Anonymous users2024-02-04According to historical records, as early as the Yin and Zhou dynasties, there was a kind of "Taishi cake" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to commemorate Taishi Wenzhong, which was the "ancestor" of Chinese moon cakes. The first one made is not recorded.
It is said to have originated in the Tang Dynasty. "Luozhong Experience" once recorded: During the Mid-Autumn Festival Xinke Jinshi Qujiang Banquet, Tang Xizong asked people to send moon cakes to reward Jinshi.
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 symbolizes reunion, reflecting people's good wishes for family reunion, and also 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".
Su Dongpo has a poem: "Small cakes are like chewing the moon, and there are crisps and joys."
The Southern Song Dynasty Wu Zimu's book "Menglianglu" already has the word "moon cake", but the description of the Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation and eating moon cakes is recorded in the Ming Dynasty's "West Lake Excursion Journal": "August 15 is called the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the folk leave each other with moon cakes to take the righteousness of reunion." In the Qing Dynasty, there were more records about moon cakes, and the production became more and more elaborate.
The Song Dynasty writer Zhou Mi mentioned the name of "moon cake" for the first time in "Wulin Old Things", which recounted what he saw and heard in Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival gradually spread among the people. At that time, the ingenious baker printed the mythical story of Chang'e running to the moon as a food art pattern on the moon cakes, making the moon cakes a must-have food for the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was more popular with the people.
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 of Beijing, Tianjin, Suzhou, Guangzhou, and Chao have been formed, and many local folk customs have been produced around the Mid-Autumn Festival moon worship and moon appreciation, such as the "Bu Zhuangyuan" in the south of the Yangtze River: the moon cake is cut into three large, medium and small pieces, stacked together, and the largest is placed below, which is the "champion"; The medium one is placed in the middle, which is the "list eye"; The smallest one is on top, for "Tanhua".
Then the whole family rolls the dice, and whoever has the most numbers is the champion and eats a large piece; In turn, it is the list eye, the flower, and the game is fun.
