Moon cakes symbolize reunion and are necessary sacrifices to worship the moon and the landlords in the Mid-Autumn Festival. The custom of eating moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival was handed down from the end of Yuan Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people planned to rise up against the Mongolian rule, but they could not deliver the message. Later, Liu Bowen came up with a plan and spread rumors everywhere, saying that there was a winter plague epidemic, which could be avoided unless every household bought moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival. People bought moon cakes and went home, only to find that there was a note hidden inside, which read: "Kill Tartars on Mid-Autumn Festival night and welcome the rebels!" " "So many people rebelled against the Mongolian rulers, so the custom of eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival stayed. People in Wuxi usually eat braised rose sugar taro on the morning of Mid-Autumn Festival, which is said to be related to this. According to legend, after Mongolia destroyed the Song Dynasty, the ethnic oppression was deep, and the Han people always wanted to resist. One year, everyone agreed to work together on Mid-Autumn Festival night. In order to get tired of winning, people want to eat braised taro, which symbolizes that the head of "Tatar" fell to the ground. This is the origin of eating sugar taro in Mid-Autumn Festival. This legend changed in Chaoshan: at that time, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty stipulated that every trendy family should live in a Mongolian soldier, with the support of the Han people, to monitor the actions of the Han people, and only three families were allowed to use a kitchen knife. The people hated this, so they took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to eat moon cakes and stuffed the letter of appointment into the stuffing of moon cakes. Chaozhou people's taro is homophonic with "tiger's head" and looks like a human head, so every Mid-Autumn Festival, it is passed down from generation to generation, and it still exists today. There is a custom of eating taro in Mid-Autumn Festival all over Guangdong, which is said to be a historical story to commemorate the killing of Mongols at the end of Yuan Dynasty. After the Mongols were killed in the Mid-Autumn Festival, they offered their heads to the moon, and later they were replaced by taro. Until now, when Cantonese peel taro, it is also called "peeling ghost skin". In addition, the game of burning tile lamp (or burning flower tower, burning tile tower and burning fan tower) is widely circulated in the south, and it is circulated in Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places. For example, Volume 5 of China Folk Customs: "On the Mid-Autumn Festival night in Jiangxi, children usually pick up tiles in the wild and pile them into round towers with holes. At dusk, it is burned in the firewood tower under the bright moon. As soon as the tiles burned red, kerosene was poured on the fire, and suddenly the fields were red and bright as day. It was not until late at night, when no one was watching, that it began to get interested. This is the famous tile-burning lamp. "The tile-burning tower in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province is also a hollow tower made of bricks and tiles, which is filled with branches and burned to ashes. At the same time, it also burns smoke piles, that is, piles of grass and firewood burned after the end of Yue Bai. The fan-burning pagoda in the border area of Guangxi is similar to this kind of activity, but the folklore is to commemorate the heroic battle of Liu Yongfu, a famous anti-French fighter in Qing Dynasty, and burn the ghost (French invader) who escaped into the pagoda to death, which is quite patriotic. There is also a "tower burning boy" activity in Jinjiang, Fujian. Legend has it that this custom is related to the righteous act of resisting the Yuan soldiers. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, it was said that the Han people were subjected to bloody rule, so the Han people fought tirelessly, and every place lit horns on the top of the pagoda during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Similar to the fire on the platform at the top of the mountain, although this resistance was suppressed, the custom of burning pagodas remained. This legend is similar to the legend of eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since 2008, the country has designated the Mid-Autumn Festival as a national statutory holiday. It is not a sensitive choice for a socialist country composed of 56 ethnic groups and under the dictatorship of the proletariat to forcibly stipulate the festivals of a single ethnic group as the festivals of all ethnic groups in the country. Don't change * * * productism into Han chauvinism! Sometimes the truth is often in the hands of a few people, and I don't feel lonely. The lessons of history tell us that the more arrogant a ruling nation is, the easier it is to get hot-headed and go to the opposite side. In this Mid-Autumn Festival celebrated by the whole country, I wish you to eat two more moon cakes!
