In Yubei's Longxing Town, there is a story: In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen, was hunted by Zhu Di, King of Yan. When he passed Longxing Town on his way of escape, he has contracted a nasty disease due to running about, sweating painfully in the night. Under that circumstance, his servant brought him a bowl of rice porridge cooked by Yinmi rice (a kind of cooked glutinous rice dried in the shade) and Chinese mallow, which brought him a quick recovery the next day. Since then, Yinmi rice has become a specialty and traditional food of Longxing Town with enduring popularity for centuries.
