Rice rolls (Cantonese Pinyin: Cheong fan) is a very famous traditional Han snack in Guangdong, which belongs to Cantonese cuisine and originated in Longzhou (now luoding city, Guangdong) in the Tang Dynasty. Rice rolls can only be classified according to its production methods. Generally, Bula is called Bula rice rolls, and the other is directly steamed, generally using drawer-type rice rolls.

Rice rolls can't be divided by place, because local businesses will cater to customers' tastes and adjust their tastes according to the local market. They will add the name of the local city before rice rolls. For example, Guangzhou will be called Guangzhou Xiguan rice rolls, and Chaozhou will be called Chaozhou rice rolls. According to this classification method, there will be hundreds of rice rolls in China, which is unscientific. Because all rice rolls is actually a kind of Luoding rice rolls.

There are two main schools in rice rolls, Guangdong: one is Bula rice rolls, and the other is drawer rice rolls. Because the production tools used are different, the taste is different.
