This rhythmic hawking can be seen everywhere in Linqing, an ancient city in northwest Shandong, and the sound falls on various flavor snacks at will.

The formation of Linqing snacks has its historical origin. Linqing is the intersection of Zhangwei River, Ancient Canal and Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. This brick tower built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty is a symbol of Linqing. Ships and businessmen who came along the canal at that time knew Linqing was coming as long as they saw the tower.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the canal was deep and flowing rapidly, and merchants exchanged frequently. Linqing City was called "Little Tianjin" in the north of the Yangtze River. This "Ao Tou Ji Ruins Ruins" was originally a bustling pier.

According to the "Linqing County Records", "Zhiyuan built Yanjing in the Ming Dynasty, and the national economy depended on river transportation. Linqing was located in the Wen Wei River Basin. Every time during the grain transportation period, sails and walls are like forests, and department stores are piled up. " It can be seen that the prosperity at that time.

It can be seen from these temples and old streets that the canal once brought prosperity and development to Linqing. Therefore, Linqing snacks with different flavors naturally developed with the prosperity of canal commerce.

Candied dates are well-known for their crystal clear, rich jujube flavor, tonifying the middle energizer and benefiting qi.
