The custom of eating moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival: Moon cakes represent family reunion and are an essential food in Mid-Autumn Festival. The custom of eating moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival is said to have been passed down from the end of Yuan Dynasty. When it spread to the Qing Dynasty, the people in the Central Plains were unwilling to accept the terrible ruling of the Mongols and successively created resistance yuan. Zhu Yuanzhang tried to cooperate to resist the energy, but the Yuan soldiers searched hard and bothered to deliver the message. Therefore, Liu Baiwen came up with a plan to order Wang Zhaoguang to produce pancakes and hide the note marked "Rebellion on the 15th of August" in the pancakes. Then let people transport them separately to peasant uprisings all over the country, informing these people to rebel and respond on the night of August 15. Tang Xizong ate moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and found them extremely delicious, so he ordered the Imperial Restaurant to give them to the new scholars with HongLing-encapsulated moon cakes. This may be the first historical record about moon cakes that we can see. In the Song Dynasty, mooncakes were known as "Lotus Leaf", "Golden Bull" and "Magnolia", and their practices were more exquisite. Su Shi, a writer, praised in a poem: "Small cakes are like chewing the moon, containing crispness and satiety." Crisp is a shortcake, and the cake is sugar, and its taste is crisp, sweet and delicious.
The relationship between moon cakes and Chang 'e: People will still look at the moon and see the figures of fairies, moon rabbits, osmanthus trees and Dong Yong in the moon. When we look at the moon, we will inevitably think of the story of the fairy flying to the moon, so many people will be curious about the relationship between Chang 'e and Hou Yi and Dong Yong. In the impression of many people, Chang 'e and Houyi are husband and wife, but they are not. Houyi is not the same person. The fairy's husband's name is Houyi, and the one who shoots the sun is called Houyi. It is precisely because Houyi is a junior of Houyi that she is named Houyi.
Dong Yong and the fairy should be the workplace relationship. After all, in the legend, Dong Yong was punished by the Jade Emperor, so he cut down trees in Guanghan Palace. The legendary osmanthus tree only needs to be cut down once, and the leaves on the tree will automatically grow home, so even if the tree has been cut down for so many years in Dong Yong, nothing has changed. There is also a legend that Dong Yong's wife committed adultery with Boling, the grandson of Emperor Yan and Huangdi, and just killed Bailing in a fit of pique, and then she was exiled to the moon by Emperor Yan and Huangdi to cut down trees. ?
