Mid-autumn festival custom
Moon cake uprising
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the ruling class was brutal and corrupt, and insurgents broke out one after another everywhere, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also ready to rise up. However, the officers and men of the imperial court searched very closely and it was very difficult to pass on the news. Liu Bowen, a military adviser, took this matter to heart, ordered his men to hide the note with the words "August 15th Uprising" in the cake, and then sent people to spread it to the uprising troops in various places separately, informing them to respond to the uprising at the same time on August 15th. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, all the resistance forces responded together, and soon a single spark could start a prairie fire. Most of the Yuan Dynasty was captured and the uprising was a great success. Since then, the Mid-Autumn Festival has resumed its former joy.
