    It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, the one night of the year where the moon is at its roundest! Why do people get together with their families and eat moon cakes on this day? Because "round" in Chinese also means "reunion" 🥮pic.twitter.com/9ocqBiaeiS

        Moon cakes have a ton of origin stories but most of them have to do with how this archer dude Yi got 2 immortality pills to ascend to the heavens with his wife Chang'e, but for some reason Chang'e took them both and rose too far and got stuck on the moonhttps://twitter.com/XiranJayZhao/status/1258157064439783427?s=20 …

        Exhibit 4: Yi the Archer 羿. The 10 sun gods decided to troll humanity by rising all at once, scorching the earth and evaporating the rivers. Got so salty that he whipped out his bow and shot 9 of them down. The final one was like "SHIT, SORRY MAN" and rose on schedule ever since pic.twitter.com/EksmsWiXii

        ALSO did you know Chang'e wasn't originally her name?! It was Heng'e, but the whole Chinese society had to change it because it clashed with this one emperor's name in the Han dynasty.....https://twitter.com/XiranJayZhao/status/1263308758697926657?s=20 …

        Famed Chinese moon goddess Chang'e?? yeah...THAT'S NOT HER ORIGINAL NAME, WHICH IS HENG'E. THEY HAD TO CHANGE HER WHOLE LEGEND DURING THE HAN DYNASTY BECAUSE ONE EMPEROR WAS NAMED "Liu Heng" pic.twitter.com/AVjPUIzzOL

        OH and you're going to see Yi get called Hou Yi everywhere, but that's not his name. Hou Yi was a whole different dude, a tribal leader during the Xia dynasty. But they've been getting confused with each other for like 3 thousand years now so it doesn't really matter lol

        A holiday based on celestial activity, food, and a PUN? That’s the best of all possible holidays.

        Huge numbers? I think that's a problem that solves itself, in time.
