The recipe for making rice cake "white cocoon sugar" was recorded in the 6th century cookbook "Shi Ci", and the method of grinding rice into powder and making cakes was recorded in the Northern Dynasty's "Qi Min Yao Shu".

The diameter is about one foot and the thickness is five or six inches. Various fruits are mixed in the annual sacrifice. People cut them and make New Year tea as gifts. "Its shape is similar to today's birthday cake.
