As a kind of food, rice cake has a long history in our country.

In 1974, archaeologists discovered rice seeds in the matrilineal clan social ruins of Hemudu, Yuyao, Zhejiang. This shows that our ancestors began to cultivate rice as early as 7,000 years ago.

People in the Han Dynasty used various names for rice cakes, such as "rice cake", "bait", and "獍".

The ancients also had a development process in the production of rice cakes from rice cakes to powder cakes.

The cookbook "Shici" from the sixth century AD contains the method of making rice cake "white cocoon sugar", "Cook the cooked rice and heat it in a pestle and mortar, then pound it into rice cakes. It must be cooked very well. Do not let it cook."

"With rice grains" means that after the glutinous rice is steamed, it is pounded into rice while it is hot, then cut into peach pit sizes, dried and fried, rolled in sugar and then eaten.

There is a very ancient legend about the origin of rice cake.

In ancient times, there was a monster called "Nian". It lived in the deep mountains and old forests all year round. When it was hungry, it would capture other animals to satisfy its hunger.
