In 1280 AD, the Mongolians destroyed the Song Dynasty and controlled China during the Yuan Dynasty (1280AD -1368 AD). Under Mongolian rule, Chinese people were oppressed, persecuted and treated like slaves. Finally, the Chinese had enough and planned a revolution to be held during the August Moon Festival in 1368.
Because Mongolians donÂ’t eat mooncakes, the Chinese planned to overthrow the Mongolians by sending secret messages in mooncakes. Chinese bakers were told to send mooncakes to all Chinese households with the message to execute all Mongolians after the August Moon family gathering. Chinese families were instructed to not to eat the mooncakes until the 15th of the 8th lunar moon. -
Wow Monncakes! Are they new kids on the block?Originally posted by jolin80:
The mooncakes jolin posted look really yummy.
I just had mini red-bean paste mooncakes from Meritus Mandarin. It's totally plain, but I really liked the first bite. I'm not sure what they put in it, but I thought I tasted the sweetness of red dates.
Very fragrant. -
