3. Origin
1644, Li Zicheng led the peasant uprising army from Xi 'an to Beijing. When passing through Lintong, the local area was in a famine year and food was in short supply. In order to fight the rebels in Laos, farmers infiltrated fire crystal persimmon with flour, baked them into cakes and gave them to the rebels. Later, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing. In memory of Li Zicheng, every family in Lintong bakes persimmon every autumn. Later, persimmon cakes were introduced into Xi, and Huang Gui persimmon cakes appeared in the market. This is a kind of pie baked with white sugar, Huang Gui, walnut kernel and animal oil. It is golden in color and sweet in taste, and has become a unique seasonal snack in Xi 'an.
