According to historical records, Bozhou vermicelli was first made in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a history of more than 2,000 years, and was once listed as a tribute. Mulan vermicelli is a famous Bozhou specialty. It is the hometown of the heroine Mulan, the birthplace of vermicelli, and Mulan is the ancestor of vermicelli.

After joining the army, Mulan went to the front of Montenegro day and night. After entering the military camp, he repeatedly made outstanding achievements and was deeply appreciated by marshals and supported by soldiers. One day, it suddenly began to rain. Mulan visited the kitchen camp and found that the chefs in the kitchen camp were worried about the batter soaked by the rain, fearing that the marshal would punish them. Hua Mulan used her quick wits and remembered a delicious dish that her mother had to cook on holidays when she was a child. She ordered the chefs in the kitchen to make a fire and boil water. He also ordered people to bring several copper pots, put a spoonful of batter in them, spread them evenly at the bottom of the pot, and then put the pot on the surface of the boiling pot to rotate. Soon, a glittering and translucent pancake appeared, with a fragrant smell, and the soldiers scrambled for food. From then on, this crystal clear pancake was called "Mulan vermicelli" and became a necessary food in the military camp.

12 years later, the soldiers returned triumphantly and brought the production technology of "Mulan vermicelli" back to their hometown. Although there are various legends about "fans" all over the country, the story of "Mulan, the ancestor of fans" has been circulating for more than two thousand years.
