The origin of Sugar-Coated Berry is that the imperial concubine of Zhao Dun, the emperor of South Song Guangzong, fell ill. After taking hawthorn according to the quack doctor's method, she recovered as scheduled. Later, this practice spread to the people, and the people strung it together and sold it, which became Sugar-Coated Berry.

Sugar-Coated Berry is also called sugar-coated haws, in Tianjin it is also called sugar duner, and in Fengyang, Anhui it is called sugar balls. Sugar-Coated Berry is a traditional snack in China, which originated in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is made by stringing wild fruits with bamboo sticks and dipping them in maltose syrup, which quickly hardens in the wind. The common snacks in northern winter are generally made of hawthorn, which is thin and hard, sour and sweet, and very cold.

Sugar-Coated Berry in Beijing was the most popular in the Republic of China. In the old Beijing, there were several types of candied haws in different areas, such as food stores, refreshments in parks or theaters. The candied haws were often sold in white porcelain plates with glass covers. They were exquisitely made and varied, including hawthorn, Bai Haitang, water chestnut, yam, orange and all kinds of candied haws filled with bean paste, melon seeds and sesame seeds.
