Is Mid-Autumn Moon Cake a Prohibited Item?

Of course, moon cakes are not prohibited items. On the contrary, in China, everyone advocates eating moon cakes, because it is one of the traditional Han delicacies in China. Moreover, the Mid-Autumn Festival is generally a day off, so it's perfect to buy some moon cakes to go home and reunite with your family. For example, my brother, his company sends out a box of moon cakes every Mid-Autumn Festival. Not only the company, but also working in someone else's shop, he will give some moon cakes to his workers on this day. Moon cakes are not expensive, symbolizing reunion. Near this day, many news media will tweet to celebrate this festival. On this day, the most frequently asked question is "Did you eat moon cakes today?" I don't know if other countries prohibit eating moon cakes, but in China, moon cakes are definitely not prohibited.

Of course, this is only for ordinary people. If you are a public official, you are not allowed to accept any gift bonus during the festival. Moon cakes are also gifts, so they are not allowed.
