There is a touching legend about Houjie sausages: at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, a person surnamed Wang established a village in Houjie. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan army invaded the south on a large scale. Villagers then mixed rice and minced meat together, poured them into pig intestines, tied them into sections with small ropes, steamed them, and carried them into the mountains to avoid being killed by the Yuan army. Afterwards, after generations of improvement by the villagers of Houjie, by the mid Ming Dynasty, Houjie sausages had basically taken shape. In the 1930s, several well-known companies in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Macau, such as Xinchang, Xingfa, and Canji, had their production techniques passed down from generation to generation, maintaining their traditional reputation
