There is a significant historical story surrounding the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the Yuan dynasty in the 14th Century, Chinese rebels overthrew the Mongolians, stuffing the rebellious messages to them in the moon cake, and the secret messages were smuggled to the revolutionists. A short time after that, Mongolia was overthrown and Ming dynasty was born. Today, things are much tamer and the mooncakes are given to friends and relatives during the festival.
