Rizhao is the origin of ancient solar culture in China and one of the five largest solar cultures in the world. There has always been a custom of worshipping the sun. According to textual research, He's Tang Gu and The Tenth Kingdom recorded in Shan Hai Jing are located in Rizhao area. There are still some relics related to sun worship on Tiantai Mountain in Taoluo Town, Donggang District, Rizhao City, such as Sun God Stone, Sun God Mausoleum, Dayi Mausoleum, Ancestor Elephant, Oriental Dragon, Old Mother Temple, Pheasant, Stone Chair, Stone Mill and sundial. The "Sun Volcano" and "Sun Fire" Wen Tao unearthed from Lingyang River in Juxian County, as well as a large number of sun patterns on pottery, have fully proved the sun worship tradition of ancestors of Dongyi in Rizhao area. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Illusions and Zhaoyan, records that there are five places in Ju: Chengyang, Nanwuyang, Kaiyang, Yang Du and Anyang, which is the direct evidence of sun worship in ancient Ju.

"People from Shao Hao River mainly worship the sun and live in Tanggu (also known as Yigu), which is a sacred place blessed by the sun god."

It is said that this kind of cake became bigger and bigger. The thick one is called pot cake and the thin one is called pancake. This is the origin of Shandong pancakes. 1992 Rizhao wrote his own lyrics and composed music.
