The word moon cake first appeared in "Meng Liang Lu" by Wu Zimu in the Southern Song Dynasty, but at that time it was just a snack food. Later, people gradually combined moon appreciation with moon cakes, which represented family reunion and longing for each other. At the same time, mooncakes are also an important gift used to connect friends during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Moon cakes, also known as moon cakes, harvest cakes, reunion cakes, etc., are one of the traditional Han Chinese delicacies in China. Moon cakes were originally used as offerings to worship the moon god. Sacrifice to the moon is a very ancient custom in our country. It is actually an activity of worship of the "Moon God" by the ancients. Eating moon cakes and admiring the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival are indispensable customs in the Mid-Autumn Festival in northern and southern China. Moon cakes symbolize reunion, and people regard them as festive food, using them to worship the moon and as gifts to relatives and friends.
