According to Chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it.

One day, all 10 suns appeared together, scorching the earth with their heat. The

each mooncake was a message with the outline of the attack. On the night of

the Moon Festival, the rebels successfully attacked and overthrew the

government. What followed was the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (A.D.

1368-1644). Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this event.
