中秋食芋艿的傳統(tǒng)可上溯至清朝。在江蘇和浙江省，“芋艿”這個(gè)詞的發(fā)音與“運(yùn)來”相同。人們就相信中秋食芋艿能讓這一整年能辟邪消災(zāi)，好運(yùn)連連，財(cái)運(yùn)亨通。

The tradition of eating Taro during Mid-Autumn Festival first started during the Qing Dynasty (1636-1912). In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, the word "taro" has the same pronunciation as "luck is inside." Eating them during the festival is believed to dispel any bad luck and bring good luck and wealth throughout the year.
