Guang Bing (Qi Jiguang Cake)
Qi Jiguang is a historical figure and Chinese folk hero famed for his exploits against Wo (the old name of Japan). Loved and held in great esteem by the people they named small cakes in his honor. These are round and with a hole through the center so that they could be put on a string and hung around the neck, very useful when out and about as a way to stave off hunger!
