月饼，最初起源于唐朝军队祝捷食品。唐高祖年间，大将军李靖征讨匈奴得胜，八月十五凯旋而归。 当时有人经商的吐鲁番人向唐朝皇帝献饼祝捷。高祖李渊接过华丽的饼盒，拿出圆 饼，笑指空中明月说：“应将胡饼邀蟾蜍”。说完把饼分给群臣一起吃。 南宋吴自牧的《梦梁录》一书，已有“月饼”一词，但对中秋尝月，吃月饼的描述，是明代的《西湖游览志会》才有记载：“八月十五日谓之中秋，民间以月饼相遗，取团圆之义”。到了清代，关于月饼的记载就多起来了，而且制作越来越精细。 月饼象征着团圆，是中秋佳节必食之品。在节日之夜，人们还爱吃些西瓜、水果、柚子等团圆的果品，祈祝家人生活美满、甜蜜、平安。 中秋吃月饼，和端午吃粽子、元宵节吃汤圆一样，是我国民间的传统习俗。古往今来，人们把月饼当作吉祥、团圆的象征。每逢中秋，皓月当空，阖家团聚，品饼赏月，谈天说地，尽享天伦之乐。 月饼，又称胡饼、宫饼、小饼、月团、团圆饼等，是古代中秋祭拜月神的供品，沿传下来，便形成了中秋吃月饼的习俗。 月饼，在我国有着悠久的历史。据史料记载，早在殷、周时期，江、浙一带就有一种纪念太师闻仲的边薄心厚的“太师饼”，此乃我国月饼的“始祖”。汉代张骞出使西域时，引进芝麻、胡桃，为月饼的制作增添了辅料，这时便出现了以胡桃仁为馅的圆形饼，名曰“胡饼”。 唐代，民间已有从事生产的饼师，京城长安也开始出现糕饼铺。据说，有一年中秋之夜，唐太宗和杨贵妃赏月吃胡饼时，唐太宗嫌“胡饼”名字不好听，杨贵妃仰望皎洁的明月，心潮澎湃，随口而出“月饼”，从此“月饼”的名称便在民间逐渐流传开。 北宋皇家中秋节喜欢吃一种“宫饼”，民间俗称为“小饼”、“月团”。苏东坡有诗云：“小饼如嚼月，中有酥和饴。”宋代的文学家周密，在记叙南宋都城临安见闻的《武林旧事》中首次提到“月饼”之名称。 到了明代，中秋吃月饼才在民间逐渐流传。当时心灵手巧的饼师，把嫦娥奔月的神话故事作为食品艺术图案印在月饼上，使月饼成为更受青睐的中秋佳节的必备食品。 明代田汝成《西湖游览记》曰：“八月十五日谓中秋，民间以月饼相送，取团圆之意。”清代，月饼的制作工艺有了较大提高，品种也不断增加，供月月饼到处皆有。 清代诗人袁景澜有一首颇长的《咏月饼诗》，其中有“入厨光夺霜，蒸釜气流液。揉搓细面尘，点缀胭脂迹。戚里相馈遗，节物无容忽……儿女坐团圆，杯盘散狼藉”等句，从月饼的制作、亲友间互赠月饼到设家宴及赏月，叙述无遗。
