Chaque année à la Fête de la Mi-Automne, appelée Zhong-qiu-jie en chinois, les familles se rassemblent pour manger des gâteaux de Lune. Cette fête est célébrée le quinzième jour du huitième mois, selon le calendrier lunaire chinois. Mais savez-vous qu’une des origines du gâteau de Lune est en lien avec la protection du territoire ? En effet, pendant la dynastie Yuan, fondée par les envahisseurs mongols, des gâteaux ont été utilisés par les Chinois de la future dynastie Ming, pour cacher des messages secrets. Ces gâteaux circulaient de territoire en territoire, pour indiquer les instructions aux militaires chinois.

I'm going to tell you the story of a little cake that managed to protect a territory.
Listen carefully.
A strategy with a cake?
But how could a cake repel the invaders?
Yes, during the Yuan Dynasty, founded by the Mongol invaders,
cakes were used by the Chinese of the future Ming Dynasty to hide secret messages.
These cakes circulated from territory to territory to indicate instructions to the Chinese military.
Thanks to the cakes, they managed to repel the invaders.
After the victory of the Ming Dynasty, the families were able to reunite.
The soldiers were able to organize their homes, the children found their father,
the women found their husbands and the mothers found their sons.
Cakes have symbolized since that time the values of the traditional family.
In addition, these cakes, which contributed to the victory, have become a symbol of protection.
Each year, at the Mid-Autumn Festival, called Chongqiujie in Chinese,
families gather to eat moon cakes.
It is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month according to the Chinese lunar calendar.
The moon cake is round like the full moon.
This shape symbolizes harmony and family unity,
but also life and the connection between the past and the future.
With the moon, there is always a flash of light.
It is luminous like a lighthouse in the night that illuminates the darkness.
In our life, we all have fights to fight.
Fortunately, just follow this light and it will guide us towards positive thinking.
Thank you all for following this capsule, I hope you enjoyed it.

Bye Bye
