According to folklore in Xugou, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi fled Xi'an and stayed overnight in Xugou.

The old Buddha applauded and was so happy that he soon returned to the capital from Xi'an. The county magistrate was promoted to the magistrate of Dingzhou. This shows the charm of Xugou snacks.
