"People have their joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. It's difficult to do this in ancient times. I hope people will live long and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart." This sentence vividly expresses the separation and reunion of people under the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival again. Have you traveled thousands of miles to reunite with your family? When it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the most noteworthy thing is the mooncakes. Mooncakes represent reunion. The family sits together, eats mooncakes and enjoys the full moon. Life is very comfortable.

Moon cakes are one of the most famous traditional pastries in our country and are a customary food during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Moon cakes are round and round, and are eaten by the whole family, symbolizing reunion and harmony. In ancient times, mooncakes were eaten as sacrifices during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The mooncakes we usually eat are mooncakes bought outside. They taste very sweet and sometimes feel a bit greasy. We often end up not wanting to eat half or even half of them.

In fact, we can make mooncakes at home. The mooncakes are crispy and sweet, with thin skin and enough filling, so they taste very delicious. As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Xiao Dong makes mooncakes at home to share the joy of reunion with his family. Let’s take a look at the specific methods below.
