But this is just a myth and legend, not history.

According to historical records, as early as the Yin Dynasty During the Zhou Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty,"Taishi Cake" with thin edges and thick heart was made in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to commemorate Taishi Wen Zhong. This was the"ancestor" of moon cakes, but it was not called moon cakes at that time.

And the word moon cake is said to have originated from

《"Luozhong Insights" once recorded: During the Mid-Autumn Festival in Qujiang, Xizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered people to send moon cakes to reward Jinshi.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was popular in the court, but also spread to the people. At that time, it was commonly known as"small cakes" and"moon balls".

Later, it evolved into a round shape, implying the beauty of reunion, reflecting people's good wishes for family reunion, and also for relatives and friends. Deeply missed.

The royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty liked to eat a kind of"palace cake" during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was commonly known as"small cake" among the people."、""Mooncake"

Su Dongpo has a poem that says:"Small cakes are like chewing the moon, with crisp and sweet taste in the middle." In the book"Mengliang Lu" written by Wu Zimu in the Southern Song Dynasty, the word"mooncake" has been used, but it describes the Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation and eating mooncakes. It was only recorded in the"West Lake Tour Zhihui" of the Ming Dynasty:"The 15th day of August is called the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people use moon cakes to celebrate reunion, which means reunion." By the Qing Dynasty, there were more records about moon cakes, and The production became more and more sophisticated.

Zhou Mi, a writer in the Song Dynasty, mentioned the name"mooncake" for the first time in"Old Wulin Stories", which described what he saw in Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. According to legend

, during the Yuan Dynasty, the people in the Central Plains were unwilling to accept the cruel rule of the Yuan government and revolted one after another. Resist the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to unite the resistance forces, but the officers and soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty searched tightly and had no way to deliver the news.

So Liu Bowen came up with a plan and ordered Wang Zhaoguang to make pancakes and hide the note with"Uprising on August 15th" inside the pancakes.. Then the people were sent to the insurrectionary armies in various places, notifying them to respond to the uprising in the evening of August 15th. Thus, the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown in one fell swoop. In the

Ming Dynasty, eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival gradually became popular among the people. At that time, the ingenious bakers made The mythical story of Chang'e flying to the moon is printed on moon cakes as a food art pattern, making moon cakes a must-have food for the Mid-Autumn Festival that is more popular among people.

In the palace, moon cakes have also become a common food, such as in"Records of Ming Dynasty·Records of Shenzong" It is recorded that the emperor gave mooncakes to ministers ten times.

In the Qing Dynasty, eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival has become a common custom, and the making skills are getting higher and higher.

Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty introduced in"Suiyuan Food List":"Puff-skin mooncakes, with Pine nuts, walnut kernels, melon seeds, rock sugar, and lard are used as fillings. It tastes sweet but fragrant and pine is soft and greasy, which is very unusual."

The mooncakes in Kyoto are made by Qianmen Zhimizhai as the first.

Throughout the country, it has formed the shape of Kyoto, There are five flavor series of Tianjin, Jiangsu, Guangzhou and Chaozhou, and many local folk customs have been produced around the Mid-Autumn Festival to worship and admire the moon, such as the"Bu Zhuangyuan" in Jiangnan: cut the mooncakes into three large, medium and small pieces, stack them together, and the largest The one placed at the bottom is the"number one"; the medium one is placed in the middle and is the"second place"; the smallest one is on the top and is the"third flower". Then the whole family rolls dice, and whoever has the most numbers is the number one winner and eats the big piece; Play games for the second place and the top spot.

Nowadays, mooncakes are even more diverse.

Some have meat inside, some have shredded meat inside.

Some have egg yolk inside.

Others don’t know, but Zhong Jing finds it unpalatable anyway.

There is also fruit pulp. , pork floss, ham, etc.

There is nothing you can’t imagine, but nothing you can’t do. It’s all kinds and variety.

Peanuts, melon seeds, sugar, raisins, etc., it’s so fragrant.

Of course, the taste is different and the feeling is different.
