Sesame cakes have a long history. The earliest record of this kind of sesame cakes is from a book of the Northern Wei dynasty, known as "Qi Min Yao Shu", the first book on agriculture in Chinese history, written by the early agronomist Jia Sixie (). The book has a chapter specifically on "cake method". Also, "Travels of Lao Can" (), written by Liu E of the Qing dynasty also has a description of it.
