The origin of Ganzhou Guokui
Ganzhou Guokui has a long history, which began in the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago. According to legend, when Tang Gaozong built the tombs of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, the tomb site was chosen in Liangshan, 6 kilometers north of Fengtian County. Because this direction is the "dry" in the "gossip", the mausoleum built is called "dry mausoleum". Fengtian County was later changed to Ganzhou and Ganxian County. The construction of Ganling is a huge project, and tens of thousands of migrant workers and supervisors have been recruited. You need a lot of rice every day, and it's hard to cook it at the moment. Therefore, civil servants use helmets to bake cakes to solve urgent needs. The cake baked in this way looks like a helmet, so it is called "Guo helmet". This kind of pot helmet has an unusual smell, which is not only resistant to hunger, but also does not deteriorate for a long time, and is quite popular among migrant workers and foot soldiers. After continuous improvement, it is more delicious. After the completion of Ganling, the "pot helmet model" formed and developed with the construction of Ganling has been passed down from generation to generation because of its many unique advantages and continues to this day.
