Tell me about the legends and stories of moon cakes

The Story of Mooncakes is a work by Bi Shumin. After Chang'e arrived at the Moon Palace, she missed her husband very much, and Hou Yi also thought about it day and night, hoping to see his wife again. One day, an immortal pointed out the method to Hou Yi:

On the night of the full moon on the 15th day of August, make a ball with flour, form a ball like a full moon, and place it in the northwest direction of the house, and then call Chang'e's name continuously, and at the third watch, Chang'e can go home for reunion. Hou Yi did so, and sure enough, he saw Chang'e flying from the moon, and the husband and wife were reunited. The dough made from this flour later evolved into various mooncakes.

It is said that the custom of eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Tang Dynasty, and was popular in the court during the Northern Song Dynasty, and then spread to the people.

Mooncakes are integrated with local food customs, and have developed Cantonese, Beijing, Suzhou, Chao, Yunnan and other mooncakes, which are loved by people in the north and south of China.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, it was popular in the court, but it also spread to the people, and it was commonly known as "small cake" and "moon group" at that time. Later, it evolved into a circle, which means a beautiful reunion, reflecting people's desire to travel for family reunion, and also a deep longing for relatives and friends. The Northern Song Dynasty royal Mid-Autumn Festival likes to eat a kind of "palace cake", which is commonly known as "small cake" and "moon group".

In the Qing Dynasty, eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival has become a common custom, and the production skills are getting higher and higher. Yuan Mei, a Qing dynasty scholar, introduced in "Suiyuan Food List": "Puff pastry moon cakes are filled with pine nuts, walnut kernels, melon seeds, rock sugar and lard, and they are not sweet and fragrant and soft, which is very unusual."

Beijing's mooncakes are made by Qianmen Zhimeizhai first. Throughout the country, five flavor series have been formed: Beijing, Tianjin, Su Shenpai, Guangzhou, and Chao, and many local folk customs have been produced around the Mid-Autumn Festival moon worship and moon appreciation.

The history of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was initially formed in the Tang Dynasty, and at that time there was already a custom of sacrificing the moon and appreciating the moon, but the mainstream of celebration at that time was generally the emperor, **, or literati and ink writers, in short, they were all from the political and literary worlds, and there were few citizens (the political circle was mainly to worship the moon, and the altar was mainly to admire the moon). But history always spirals, and it will only be a matter of time before the minority turns into the masses.

In the Song Dynasty, with the development of the commodity economy, the burgher class was gradually expanded, and at this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival began to be officialized, and various customs began to be perfected, becoming a celebratory festival. In the poem "Water Tune Song Head" by the great writer Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty, Su Shi described the Mid-Autumn Festival as very "romantic", giving people a feeling of great yearning for the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Song Dynasty, which shows that the Song Dynasty people's understanding of the Mid-Autumn Festival has been quite comprehensive and in-depth. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, with the deepening of secularization, the Mid-Autumn Festival has formed a traditional festival that should have everything that should be inclusive, and customs and habits have a more perfect framework.

I think the author has about 1,000 words, and when some people write more than 1,000 words, they don't know what they're writing and can't even read the meaning, so I think the author writes well.

It is said that after Chang'e ran to the moon, she was very disappointed. This Guanghan Palace was deserted, only the Jade Rabbit was with her, and it was accompanied by Wu Gang's voice, sometimes she couldn't sleep, so she could only cry secretly. But who can blame that?

It was caused by Chang'e stealing the elixir, and Chang'e is now really repentant of stealing the elixir.

Every festive season, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year. Chang'e stood alone by the river in the courtyard, the evening breeze blowing slowly, blowing away Chang'e's silk handkerchief, but not Chang'e's thoughts about her family.

Chang'e sighed and sat in the pavilion, and the Jade Rabbit also came and screamed. Chang'e picked up the jade rabbit and stroked the jade rabbit's fur. Yu Yu said:

Jade Rabbit, you're homesick too, aren't you? As she spoke, Chang'e slowly shed two lines of tears. Tears dripped down the Jade Rabbit's body, and the Jade Rabbit screamed, as if comforting her.

Chang'e finally smiled.

Chang'e returned to the room, Chang'e held the brush, watched the ink dye the brush black, and drew a picture of "Falling Leaves in Cold Autumn". Chang'e suddenly felt a little hungry and wanted to eat.

But Chang'e just wanted to eat the cake, so she started to make it. Chang'e brought flour and water, and some bean paste. Chang'e mixed flour and water together, and Chang'e was in a trance and did it indiscriminately.

On the same day, Chang Jue Mo'e stared at the full moon and did it casually. Not sure how long this has been done. Chang'e looked down and saw that the cake had been made into a cylindrical shape, and there was also a lot of bean paste in it.

Chang'e warmed the cake and ate it. Unexpectedly, it tasted surprisingly delicious, and Chang'e quickly finished eating. Chang'e wanted to give this cake a name. Chang'e looked up at the moon and called it a moon cake.

Chang'e thought that Hou Yi would share it with herself every time she had something good, and looking at this moon cake, Chang'e made a lot of moon cakes. Chang'e carved a few patterns on the moon cake, with a blessing in the middle and a line of small characters below: Chang'e.

Chang'e put the moon cake state Qinghe paper with the recipe in a delicate small box, and he thought that Hou Yi could eat the moon cake all the time. Chang'e threw herself towards a grove. She knew that Hou Yi often went to that grove.

Hou Yi suddenly saw a box fall. Hou Yi opened the box and saw the moon cake. Holding moon cakes excitedly. Hou Yi carefully took the moon cake home, and since then, Yi has made many moon cakes for himself every Mid-Autumn Festival, for Chang'e, and for everyone.

The custom of eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival has also been passed down to this day, and moon cakes also symbolize reunion.
