Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has had customs such as moon sacrifice, moon viewing, moon worship, and eating moon cakes, which have been passed down to this day and have lasted for a long time. Mooncake is one of the traditional Chinese pastries, ancient mooncakes were eaten as sacrifices during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is said that the custom of eating mooncakes began in the Tang Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, it was popular in the court, and later spread to the people, which was commonly known as "small cake" and "moon tuan" at that time, and developed into a common custom of the whole people in the Ming Dynasty.
