人文历史

太谷饼因产于太谷县（2020年改为太谷区）而得名，原名叫“油甘饼”，始于明末清初，历史悠久，民间流传有很多逸事。据史料记载，太谷饼早在清乾隆年间，时任直隶总督的清朝大吏温成慧（太谷县白城人）作为地方名吃带入北京，赠与皇亲国戚，达官好友。

清翰林院大学士纪晓岚享用后，赞誉之词写入其名著《阅微草堂笔记》后记中；清光绪二十六年（1900年），八国联军逼近北京，慈禧太后携光绪帝西逃途径太原，在各地方官吏献上的众多名吃特产中，慈禧唯独钟情太谷饼，并封为宫廷贡品，有诗云：国运艰难驾西迁，风餐露宿苦难言；幸遇太谷甘甜饼，餐餐御点现欢颜。

著名歌唱家郭兰英演唱的一首《夸土产》的山西民歌中，第一句就是“平遥的牛肉，太谷的饼”。

Humanistic History

Taigu cake is named after its origin in Taigu County (renamed as Taigu District in 2020) and was originally named “Yougan cake”. Taigu cake originated in the turn of Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a long history and many anecdotes passed down. According to historical records, as early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Wen Chenghui (from Baicheng, Taigu County), who was then the Viceroy of Zhili, brought Taigu cake to Beijing as a local delicacy and presented it to the royal household and his friends.

After enjoying it, Ji Xiaolan, the Grand Secretariat of the Hanlin Academy, wrote praises in the postscript of his famous work Jottings from the Thatched Abode of Close Observations; In the 26th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1900), the Eight-Nation Alliance approached Beijing. Empress Dowager Cixi fled westward with Emperor Guangxu, passing through Taiyuan. Among the many famous specialties offered, Cixi only had a fondness for Taigu cakes and conferred the title of Taigu cake as a tribute to the court. There is a poem that goes: The national fortune was difficult, and the royal family moved westward in a disheveled manner. Fortunately, they encountered Taigu Cake, which made them be delighted.

The first line of a Shanxi folk song sung by famous singer Guo Lanying, "Praising Local specialties," is "The beef of Pingyao, the cake of Taigu.".
