Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, every festival in China has its own specific meaning. Mooncakes are shaped like the round moon and are eaten by the whole family on the Mid-Autumn Festival, symbolizing love, harmony and family reunion. Mooncakes can be divided into northern and southern styles, with various flavors from Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Guangzhou and Chaozhou. As far as Guangdong is concerned, Cantonese-style mooncakes are divided into "Five Ren Moon", "Bean Paste Moon", "Lotus Paste Moon", "Fruit Moon" and so on.
Five-nut mooncake can be said to be the Internet celebrity of the previous generation of Cantonese mooncakes. It is mixed with a variety of nuts and tastes extremely rich. It is the favorite of the older generation. But the strange thing is that in the new era of online selection, the five-nut mooncake was listed as a dark mooncake, which still puzzles me.
Red beans are born in the southern country, and they are the most lovesick. The Red Bean Moon is the most romantic month of lovesickness. Red bean paste mooncakes are slightly sweet and slightly sour. In addition to symbolizing love, they also convey the feeling of longing for distant friends. The mouth is soft, dense and long, and every bite is so satisfying.
