The origin of Qibao Square Cake is closely related to Fan Zhongyan, a famous Chinese scholar. It is said that Fan Zhongyan, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, was born in a poor family when he was a child, and his three meals a day were all porridge. Every winter night when he studies, he freezes porridge on a plate, then cuts it into pieces and eats one when he is hungry.

When his classmate, friend Shi Haiqing, learned about this, he had glutinous rice flour modeled after Fan Zhongyan's making method and made glutinous rice cakes. They sent them every day until Fan Zhongyan won the prize, and they named them "white soft cakes". The present Qibao Square Cake has been handed down from this, and it has the meaning of wishing a high promotion. There is a poem that says it well: "How high the human heart is, it is harmonious to make food." Just take the year to win the year, and pray for the year. "
