According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August is the second month of autumn, which was called Zhongqiu in ancient times, and is therefore called Mid-Autumn Festival among the people. It is also known as Autumn Eve, August Festival, Mid-August, Moon Eve, and Moon Festival. Because the moon is full on this day, symbolizing reunion, it is also called Reunion Festival. There are many customs during the Mid-Autumn Festival, such as eating moon cakes, appreciating the moon, admiring osmanthus flowers, and guessing lantern riddles. The Mid-Autumn Festival is an ancient festival, and worshiping and appreciating the moon are important customs of the festival. Ancient emperors had a social system of worshiping the sun in spring and the moon in autumn, and ordinary people also had the custom of worshiping the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival. Later on, appreciating the moon became more important than offering sacrifices to the moon, and the solemn moon worship turned into a relaxed entertainment. The custom of appreciating the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival was at its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and many poets' famous works include verses about the moon. The moon-worshiping and moon-appreciating activities were more large-scale in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties. There are still many ancient monuments of "Moon Worship Altars", "Moon Worship Pavilions" and "Moon Viewing Towers" remaining in various parts of China. The "Moon Altar" in Beijing was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty for the royal family to worship the moon. Whenever the Mid-Autumn moon rises, a table is set up in the open air, and moon cakes, pomegranates, dates and other fruits are placed on the table. After worshiping the moon, the whole family sits around the table, eating and talking while appreciating the bright moon together. Nowadays, the moon worship activities have been replaced by grand and colorful moon-viewing and recreational activities for the masses. How to eat mooncakes more healthily?1. Eat less mooncakes, not more <br /> Mooncakes contain a lot of oil and sucrose. Even if they are low in fat and sugar, they still contain flour and other ingredients. Excessive consumption will produce a greasy feeling, easily causing stomach fullness and bloating, causing indigestion and increased blood sugar. Elderly people should pay attention to this.2. Mooncakes should not be eaten with drinks or porridge <br /> Some people are afraid that mooncakes are too dry, so they eat them with porridge or drinks. However, nutritionists say that mooncakes, porridge, and sweet drinks contain a lot of sugar, which will quickly increase blood sugar, which is not good for human brain cells and will also reduce fat metabolism, making it easy to gain weight. It is recommended to eat them with tea to remove oil and relieve greasiness. 3. It is better to eat mooncakes early rather than late <br /> It is best to eat mooncakes in the morning or at noon. Eating mooncakes in the morning can replenish the energy needed in the morning and is not easy to gain weight. You should eat less or no mooncakes at night, especially the elderly. 4. Mooncakes should be fresh rather than stale <br /> During festivals, people often buy many mooncakes at a time, but if mooncakes are left for too long, the fillings will deteriorate. Therefore, it is best to eat mooncakes as soon as you buy them, and the leftover mooncakes should be properly stored. 5. Mooncakes should not be stored in the refrigerator . <br /> Under low temperature conditions, starch will age, making the mooncakes hard and taste worse. It is best to store mooncakes in a cool and dry place indoors, and be careful not to store them for too long. |
