What food is made for the Chinese Moon Festival?

Moon Cakes

Mooncakes are eaten during the Chinese Moon Festival. Mooncakes are believed date back at least to the Yuan dynasty (CE 1280-1368), and are credited with helping to bring about a rebellion. The legend says that a Han Chinese rebel leader named Liu Fu Tong, wanted to coordinate a rebellion against the foreign ruling Mongolian people. Liu devised a plan to sneak messages in through the mooncakes, with instructions to the Han Chinese to strike. Today, mooncakes are eaten to commemorate the success of this plan.
