Origin

According to legend, as early as the Tang Dynasty, Changzhou began to use maltose and sesame seeds to produce a kind of sesame candy, which is called Ma Tuan (sesame ball-shaped candy).


At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, State Jin’s army made a large-scale invasion to the Central Plains. Zhao Gou, King Kang of the Northern Song Dynasty blindly compromised and sought peace, and did not want to recover the lost land in the north. The common people are very resentful about this. The local people in the Changwu changed the shape of the candy Ma Tuan into a blunderbuss-like cylindrical shape and gave it to King Kang to inspire his courage to resist the Jin’s invasion and to recover the lost land.
