Traditional candy and coconut wrap

In the monarchy period, elder members of a family would offer pancakes flavored with sugar as sacrifices to Confucius when their children reached school age.

Those pancakes were flavored with syrups shaped like scallion, thus they were named as candy and coconut wrap (tang cong bing).

The elder generation gave those pancakes to their children to eat after offering them to Confucius for blessings.

At some point between the Spring and Autumn period and the early Han, veneration of the 7th-century-BC Jin noble Jie Zhitui as an immortal developed into the Cold Food Festival, when fire was avoided for up to a month around midwinter.

At that time, the Japanese government required all Taiwanese to ship the Taiwan sucrose to Japan.

Cut the cooled syrup into strips of three inches long, and add peanut powder; the candy and coconut is done.
