Is it true that "moon cakes arrive at the mouth and start together" and "Tatar was killed on August 15" in the Yuan Dynasty?

It's true. Moon cakes are one of the traditional delicacies of the Han nationality. Every year on the Mid-Autumn Festival in August 15 of the lunar calendar, the whole family will eat round moon cakes together. The shape of moon cakes symbolizes family reunion and family harmony. Speaking of the origin of moon cakes, there is a well-known story, which is the legend that 15 killed Tatars in August.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolians grew up hunting and grazing on the vast northern grassland, and were able to ride horses, shoot, stand and fight bravely. After good training, these horses became brave and skilled grassland cavalry. 1206, Temujin, a Mongolian aristocrat headed by Genghis Khan in Yuan Dynasty, crossed the north, south and northwest of Europe and Asia, and finally reached the Volga River basin in Eastern Europe.

Later, when he came back, he wiped out Western Liao, Western Xia, Jin Dynasty, Tubo and Dali, and unified Mongolia. At the end of the Song Dynasty, Chinese mainland was in a period of chaos, corruption, incompetence and chaos in the imperial court, and the military discipline was lax. 127 1 year, Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty established the capital of the Han Dynasty, defeated the Southern Song Dynasty, established Yanjing as its capital, renamed Dayuan, and established the Yuan Dynasty. Kublai Khan became the foreign emperor of China.

Mongolian Tatars are barbaric and immoral. The Yuan Dynasty ruled the Han nationality areas in the Central Plains very strictly. In order to prevent the Han uprising, ten Han people have a Tatar to take care of them, and ten Han people have a Tatar. Tatars are more noble than their own ancestors. Good things will be eaten and used by them first. If they don't agree, they will insult you, even kill you, and there is no place for revenge. Usually three friends and four friends get together, or two people whisper in one place. You should provoke him. He falsely accused you of disobedience, and even you lost your life. So by that time, it was dark and all the lights were blown out, and no one dared to wander around to avoid disaster.

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, wanted to unite the whole country in the war of resistance. However, the officers and men of the Yuan Dynasty searched carefully, but could not deliver the message. Liu Bowen, a military strategist, came up with a plan to make round pancakes, which are wrapped in walnuts and filled with sugar. He hid the paper that read "On the night of August 15, the moon killed the Tatar" in an undercooked pancake. Even if the moon cake is baked with fire, the paper inside will not be bad. I will send moon cakes to all parts of the country and learn the news of the uprising on the evening of August 15. Because there are too many people in China, it took 12 years to deliver moon cakes. On the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, 65,438+03,68, the whole country killed Tatars and overthrew the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty. In the same year, the Ming army occupied Dadu, the Yuan Dynasty withdrew from the Central Plains, and Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty. In order to commemorate this achievement, the custom of eating moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival has also been passed down.
