Is there a custom of eating crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival?The custom of eating crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history.In ancient China, the most elegant Mid-Autumn Festival banquets were held in the palace. For example, eating crabs was popular in the Ming Dynasty court. After the crabs are steamed in cattail bags, everyone sits around and tastes them, accompanied by wine and vinegar. Drink perilla leaf soup after eating and use it to wash hands. The banquet area is surrounded by flowers, large pomegranates and other seasonal fruits, and Mid-Autumn Festival mythological operas are performed. In the Qing palaces, a screen facing east was often placed in a courtyard, with cockscombs, edamame, taro, peanuts, radishes, and fresh lotus roots placed on both sides of the screen. There is an octagonal table in front of the screen, on which is placed an extra-large moon cake, surrounded by cakes and fruits. After the moon worship, the moon cake was cut into several pieces according to the population of the royal family, and each person took a symbolic bite, which was called "eating reunion cake". The size of mooncakes in the Qing Palace is unimaginable. For example, the mooncake that the last emperor Puyi awarded to Shaoying, the Minister of Internal Affairs, was "about two feet in diameter and weighed about twenty pounds." Ancient customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival: playing with the Rabbit God The custom of playing with rabbit gods began around the end of the Ming Dynasty and was popular in Beijing. Ji Kun of the Ming Dynasty (who lived around 1636) wrote in "The Remaining Manuscripts of Huawangge": "During the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing, people often make clay figures of rabbits, which are dressed in human clothes and sit like humans, and are worshipped by children." By the Qing Dynasty, the function of the Rabbit God had changed from offering sacrifices to the moon to becoming a Mid-Autumn Festival toy for children. The rabbit god is made of clay, with a rabbit head and a human body. He is wearing armor and a back flag. His face is covered with gold clay and his body is painted. He may be sitting or standing, pounding a pestle or riding an animal, with two big ears erect, looking both solemn and humorous. "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji" records: "Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the skillful people in the market would use yellow clay to make images of toads and rabbits to sell, and they were called Rabbit Gods." The Qing Dynasty court called the jade rabbit in the moon "Taiyin Jun". However, Beijing people call it Rabbit God. In the folk customs around Beijing, the Mid-Autumn Festival worship of the Rabbit God is less solemn and more like a game. How can one find the destined one in such a vast sea of people?
