The origin of the name "Chuanchuanxiang" is because it is a snack that uses bamboo sticks to string various dishes together and put them in a hot pot to rinse and eat. Chuanchuanxiang is spread all over many cities in China with its unique charm and distinctive features. "Mala Tang" is also its variant. It can be said that there is a string of incense where there are people, and even to a certain extent, string of incense has become one of the representatives of Sichuan style.
