Why Do We Eat Mooncakes During The Mid-Autumn Festival? | SAYS In A Nutshell

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Ever wonder why we eat mooncakes? 🥮
Chinese people send mooncakes to each other every Zhōng Qiū Jié, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the lantern or mooncake festival.
There are a few famous tales about the custom’s origins. One of them being mooncakes were used to hide notes. It contained the date of a revolt against the Yuan Dynasty, which eventually helped the Han Chinese overthrow their Mongolian rulers.
But the most famous folklore would be the love story between Chang’e and heroic archer Hou Yi.
By giving out mooncakes to your friends and family, you’re wishing them long life and happiness.

How many have I eaten? About 4 already hahaha. Nowadays it's easier to find a variety of flavour and halal one too. Personally, my fav will always be the red bean paste one. Nothing can beat that.

*Nina Wu* : I thought you were too full *Kenny Wu* : _( Eating a mooncake )_ This mooncake is so good ! I think I owe Shen an apology. I didn't mean to be rude to him. It was just when I saw these mooncakes it was like I was a... boy again... And then I felt guilty that I grew up turning back on all this. I don't want to do that anymore. *Nina Wu* : You didn't do it alone *Kenny Wu* : I want us to be a Chinese American family *Nina Wu* : Can I have a bit ? *Kenny Wu* : No *Nina Wu* : Kenny... _( They laugh, tease each other and eat a mooncake )_ *Kenny Wu* : It's so strange... In one night this long-lost relative comes into our lives and in one evening he gives your mother a little piece of the old country, gives Peter a football move, find some missing pieces in your work and opens my eyes to something we've been missing. *Nina Wu* : It's wonderful, isn't it ? *Kenny Wu* : Yeah. It's just a little sad because I don't think Wendy will get anything out of this

Title: Why Do We Eat Mooncakes? Me: Cuz it's tasty. That said, mooncake (we call it kue pia here where I live) is an everyday snack here, at least before pandemic. A family member sent us a box for new year, and that's the last I ate one. I wish I could eat it again soon... 😥

Seems That's What's For Mid-Fall-Festival.

[@mochichichi2458]

I used to hate the filling with salted egg yolk but this year was the first time I didn't hate it
