The Origin of Huang Gui Persimmon Cake

Huang Gui persimmon cake is a flavor snack made of flour and fire crystal persimmon, which is a specialty of Lintong County, Shaanxi Province, hence its name. According to legend, Li Zicheng became king in Xi 'an and soon went to Beijing. At that time, there was a famine and food shortage in Guanzhong. Lintong people baked persimmon with cooked fire crystal persimmon mixed flour for soldiers to eat on the road. After that, every year, when the golden breeze is cool and persimmons are ripe, local people will make persimmon cakes to commemorate Li Zicheng. Through the continuous improvement of chefs, the present Huang Gui persimmon cake was formed.
