In the late Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368 AD), people in many countries couldn't bear the cruel rules of the government, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, wanted to organize an uprising. However, due to the narrow search by government. It was very difficult to pass messages. The conselor name Liu Bowen, had a great idea to hide notes in mooncakes and sent them to different resistance forces. THe uprising turned out to be really sucessful. SInce then, eating mooncakes has been a custom on Mid-Autumn Festival.
