Mid-Autumn Memories in a Shanxi Mooncake

The Guo Du Lin Mooncake from Taiyuan's time-honored brand "Shuang He Cheng" originated from a serendipitous creation by three masters named Guo, Du, and Lin. The cake is brown-red with unique "ripple" patterns, and the filling combines sesame, walnuts, peanuts, green plums, and osmanthus, creating a rich aroma and complex texture. Each bite carries the legacy of a century of skill and dedication.  

晋中空心月饼：薄皮空腔见真章

Jinzhong Hollow Mooncake: Thin Skin, Hollow Delicacy

晋中地区的空心月饼，外形圆鼓，表皮金黄，内里中空，仅覆一层薄薄的红糖馅料。皮薄酥脆，馅甜不腻，轻咬即碎，仿佛中秋月影，清浅却令人回味。

The Hollow Mooncake from the Jinzhong region is plump in shape with a golden-yellow surface. Its interior is hollow, lined only with a thin layer of brown sugar filling. The skin is thin and crispy, the filling sweet but not overwhelming—it crumbles at the slightest bite, evoking the subtle yet memorable reflection of the mid-autumn moon.  

晋城柴火月饼：果木熏香的自然馈赠

Jincheng Firewood Mooncake: The Natural Gift of Fruitwood Aroma

在晋城的村落里，柴火月饼是家家户户的手作美味。表面印有吉祥图案，刷上特制柿糖水，再用山间的柿木、梨木为柴烘烤，使得月饼带上淡淡的果木清香。这是山野的味道，也是故乡的记忆。

In the villages of Jincheng, Firewood Mooncakes are a homemade specialty. Adorned with auspicious patterns and brushed with a special persimmon sugar glaze, they are baked using firewood from local persimmon or pear trees, imparting a subtle fruity fragrance. This is the taste of the mountains and fields, and the memory of home.  

十里不同风，百里不同俗。山西的月饼不仅是中秋的味觉符号，更是山西人情感的寄托与文化的传承。这个中秋，不妨尝一块山西月饼，在饼香中感受晋风晋韵，共赏一轮明月。

Customs vary within ten miles, traditions differ within a hundred.
