable. Melons also need to be cut into lotus shapes. Under the moon, the Buddha statue of the moon is placed in the direction of the moon, and the candles are super-burning. The family went to Yue Bai one after another, then the housewife cut the moon cakes and the whole family got together. Cut people have calculated in advance how many people there are in the family, how many people are in the family and how many people are in other places, and they need to be counted together. Can't cut more or less, the size should be the same.
