The LEGEND of
The Mooncake Festival Legend tells the story of the beautiful lunar goddess, Chang’e who was forced to take in the elixir of immortality and flew into the moon for refuge. When her husband Yi discovered what happened, he felt sad. So he displayed the fruits and cakes that Chang’e likes and offered to her. The people who were sympathetic to Chang’e soon began participating in Yi’s activities. This tradition was honored by great emperors and passed down to this day with a festive gathering of thanksgiving, praying and giving of mooncakes, signifying completeness and unity of families.
