Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the custom of feeding moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival has been popular among the people. In the process of exchanging moon cakes and other festivals, family relations and social relations such as relatives, friends and neighbors have been harmonious. In contemporary society, the traditional custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival is to feed moon cakes, which has become a symbol of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and some places call it the Moon Cake Festival.

In the past, moon cakes were mostly made by people themselves. Later, professional workshops appeared in the city, and the production of moon cakes was also specialized. The commercialization of moon cakes provides convenience for people's holiday life, and the joint publicity of merchants and media also creates the atmosphere of modern Mid-Autumn Festival to a certain extent. For traditional festivals, this periodic publicity activity is beneficial.

The value of traditional festivals lies in that they can unite the hearts of the nation, country and society, and it cannot be measured by pure commercial interests.
