Shaqima (also known as Saqima) is a famous palace attraction in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was spread by ethnic minorities in China. It is sweet and soft in taste, golden in color, sweet but not greasy, instant in mouth, rich in flavor and rich in nutrition. This is a Manchu language. Saqima is a transliteration of Manchu, which means "dog's breasts dipped in sugar".

But there is another story. A Manchu general surnamed Sa, who worked in Guangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, liked to ride Geng to hunt, and he had a snack after every hunting. I can't repeat it! Once, before going out hunting, General Sa specially ordered the chef to "bring something new". If he can't satisfy him, he is ready to go home and eat himself. When the chef in charge of snacks heard this, a snack dipped in three eggs was blown to pieces! Just then, the general urged for snacks again, and the chef got angry. He cursed, "Kill the rider", and then took out the snacks in a hurry. Unexpectedly, General Sa was quite satisfied after eating it. He asked what the name of this snack was. The cook immediately replied, "Ride and kill". Therefore, General Sa called it "riding a horse", hence the name.
