According to legend, eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Yuan Dynasty and was inseparable from Xu Da. At that time, the broad masses of the people in the Central Plains could not bear the cruel rule of the ruling class in the Yuan Dynasty and rose up against the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang joined forces with various resistance forces to prepare for the uprising.

However, the officers and men of the imperial court searched very closely, and it was very difficult to pass on the news. Strategist Liu Bowen came up with a plan, ordered his men to hide the note of "August 15th uprising" in the cake, and then sent people to the uprising troops in different places to inform them to respond to the uprising on August 15th night. On the day of the uprising, all the rebels responded together.

Soon, Xu Da captured the Yuan Dynasty and the uprising was successful. When the news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he quickly sent a message saying that all the soldiers should have fun with the people in the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival and give the "moon cakes" secretly sent at the time of the war as seasonal cakes to the ministers. Since then, the making of "moon cakes" has become more complicated and varied. Since then, the custom of eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people.

" Zhao Gou's "Zhao Wen", Yue Fei was forced to accept.
