According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wu Zixu helped He Lv seize the throne of the State of Wu, and helped him to make the country prosperous and the people safe throughout the year. But later, He Lv was full of ambition and ordered Wu Zixu to build "He Lv City" to show his merits. After the completion of the city, the prince of Wu gave a banquet to celebrate. Everyone thought that the city was strong and could rest easy, but Wu Zixu was deeply worried. He called his entourage and told them, "The civil servants in the Qing Dynasty now think that high walls can protect the peace of the State of Wu. Although the city wall can resist enemy soldiers, the people inside will be equally restrained if they want to go out. If the enemy does not fight around, isn't Wu trapped in a cocoon? If you get carried away, you will be in trouble. If anything happens to me, Wu is trapped and food and grass are scarce, you can go to Xiangmen City to dig three feet to get food. " Soon, He Lv, the king of Wu, died, and Fu Cha succeeded to the throne, listening to slanderers. Wu Zixu urged the King of Wu to refuse the peace of Gou Jian, the King of Yue, but he was rejected and was sentenced to death. After Wu Zixu committed suicide, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, sent troops to attack the State of Wu, surrounded Gusu City, the capital of the State of Wu, and Wu Jun was trapped in the city, with women and children crying in the streets. At this time, the waiter remembered Wu Zixu's previous instructions, and quickly called the neighbors to dig food outside Xiangmen. When he dug three feet deep under the city wall, he found that the city brick was made of glutinous rice flour. People were so excited that they knelt down to the wall and thanked Wu Zixu. These glutinous rice noodles saved the people in the city. So under the auspices of the Wu Zixu family, it was distributed to the hungry people in the city, and everyone spent the famine temporarily. Suzhou people admire Wu Zixu's patriotism and love for the people. Since then, every winter, they will prepare rice cakes to show their memory of Wu Zixu. Secondly, it is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wu Zixu helped He Lv seize the throne of the State of Wu and helped him become a powerful country throughout the year. But later, He Lv was full of ambition and ordered Wu Zixu to build "He Lv City" to show his merits. After the completion of the city, the prince of Wu gave a banquet to celebrate.

Suzhou people admire Wu Zixu's patriotism and love for the people. Since then, every winter, they will prepare rice cakes to show their memory of Wu Zixu and share them with friends and family during the Spring Festival. Another legend says that in ancient times, there was a monster named Nian who lived in the deep mountains and forests all the year round. When he is hungry, he catches other animals to satisfy his hunger. But in the severe winter, most animals will hide and rest. When you are hungry, you go down the mountain to hurt the people, rob people for food, and make the people miserable. Later, there was a clever tribe called "Gaozu". Every winter, when the monster was expected to go down the mountain for food, he cooked a lot of food with food in advance, twisted it into strips and put it outside the door, while people hid at home. When "Nian" came, people couldn't find anyone to eat. When they were hungry, they filled their stomachs with food strips made by people and went back to the mountains after eating. When people saw the monster go, they all went out to congratulate each other, glad that they had escaped the "Year Pass" and were safe and ready to plough again in spring. In this way, year after year, this method of avoiding animal harm has been handed down. Because the grain bars are made of high, in order to feed the year, the year and the height are linked together, which is called the rice cake (homophonic).
