Activity question : [The ancients also loved to eat! 】Which ancient celebrity named mooncakes?
Correct answer : D. Yang Guifei
Which ancient celebrity named mooncakes? According to historical records, as early as the Yin and Zhou dynasties, there was a kind of "Taishi cake" with thin edges and thick heart in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas to commemorate Taishi Wenzhong. This is the "ancestor" of Chinese mooncakes. When Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty was on his mission to the Western Regions, he introduced sesame seeds and walnuts to add auxiliary ingredients to the making of mooncakes. At this time, round cakes filled with walnut kernels appeared, called "Hu cakes". On a moonlit Mid-Autumn night in the early years of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang were admiring the moon and eating Hu cakes together under the bright moonlight. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty disliked the name of mooncakes, so Concubine Yang named the mooncakes in order to please the emperor.
Why is it called moon cake? Concubine Yang replied: There is only one word difference between Hu cake and moon cake, but the two names have different meanings. Calling it Hu Cake will not put His Majesty in the eyes; changing its name to Moon Cake will let the gods in the sky know His Majesty's piety, which will benefit greatly in the future practice of Taoism. />
