The making process of the candy includes boiling sugar, grinding powder, stirring, compacting, making inlaid characters, stretching sugar bar and slicing. Because the character embedded in the center of the candy always carries auspicious meanings, the candy is very popular during festivals. (Photo by Shi Yalei/Xinhua)
