What is the red and green silk of Wuren moon cake?

In fact, the red and green silk in it is the rose silk and green apricot silk in earlier years, which is an exquisite practice of palace snacks. It was even more famous in the Republic of China, but, yes, it came, but in a special era, because of insufficient food, several big manufacturers of moon cakes directly changed the red and green silk into something dyed after dried tangerine peel.

No wonder orange peel has been replaced with shredded rose and apricot, but I really don't know why mooncake makers still like to put this kind of thing.
