Making and eating quails is the oldest, most traditional and essential custom for Cantonese people during festivals, and different quails are made for different festivals, such as the winter solstice, Chinese New Year, the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, Duanyang, weddings, and other various occasions. To this day, people still keep the custom of eating quails to celebrate the New Year.

Every year, a few days before the New Year, on the 26th and 27th day of the New Year's Eve, families start to make quails to send off the old and welcome the new, and also use quails to "set up the New Year" (placing quails in the home across the old and the new two years) and "honoring the gods", in order to pray for a better life.

People pounded rice into powder and made it into food with a certain shape and a certain flavor by combining it with fillings, which is called "(籺)". At first, people just use the stalked rice (commonly known as "sticky rice") powder to do, and later found that glutinous rice flour viscosity is stronger, easier to shape, better taste, will be used exclusively to do (籺), year after year, and gradually become a custom.
