Wuren is a kind of stuffing for traditional Chinese cakes (such as moon cakes). It is made by frying five kinds of materials, namely walnut kernel, almond, peanut kernel, melon seed kernel and sesame seed, peeling and crushing, and finally adding white sugar. In ancient China, there were five moral principles of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faithfulness", and "five benevolence" was just a homonym.

In the Ming Dynasty, eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival gradually spread among the people. At that time, ingenious bakers printed the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon's fairy tales on mooncakes as food art drawings, making mooncakes a necessary food for the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the court, moon cakes have also become a common food.

In the Qing Dynasty, eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival has become a common custom, and the production skills are getting higher and higher. Yuan Mei, a Qing dynasty, introduced in Suiyuan Food List: "Crispy moon cakes are filled with pine nuts, walnuts, melon seeds, rock sugar and lard, which are not sweet, fragrant, soft and greasy, which is unusual." Moon cakes in Beijing are the first made by Qianmen Zhimeizhai. Throughout the country, five flavor series of Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Guangzhou and Chaozhou have been formed, and many local folk customs have also emerged around the Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai and enjoying the moon.
