Fortune Cookie
Why I chose the fortune cookie for one of my sorces is because during the 13th and 14th centuries, China was taken over by Mongols. The story goes that the Mongols had no taste for Lotus Nut Paste. So, the Chinese people hid sayings written with the date of their revolution inside the Moon Cakes. After that the Moon Festival became regularly celebrated. Part of that tradition was the passing out of cakes with sayings inside them. Thats why i think it's so important.
Chinese Money Bag
The reason the chinese money bags or also called Ang-poh are so important is because they are given to children, single adults and the elderly, and for children this is often the most exciting part of the celebration. A child with many uncles and aunties can potentially collect a lot of money from their ang-poh gifts. They are little red packets with new currency notes inside of them. They are a big part of the childrens celebration in the Spring Festival and thats why they are so important.
