== General description == Most mooncakes consist of a thick, tender pastry skin enveloping a sweet, dense filling, which may contain one or several whole salted [[egg yolks]] in the center to symbolize the full moon. Depending on the custom, mooncakes may also be steamed, baked, or fried. Traditional mooncakes have an imprint on top consisting of the [[Chinese character]]s for "[[longevity]]" or "harmony", as well as the name of the bakery and the filling inside. Imprints of the Moon, the [[Chang'e|Chinese goddess of the Moon (Chang'e)]], flowers, vines, or a rabbit (symbol of the Moon) may surround the characters for additional decoration.
