Full Moon, Full Feelings
Chinese people have been celebrating Mid-
Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for
centuries. Mooncakes are in the shape of a full
moon on the Mid-Autumn night. They carry
people’s wishes to the families they love and miss.
There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him magic medicine to thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drink it with Chang’e. However, a bad man, Peng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She
became very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back!
After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing
mooncakes with their families.

It is said that there was an extremely tall laurel tree on the moon and a man called Wu Gang was ordered to cut down the tree as a punishment for offending the god of heaven. He was not allowed to go home until he could cut down the tree. But the problem was that each time he cut down the tree, it would quickly grow back, making it impossible for him to cut it down. Like Chang'e, he had no choice but to cut the tree on the moon forever.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Moon Cake Uprising
The custom of eating mooncakes on Mid-Autumn Festival is said to have begun in the end of Yuan Dynasty. One day, Zhu Yuanzhang’s military counselor (军师) thought of an idea, and ordered his subordinates (下级) to hide paperslips with "Uprising on August 15" on them in mooncakes. Then, the mooncakes were distributed among armies in different places, asking them to support the uprising on the night of August 15. After the successful uprising, Zhu was so happy that he allowed his men to celebrate the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival with the common people eating mooncakes.
