Jinyun sesame seed cake, also known as bucket cake, is a traditional snack in Jinyun County, Zhejiang Province. It is said that it has a history of more than 650 years. Jinyun sesame seed cake is made of flour, fresh pork and dried prunes, and baked in a sesame seed cake barrel with charcoal fire. Legend has it that Emperor Xuanyuan once made an alchemy in the furnace of Dinghu Peak in Jinyun Mountain. He is very focused. When he was hungry, he grabbed a piece of dough and baked it on the furnace wall.

After the Yellow Emperor in Xuanyuan Huangdi descended from dragon to heaven, the local people imitated the Dan furnace of the Yellow Emperor with clay, made pottery stoves and baked dough to eat. Later, this technology of using ceramic furnace to paste cake blanks and baking cakes with charcoal fire almost became a unique traditional skill of Jinyun people. This is Jinyun Sesame Cake Festival, which will be held in Jinyun County from April 27th to 28th.

Legend has it that when Zhu Yuanzhang went to Jinyun, he ate Jinyun sesame seed cake and never forgot it. Later, when he became emperor, he sent someone to Jinyun to find the master of that year, and received him from the palace to make scones for him. There is Liu Ji's Pancake Song as evidence:

"One day, Ming Taizu lived in the inner hall to eat baked wheat cakes and had an argument with him. When he was in prison, he suddenly saw Liu Mao, a patriotic teacher, covered it with a bowl, and then called in to finish the ceremony. The emperor asked Ji, "Sir, do you know what's in the bowl? "? Kenai counted with his fingers. He said, half like the sun and half like the moon. It was once bitten by a golden dragon, and so was this food. I did open my eyes. "Liu Ji studied in Qingtian Shimen cave in his early years, not far from Jinyun, and he must have eaten Jinyun sesame seed cake; I think "pinching fingers" is fake, and I can smell the smell of Jinyun sesame cake that he is familiar with is true.
