Historical origin

Historically, Xiamao school snacks were the earliest and most popular snacks in summer, and Xiamao people were found almost all over the country. This fluidity also separates the processing of raw materials from the management service of Xiamao snacks, that is, processing does not operate, and management does not process, forming a simple repetitive work with low technical content.

Shaxian people are mountain people and like to process and operate by themselves, that is, the family-run business model of "front shop and back workshop". Shaxian snacks of Chengguan School are well-made and varied, and become the protagonists of Shaxian snacks.

Therefore, people who have been to Shaxian must taste Shaxian snacks, and after eating Shaxian snacks, they all lament that Shayang has no snacks. China (Shaxian) Snack Tourism and Culture Festival is officially designated as 65438+February 8 of the Gregorian calendar every year.
