A Glimpse into Mooncake's Rich Tapestry of History

 

The Mid-Autumn festival, frequently termed the 'Mooncake festival', is an event that occurs on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. Historically marking the onset of the fall season and harvest time, it is one of reverence and gratitude. Over time, its significance has endured and evolved, still celebrated widely as a time for family reunions.

 

 

Mooncakes themselves boast a fascinating tale. Originating from Taishi cakes during the Shang and Zhou dynasty, they have undergone various transformations. From sesame seeds and walnuts introduced during the Han dynasty, which brought about the Hu cake, to the late Yuan Dynasty's intriguing revolt against the Mongols, orchestrated ingeniously using mooncakes. Over the centuries, they have been a witness to China's evolving history and have in many ways, been central to it.
