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." |
