He explained the meaning of the cakes to his father: the round cake was the symbol of the sky and the Square cake was the symbol of the Earth. In the old belief of Vietnamese people, the Earth is square, so this cake's shape is square, too. Because of the special meaning and delicious taste of the cakes, Lang Lieu became the next Emperor.
