It is said that the origin of Bingfen is as follows: At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a girl from Meishan named Wang Weiyuan accidentally dropped the fruits from the Bingfen tree into her sachet when she went up the mountain to pick pears.

At some point, some transparent fruit pulp overflowed, so she carefully took it out and put it in a bowl. After a moment, the fruit pulp solidified, shiny, like ice but not ice, like powder but not powder. She couldn't help but taste it.

It takes a sip and is icy, smooth and delicate, but unfortunately it has no taste. So Wang Weiyuan added some brown sugar water and tasted it again. It was cool, sweet and tender. He happily mentioned "ice jelly, ice jelly"

For a long time, ice jelly was limited to Sichuan. You couldn’t buy ice jelly outside Sichuan, and it was difficult for outsiders to eat it. Some people from other provinces are interested in Pengshan's "Weiyuan Ice Jelly" after trying it.

I took the ice jelly seeds home and tried to rub them myself, but I usually couldn't do it well, and even if I did, it wasn't as delicious as the "Weiyuan Ice Jelly". This has also become the reason why many ice jelly businesses in other provinces are difficult to operate.

The emergence of various summer cold drinks in modern times, such as ice cream, popsicles, cold drinks, etc., has gradually made this traditional Sichuan cuisine even more difficult to compete.

However, the deliciousness of Weiyuan Ice Jelly is hard to match by many industrially processed foods. It is green, healthy and delicious, and is also an unforgettable memory for many people.
