<\/span>A Bite of History<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sweets in China go back thousands of years. Long ago, people used honey (\u871c m\u00ec<\/strong>) to make treats. By the Tang dynasty (over 1,000 years ago!), cooks were already frying sesame balls (\u714e\u5806 ji\u0101ndu\u012b<\/strong>) and shaping sugar into animals for parades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later dynasties brought more ideas \u2014 buttery pastries, red-bean fillings, and even fancy sugar flowers that looked too pretty to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n
