In this era of low sugar prices, diverse purchase channels, and even the promotion of nationwide sugar reduction, it is difficult to understand and experience the difficult development history of sugar. We eat pleasant desserts and actually eat the wisdom crystallization of the ancients who have been practicing for thousands of years.

Speaking of common sucrose products such as white sugar, crystal sugar, brown sugar, etc., before the Tang Dynasty when the sugar making process was really mature, maltose, that is, maltose, was basically a condiment for folk to obtain sweetness. Maltose was fermented from grains such as rice and wheat. Due to its low sweetness, some dignitary of good sweets would choose more scarce and expensive honey.

Can't the people before Tang eat cane sugar? This is to say the origin of sugar cane. Although there is a history of planting sugar cane in southern China, the sugar-making technology is backward, the quality of sugar is difficult to guarantee, and the efficiency is also low. Sugar cane is more regarded as a kind of fruit. Cao Pi, the sugar-addicted Emperor of Wei Wendi, wrote about sugar cane in The Fu of Sentiments. Although the song expresses the prosperity and decline of all things in the world by lamenting the process of sugar cane, however, it can also be seen that sugar cane is grown as a vegetable and fruit plant in the yard rather than as a crop.

It is also the words of Cao Pi, which comes from "The Gathering of Arts and Literature", "There are longan, litchi in the south, and grape and stone honey in the west", among which the stone honey is a kind of sugar product-rock sugar, and there is also a record of Tang Taizong's envoy Jie Mo Tuo (ancient India) in the New Tang Book, which basically infers that the ancient method of sucrose technology popularized in China originated from ancient India, after the localization and transformation of ancient Chinese laborers, "the color and taste are more than the Western Regions", and they were even exported to India in later generations. Since then, China's sugar-making technology has continued to mature and develop, and the people can also eat sweeter sugar.

The difficulty in making sugar in the ancient method is to filter impurities. The unclear filtration of impurities affects the sugar yield and taste. The ancient Indian method of filtering impurities is to add milk when boiling sugar. The milk protein is coagulated after heating, and at the same time, the impurities are wrapped in it and floated, and then the impurities are removed. This process needs to be repeated many times until the impurities no longer float. After the introduction of China, eggs were used due to lack of milk, it also uses the principle of protein condensation with heat.

However, this method was time-consuming and material-consuming. Until the Tang Gaozong period, China invented the drip-drip method of sugar to produce white sugar with higher purity. This method was basically used until modern times. The dripping method, as the name implies, is a method of taking sugar through a funnel tool. This method pours the boiled sugarcane juice and yellow mud into the funnel to extract sucrose. The yellow mud can adsorb impurities and decolor, and the resulting sucrose has high purity and purer appearance.

Also because the problem of filtering impurities has been solved, more varieties of sugar products have been developed. Sugar products such as white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, black sugar and other sugar products have appeared in different boiling times and processes. Bee brand, a 65-year-old brand, has also been bred. Because of its adherence to traditional sugar making technology and natural southern sugar cane, it has a good reputation in Guangdong, Guangxi and Qiong and overseas Chinese communities. Bee brand traditional sugar, bee brand brown sugar, bee brand brown sugar, bee brand black sugar, bee brand rock sugar and other sugar products, stable quality, sweet and mellow, is the result of the efforts and inheritance of generations of technicians.
