Traced back to 1722, Pingtan Rice Paste is a district-level intangible heritage in Pingtan. Pingtan is an island city with a humid climate. The islanders often suffer from spleen deficiency, indigestion, loss of appetite, and abdominal distention after eating. Pingtan Rice Paste has an excellent therapeutic effect on such symptoms. It is a supplementary health food with medicinal benefits.

In recent years, Pingtan traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have combined the "holistic concept" and "dialectical theory" of traditional Chinese medicine to improve its manufacture craft, and further optimize and innovate the formula and production to make it more refined and customized. Based on different individuals, different formulas can be formulated to promote the efficacy and commercialization of this folk remedy.
