Besides welcoming the Spring Festival, spring rolls usually have a lot of fresh vegetables, so the nutritional price is very high. Spring rolls, also known as spring cakes and pancakes, are popular traditional snacks in Fuzhou with a long history.

Spring rolls evolved from ancient spring cakes. According to the ancient book Chen's "Guang Ji at the Age of Years", "Spring cakes, lettuce and spring vegetables are eaten in spring." There is also a saying in "Yanjing Years" in the Qing Dynasty: "Playing spring means that rich people eat more spring cakes." It can be seen that the folk custom of making and eating spring cakes in spring has a long history.
