It is said that as far back as 4000 years ago, Hou Yi, the king of poor countries, was brave and good at shooting, but he was violent in nature, did not care for the sufferings of the people, and made them miserable. Hou Yi wants to live forever. He finds the medicine for longevity from Kunlun Mountain and plans to swallow it on a day.

Customs of Mid Autumn Festival
August 15 of the lunar calendar is the traditional Mid Autumn Festival in China and the second largest traditional festival after the Spring Festival. Also known as Mid Autumn Festival, reunion festival, August Festival, etc., it is a traditional festival of the Han nationality and most ethnic minorities in China, and also popular in neighboring countries such as Korea, Japan and Vietnam. Because the seven, eight and ninety-three months (referring to the lunar calendar) of autumn are in the middle of August, and the thirty days of August are in the middle of the fifteenth day, it is called the Mid Autumn Festival. It is also known as reunion festival because of the vast moon in the sky and the family reunion in the night.

Overthrow the Yuan Dynasty
According to legend, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people of the central plains were unwilling to be under the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Patriots fought against the yuan one after another. Liu Bowen, Zhu Hongwu's military strategist, wanted to disguise himself as a Taoist to sell amulets in various counties. He said that this year's disaster will fall, and those who want to avoid it can hang the sun and moon flag on August 15, which will be hidden in the moon cake. On this day, people everywhere cut big mooncakes and hung up the flags hidden in them. The uprising was so powerful that the people of Yuan Dynasty were surprised. Zhu Hongwu succeeded in one stroke and ended the rule of Yuan Dynasty. Later, the sun and moon flag was the Ming flag. Another similar legend is that there is a piece of paper inside the moon cake, which says "kill the Tartars on August 15 night". When we saw this paper while cutting the moon cake, we all rose up to kill the Tartars, and the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown.
