The bait block (bait silk) is a traditional dish of Yunnan. The "steamed bait wire" is the original creation of Qujing. It formed a complete technique and concept in the Ming Dynasty, and then it has been enriched and improved. The bait block made of rice has a long history in Yunnan, which is related to the origin of rice planting in Yunnan. The selection and proportioning requirements of the ingredients in Qujing steamed bait are very strict. Use locally produced boiled bait blocks, hand-cut, and steamed to ensure that the bait is steamed, moderately soft and hard, and has a chewy head. The ingredients of the steamed bait are very rich and quite elegant. The specially prepared sweet soy sauce is carefully prepared with a certain proportion of spices. The sauerkraut is carefully marinated. The chili pepper is from Qiubei, the pepper is from Sichuan, and the star anise and grass fruit produced in Guangxi are produced in Henan. Washed sesame and so on.

According to the "Traveling Man", during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the Qufu scribe of Shandong Qufu was sent to Yongping County, Yunnan Province. He saw and eat bait on his way to work. According to his textual research, "Zhou Li Tianguan·憥人" commented "bait" said, "combined steamed and fed." The bait block should be “bait feed”, because “feed” and “block” are homophonic, which is mistakenly called “bait block”. This may also be the origin of the name of the bait.
