There has been a custom of eating mooncakes in China since ancient times. It is said that the term "mooncake" originated from Emperor Taizong of Tang. It is said that one Mid Autumn Festival night, Emperor Taizong and Yang Guifei enjoyed the moon and ate Hu Bing. Emperor Taizong thought the name "Hu Bing" didn't sound good, and Yang Guifei looked up at the bright moon with a surge of emotion and casually came up with the name "mooncake". Since then, the name "mooncake" has gradually spread among the people. In the Ming Dynasty, eating mooncakes during the Mid Autumn Festival gradually spread among the people, and with the story of Chang'e flying to the moon, mooncakes became a more popular essential food for the Mid Autumn Festival. In the Qing Dynasty, the production process of mooncakes improved significantly, and the variety of mooncakes continued to increase, making mooncakes available everywhere
