There is a legend that during the Three Kingdoms period, the famous doctor Hua Tuo came to Miancheng to collect herbs. One day, when he was sheltered from the rain in an old man's home, he saw that the old man was suffering from headache and dizziness, and he was miserable and embarrassed. Hua tuo immediately diagnosed the old man, and collected a handful of rice dishes in the old man's garden and asked the old man to take juice and boil eggs.

The old man obeyed, took three eggs and recovered. The story spread, and people boiled eggs with rice dishes one after another, and the craze spread all over urban and rural areas.
