In the Han Dynasty, rice cakes were called "rice cakes", "fish bait" and "glutinous rice".

In the book Dialect of Han Dynasty, the title of "Gao" was popular in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. As early as the Liao Dynasty, it was said that on the first day of the first month in Beijing, every family had the custom of eating rice cakes. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, rice cakes have developed into perennial snacks in the market, with different flavors in the north and south.
