What do you mean by the honor of the moon? What do you mean by the laurel of the moon in June?

The moon's folding laurel means osmanthus climbing the moon palace, which is a metaphor for the success of the imperial examination era. Legend has it that there is a jade toad in the Moon Palace, guarding a osmanthus tree. Many people appreciate the sweet-scented osmanthus in the Moon Palace, so "folding sweet-scented osmanthus" is a metaphor for high schools in the imperial examination era. Every examination year, candidates, family and friends steam osmanthus and rice noodles into cakes, which are called Guanghan cakes, and give them to each other, taking the meaning of Guanghan High School.

The origin of the laurel of the moon:

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, Cui Hong, the official minister, recommended him as the left prime minister. Later, when he became the secretariat of Yongzhou, Emperor Wu of Jin asked him what he thought of himself. He said, "I am like Guizhi in the Moon Palace and Baoyu on Kunlun Mountain." A laurel in Guanghan Palace and a Pian Yu in Kunlun Mountain are used to describe particularly outstanding talents, which is the origin of "the laurel of the moon". The moon is the moon palace. Emperor Wu of song laughed and praised him. After the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system prevailed, and the laurel of the moon was used as a metaphor for scholars who passed the examination.

The highest pursuit:

The laurel of the moon is located at the top of the imperial examination pyramid, which is the highest pursuit of fame by ancient students.

Obtaining these titles is the best reward for the ancient literati's "ten years without asking, becoming famous in one fell swoop". It is also the best way for them to gain fame, turn magpies into phoenixes and realize their desire to serve the imperial court. It is the lofty hope of ancient families and society for scholars and the highest prospect for a better future.
