LEGENDA KUE BULAN

Festival Kue Bulan adalah tradisi masyarakat Tionghoa yang dirayakan setiap tanggal
limabelas bulan kedelapan Imlek. Festival ini juga dikenal sebagai Festival Pertengahan Musim
Gugur. Masyarakat Tionghoa merayakaan "zhong qiu jie" ketika bulan berada pada puncak
kecerahannya disepanjang tahun. Menurut legenda, Dewi Bulan yang tinggal di istana kaca,
keluar untuk menari dibawah bayang - bayang bulan. Kisahnya berawal ketika pada suatu masa
ada sepuluh matahari bersinar bersamaan diatas langit. Kaisar meminta seorang pemanah
terkenal untuk menembak sembilan diantaranya.
Ketika tugas itu berhasil dilaksanakan, Dewi Surga Barat menghadiahkan sebutir obat
hidup abadi pada sang pemanah. Istri sang pemanah menemukan obat itu tanpa sengaja dan
meminumnya. Karenanya ia lalu diasingkan ke bulan. Menurut legenda, kecantikan istri sang
pemanah mencapai puncaknya pada hari perayaan kue bulan.
Sekarang masyarakat Tionghoa merayakan festival ini dengan tari - tarian dan doa sambil
menikmati keindahan sang bulan, tentunya sambil menyantap kue bulan. Meskipun ada banyak
macam kue pada tradisi Tionghoa, kue bulan hanya dihidangkan pada perayaan kue bulan saja.
Salah satu jenis kue bulan tradisional berisi pasta biji teratai. Dengan besar seukuran telapak
tangan, kue bulan yang padat berisi biasa dipotong menjadi empat lalu dihidangkan. Ada yang
berisi kuning telur asin ditengah, melambangkan bulan purnama dan rasanya sangat lezat.
Jenis yang lain ada yang berisi empat kuning telur (melambangkan empat fase bulan). Disamping
pasta biji teratai, bahan isian lain yang sering dijumpai adalah pasta kacang merah dan kacang
hitam. Ada juga kreasi lain yang eksotis, yaitu kue bulan berisi pasta teh hijau dan kue bulan
berkulit salju (ping pei), salah satu variasi dari Asia Tenggara yang dibuat dari tepung beras
ketan. Karena cara membuatnya yang cukup rumit, kebanyakan orang memilih membeli kue ini
daripada membuatnya sendiri. Anda bisa menemukan kue ini di toko – toko kue khas Asia mulai
pertengahan bulan Agustus.

THE MOONCAKES FESTIVAL

Mooncakes festival is a chinese tradition which held in 15th day of 8th month in lunar calendar
every year. This festival also known as mid-autumn festival in four season’s countries. The celebration
began when the moon is at its maximum brightness for the entire year, the Chinese celebrate "zhong
qiu jie." Children are told the story of the moon fairy living in a crystal palace, who comes out to dance
on the moon's shadowed surface.

The legend surrounding the "lady living in the moon" dates back to ancient times, to a day when
ten suns appeared at once in the sky.

The Emperor ordered a famous archer to shoot down the nine extra suns. Once the task was
accomplished, Goddess of Western Heaven rewarded the archer with a pill that would make him
immortal. However, his wife found the pill, took it, and was banished to the moon as a result. Legend
says that her beauty is greatest on the day of the Mooncakes festival.

Today, Chinese people celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival with dances, feasting and moon
gazing. Not to mention mooncakes. While baked goods are a common feature at most Chinese
celebrations, mooncakes are inextricably linked with the Moon festival. One type of traditional
mooncake is filled with lotus seed paste. Roughly the size of a human palm, these mooncakes are quite
filling, meant to be cut diagonally in quarters and passed around. Some of them has a salty yolk in the
middle, representing the full moon, is an acquired taste.

More elaborate versions of mooncakes contain four egg yolks (representing the four phases of
the moon). Besides lotus seed paste, other traditional fillings include red bean paste and black bean
paste. More exotic creations include green tea mooncakes, and ping pei or snowskin mooncakes, a
Southeast Asian variation made with cooked glutinous rice flour. Given the difficulty of making them,
most people prefer to purchase their mooncakes instead of making them. You'll find them at Asian
bakeries beginning around mid-August.
