这一天也被认为是一个丰收节，因为水果，蔬菜和粮食已经收获了这个时候，食物丰富。院子里的祭坛上摆着供品。苹果、梨、桃子、葡萄、石榴（石榴）、西瓜、橘子和柚子（柚子）可能会看到。这个节日的特殊食品包括月饼，芋头（芋头）和水caltrope（菱角），一种像黑水牛角的菱角。有些人坚持把煮熟的芋头包括在内，因为在创造的时候，芋头是在月光下发现的第一个食物。所有这些食品，但不能忽略中秋节。圆圆的月饼，直径和一个半英寸厚约三英寸，类似于西方的'水果蛋糕味道和浓度。这些蛋糕与瓜子了（西瓜子）、莲子（莲籽）、杏仁（杏仁），肉馅、豆沙、橘子皮和猪油（猪油）。金色的蛋黄（蛋黄）从咸水鸭的蛋被放置在每个蛋糕的中心，和金棕色的壳装饰的节日符号。传统上，十三个月饼被堆放在一个金字塔，象征着一个“完整的一年十三个月，即十二个月加一闰（闰月的）的月亮。了，中秋节是汉族和少数民族的传统节日。月亮崇拜的习俗可以追溯到古代的夏商时期（公元前20xx年—公元前1066年）。在周朝（公元前1066年-公元前221年），人们举行仪式迎接冬季和崇拜月亮每当中秋节庆集。在唐代就非常盛行（公元618-907年），人们喜欢和崇拜的满月。在南宋（1127-1279年），但是，人们把月饼给他们的亲戚为他们最好的家庭团聚的愿望表达的礼物。天黑时，他们会仰望满银的月亮，或去湖边观光庆祝节日。自明（公元1368-1644年）和清朝（1644-1911aD.），庆祝中秋节的习俗变得空前流行。一起庆祝出现在全国各地的一些特殊的习俗，如烧香（熏香），种植中秋树、照明塔灯笼舞火龙。然而，在月球下玩耍的习俗不像以前那么流行了，但欣赏明亮的银色月亮并不那么流行。每当节日，人们会期待在充分银月亮，喝着酒，庆祝他们的幸福生活，或思考他们的亲戚和朋友远离家乡，并延长其最良好的祝愿。月饼月饼有这样的故事，月饼。在元朝（公元1280-1368）中国是由蒙古人民统治。从前面的宋代领导人（公元960-1280）在提交给外国统治不满，并设置如何协调叛乱而不被发现。起义的领导人知道中秋节即将来临，于是下令制作特制的蛋糕。每个月饼的背面都有一个有攻击轮廓的信息。在中秋节的晚上，反叛者成功地依附并推翻了政府。今天，吃月饼是为了纪念这个传说，被称为月饼。一代又一代，月饼有坚果甜馅料，红豆泥，莲子糊和大枣（枣子），酥皮包裹。有时在熟味甜点的中间可以找到熟蛋黄。人们把月饼比喻为在英国节日期间供应的葡萄干布丁和水果蛋糕。
