Introduction:

"Guangbing is one of the traditional snacks in Fuzhou, Fuzhou people like to eat Guangbing. In many alleys in Fuzhou, you can often see some small shops with round dough cakes about the size of a cup. It's about two centimeters thick. It's yellow on the surface, and there are many sesame seeds embedded in the surface. The middle of the cake is concave, showing a small pit. Press it with your hand. It's very hard. This is the smooth cake. The name of Guangbing is related to the legend of Qi Jiguang's entering Fujian to fight against Japanese pirates. According to reports: during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the invaders invaded the coastal areas of Fujian, and Qi Jiguang led Qi's army into Fujian to fight against Japanese. At that time, the Japanese invasion was rampant and the war continued. The people along the way vied to reward the three armies, but the Qi army had strict discipline and did not accept gifts. The people of Minqing County specially made a kind of cake with holes in the middle, which was strung up with bittern grass and hung on the necks of Qi's soldiers. Qi Jiguang felt deeply that the people loved the army and that the army also needed portable dry food, so he ordered the land to accept the people's wishes. After the news spread to Fuzhou, the local people made a kind of cake smaller than Minqing cake, which is more convenient to carry. They wore it with string and gave it to Qi Jiajun. Qi Jiguang saw that this kind of cake was very practical in the war, so he ordered the cooks to make it like this. Later, to commemorate Qi Jiguang's Anti Japanese War, people called the small cake "Guangbing" and the big cake "Zhengdong cake". Guangbing is very popular among Fuzhou people. The ancient literati like to eat light cakes. When Ju Zi who came to Beijing to take the exam passed by Fuzhou, he had to buy many light cakes to use as dry food on the way. Over time, how many light cakes he ate became a synonym for measuring Ju Zi's hard work. "
