The origin of rice rolls

As for the origin of rice rolls, there seems to be no unified statement at present. Some people say that it was first created by Pantang Seafood Museum in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. Others said that "rice rolls originated in Guangdong, and as early as the late Qing Dynasty, there was a cry of selling rice rolls on the streets of Guangzhou". There is also a legend that when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he was bewitched by Ji Xiaolan, the food minister, and went to western Guangdong to eat rice rolls. When eating this "refreshing, tender and smooth" food, Qianlong was full of praise and said on impulse: This rice noodle is a bit like pig intestines. Rice rolls is the most common breakfast in Guangdong, and the feeling of being tender, smooth and crystal clear is really beautiful! It looks as white as snow, as thin as cicada wings, crystal clear, delicious, delicate and smooth, and a little tenacious, which is unforgettable. The more you eat, the more you love it!
