The origin of eating spring rolls:
Spring rolls evolved from ancient spring cakes. It is said that there was a scholar in Fuzhou during the Song Dynasty. In order to prepare for the exam, he buried himself in his studies all day and often forgot to eat and sleep. It was useless for the wife to persuade again and again, so she thought of a way: grind the rice into pancakes, put the meat in them, and wrap them into rolls, which can be used as both rice and food. This snack was later named spring rolls and gradually became popular in urban and rural areas.
Among the Manchu-Han banquet 128 dishes in the Qing Dynasty, spring rolls are one of the nine snacks.
