Zhoucun in Zibo City, Shandong Province is well-known for its ancient commercial port, and Zhoucun sesame cakes are also well-known in China. Zhoucun sesame cakes originated in the Han Dynasty and were developed in the late Qing Dynasty. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Juhezhai sesame cake shop in Zhoucun absorbed and improved the production process of Hu cakes and produced thin, crisp, fragrant and crispy large crispy sesame cakes, which are today's Zhoucun sesame cakes. In 1904, Zhoucun was specially opened to the outside world as a commercial port by the Qing government, creating conditions for the formation and development of Zhoucun sesame cakes. In 2008, the Zhoucun sesame cake production technique was selected into the second batch of China's national intangible cultural heritage protection list. Zhoucun sesame cakes are made of wheat flour, white sugar and sesame kernels, and are made with traditional craftsmanship. They are pure handmade products. The production of Zhoucun sesame cakes requires multiple processes such as formula, stretching, hemp, pasting, and baking. Formula, forming and baking are the key to making cakes. Especially the baking temperature, it is difficult for non-famous masters to reach the level of "perfection". The so-called "three parts of the case and seven parts of the fire" and "seeking wealth in the fire" are all the years of experience of the cake maker. Zhoucun sesame cakes have salty and sweet flavors, and can also be subdivided into multiple series of varieties such as sweet, spiced, cream, seafood, spicy, fresh vegetables, etc. They are famous for their four characteristics of "crispy, fragrant, thin and crisp". They are round and yellow in shape, with sesame seeds on the front and crisp holes on the back. They are as thin as poplar leaves and very crisp. They break into pieces as soon as they are chewed, and the fragrance fills the mouth. If they fall to the ground, they will all break into pieces. They are commonly known as "guara leaf sesame cakes". Zhoucun sesame cakes are rich in nutrition and pure in taste. They are also not greasy, do not change color or taste after long storage, and are easy to carry. They are a good product for traveling and giving gifts to relatives and friends.
