It is said that the "sugarstick" was invented by a candy merchant who wanted to witness Jesus. "Shi's" sugar is hard, just as Jesus Christ is an eternal rock; J-shaped candy body, representing the first letter of jesus or the shepherd's staff; White represents the purity of Jesus; The red stripes represent Christ's bleeding for our sins, and the other three smaller red stripes are the stripes he suffered for us; Some "cheese" sweets have green stripes, which means that Jesus is a gift from God. "Shi's" candy is made of mint, because mint is hyssop (when Jesus was crucified, soldiers soaked sponge in vinegar, tied it to hyssop and sent it to his lips), and hyssop represents cleanliness and sacrifice. Jesus is a pure lamb. He came to sacrifice for the sins of the world and shed his blood to atone for us. The curling shape at the top of the walking stick makes it look like a shepherd's crutch. On the other hand, the walking stick looks like the letter "J", the first letter of Jesus' name. But many symbols and meanings are not widely known today. A long history In ancient times, people used honey to make candy. Sugar-coated almonds first appeared in the areas around Rome. The manufacturer wraps an almond with honey and dries it in the sun to get sugar-coated almonds. This kind of candy has always been popular with people. VERDUN, located in MEUSE, is the most famous producer of sugar-coated almonds today. BRAQUIER Company here makes sugar-coated nuts of various shapes and colors, including chocolate, roasted almonds and pistachios, all of which are carefully made by ancient methods. The process of making sugar-coated nuts takes more than 1 days. The fennel candy in FLAVIGNY Monastery is smaller and rounder. This kind of candy was invented in the small town of FLAVIGNY in BOURGOGNE in 165, and now it has been exported to 2 countries. Because of the high price of candy, it was not until the 18th century that only nobles could taste it. However, with the rise of colonial trade, sucrose is no longer a rare thing. At this time, many candy manufacturers began to experiment with various candy formulas and produce candy on a large scale, thus making candy enter the homes of ordinary people. This is an important reason why we can see so many sweets today. Little candy tells the history of France from north to south, and candy tells the history and tradition of France. Orchards in RHONE Valley provide APT candy manufacturers with high-quality raw materials, so that they can produce delicious jams and fruit pies. In NORMANDIE, manufacturers added the flavor of local apples to delicious maltose to produce "apple candy". Candy manufacturers also draw inspiration from the local industrial sector to make candy. For example, the name of miners' candy comes from coal mines in northern France. What color is this candy? Black, just like coal. In ANGERS, where slate is produced, and in central France, there is a flat square dessert wrapped in chocolate, which is called QUERNONS, and the color is like slate. Some common candies, such as CARAMELS, are produced all over France. However, some areas add particularly obvious regional characteristics to this candy. For example, in BRETAGNE, salted cream is added to CARMELS candy. In COTES D'UZES, manufacturers often add licorice to candy. In the candy museum of HARIBO brand (which is the most famous for ZAN and licorice juice candy), licorice juice candy, candy tablets and licorice candy are displayed.
