中国小历史
Mooncakes were originally used as offerings during the moon worshiping festival, and like most aspects of Chinese traditional holiday’s they have become completely mixed up and intertwined into one big mess.
This story became linked with moon worshipping and harvest festivals and is now also deeply embedded not only in the Chinese Mid-Autumn festival but also the Korean and Japanese Chuseok and Tsukimi Autumn Harvest festivals as well.
In mythology, a lunar deity is a god or goddess associated with or symbolizing the moon. These deities can have a variety of functions and traditions depending upon the culture, but they are often related to or an enemy of the solar deity. Even though they may be related, they are distinct from the solar deity. Lunar deities can be either male or female, but are usually held to be the opposite sex of the corresponding solar deity.
