The children pick up the lanterns while we bring out the mooncakes and brew ourselves a steaming, comforting pot of tea. It has long been known that Mid-Autumn Festival is a time-honoured tradition. But why exactly do we celebrate the occasion, and why with mooncakes? From heart-wrenching love stories to riveting wartime tales, let us at <a href=\"https:\/\/eats.oddle.me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color:#d2100b\" class=\"tadv-color\"><strong>Oddle Eats<\/strong><\/span><\/a> tell you about the significance behind this yearly tradition we hold dear. Plus, read on for our recommended mooncake deliveries for your festivities!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-not-romeo-and-juliet-but-still-star-crossed-lovers\"><strong>Not Romeo and Juliet, but still star-crossed lovers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is probably&nbsp;<em>the<\/em>&nbsp;mid-autumn fable you&#8217;re familiar with\u2014yes, it&#8217;s the one with Chang&#8217;er and Hou Yi. You probably read about it when you were a wee little one in primary school. According to Chinese folklore, archer Hou Yi shot down 9 out of 10 suns that revolved around the earth, saving precious crops that were being destroyed by the extreme heat. For his gallant efforts, he was rewarded with an immortality elixir that would grant him godly status in heaven. Despite this great reward, Hou Yi chose to stay on Earth as he wanted to be with his wife, Chang&#8217;er.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, things went awry when&nbsp;Hou Yi&#8217;s disciple tried to steal the elixir. To prevent the elixir from falling into the wrong hands, Chang&#8217;er swallowed the elixir in the heat of the moment, and ascended to the moon. Unable to come back to earth, she remained on the moon as a heavenly deity, torn apart from Hou Yi.&nbsp;From then on, Hou Yi (the O.G Jay Gatsby) ignited the yearly tradition of Mid-Autumn Festival, where mooncakes are displayed and lanterns are lit in Chang&#8217;er&#8217;s honour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-house-of-cards-ming-dynasty-edition\"><strong><em>House of Cards<\/em>, Ming Dynasty edition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This next mooncake fable has the makings of a riveting Netflix series, with&nbsp;Yuan Dynasty rebel leader Zhu Yuan Zhang using mooncakes as a tool for political uprising against the Mongol empire. Under the facade of a celebration, Zhu distributed thousands of mooncakes to the people of Mongol. Each mooncake contained a secret note that said &#8220;<em>On the 15th day of the 8th month, kill the Mongols<\/em>&#8220;. Zhu&#8217;s attempt proved successful. The people rallied to overthrow the Mongol empire on that very day, marking the start of the Ming Dynasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even as the mid-autumn traditions have slowly evolved and changed over centuries, these folktales continue to be passed on from one generation to another. Whether or not we believe in these fables, we continue to treasure the spirit of gathering and reunion felt during Mid-Autumn Festival. Just like the full moon, the round mooncake symbolises unity and prosperity. This is why the tradition of gifting and eating mooncakes is still ubiquitous and popular in modern times.&nbsp;Even with evolving traditions and refreshing new flavours (think <em>bandung<\/em> or <em>orh nee<\/em>) changing up the mooncake game, one thing remains constant: the Mid-Autumn festival is a time for families to gather together, enjoy mooncakes, and celebrate love and kinship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-favourite-mooncakes-delivered-island-wide\"><strong>Your favourite mooncakes, delivered island-wide<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for luxurious and delicious mooncakes to ring in the sweet festivities, check out <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eats.oddle.me\/?utm_source=oddleblog&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=Mooncake%20Origin%20Story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color:#d2100b\" class=\"tadv-color\">Oddle Eats<\/span><\/a><\/strong>!
