Why do we cut mooncakes into pieces? It's not because they are too big.

Why do we cut mooncakes into pieces? It's not because they are too big.

In addition to symbolizing reunion, eating mooncakes in pieces also has a more direct function - preventing excessive intake (it is recommended not to consume more than 100g of mooncakes per day). After all, many mooncakes now weigh 150g.

Nowadays, in addition to eating mooncakes, taking a holiday is also one of the reasons we look forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is not exclusive to modern times. In the Tang Dynasty, it was stipulated that there would be a three-day holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was also a one-day holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday was cancelled, and in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the number of holidays was even more drastic, and many traditional festivals were no longer holidays.

We are happier

Our country has designated the Mid-Autumn Festival as a legal holiday since 2008. If it is combined with the weekend, we can have three days off, which is great!
