THE LEGEND OF “BANH CHUNG”

Chung cake was invented by the 18 Prince of Hung Emperor in the contest of looking for new Emperor. According to the legend, 3,000- 4,000 years ago, Prince Lang Lieu, made round and square Cakes, the round Day cake symbolizing the sky and the square Chung cake symbolizing the Earth (under the ancient Vietnamese perception), to be offered on the occasion of Spring.

In the ancient conception, the Earth is square, hence Chung cake’s shape is square, too, to reflect the Earth shape. Since the cakes he offered were of special meaning and delicious taste, Lang Lieu was selected to be the next Emperor.
