In ancient China, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was the most elegant in the court. For example, eating crabs was very popular in the court of the Ming Dynasty. After steaming the crabs with cattail, everyone sat around and tasted them, served with wine and vinegar. Drink Su Ye Tang after eating and wash your hands with it. The banquet table was filled with flowers, pomegranates and other fashionable things, and the Mid-Autumn Festival drama was staged. In the Qing Palace, a courtyard placed a screen to the east, with cockscomb flowers, soybean crafts, taro, peanuts, radishes and fresh lotus roots on both sides of the screen. There is a square table in front of the screen, with an extra-large moon cake on it, surrounded by cakes and fruits. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, mooncakes are cut into several pieces according to the royal population, and each person symbolically tastes them, which is called "eating reunion cakes". The size of moon cakes in Qing Palace is unimaginable. For example, the moon cakes given by the last emperor to the Minister of the Interior are "about two feet in diameter and weigh about twenty pounds".

Playing male prostitute is a popular Mid-Autumn Festival custom in northern China. The custom of male prostitutes playing Mid-Autumn Festival began in the late Ming Dynasty. "Old Beijing" celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival, besides eating moon cakes, there is also the custom of male prostitutes. "Male prostitute" rabbit head, wearing armor, wearing a flag, sitting or standing, or clubbing or riding an animal, with two big ears. At first, "male prostitute" was used for Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai. In the Qing Dynasty, "male prostitutes" gradually transformed into children's Mid-Autumn Festival toys.

In the Ming Dynasty, the remaining manuscript of Kaoting: "The Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing is mostly in the shape of mud rabbits, disguised as human figures, and worshipped by children." By the Qing dynasty, the function of male prostitutes had changed from offering sacrifices to the moon to children's Mid-Autumn Festival toys. Rabbits are made of mud. The rabbit head is armored, flags are inserted to protect its back, its face is covered with gold mud, and it is also harmonious to paint, sit or stand, pound or ride a beast, and its two big ears stand upright. "Yanjing Years Old": "Every Mid-Autumn Festival, smart people in the city make a toad and rabbit statue out of loess to sell, and call it a prostitute." In the Qing Dynasty, the court called the Jade Rabbit on the moon Taiyin Jun. However, Beijingers called it a male prostitute. In the folk customs around Beijing, the Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice to male prostitutes is actually not so solemn, but more of a game.
