Dugeng Town belongs to Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, located in the northern suburb of Sheyang County, 6.5 kilometers away from the county seat. Lotus root planting in Sheyang Lake has a long history. According to legend, a long time ago, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother went to Yaochi together. They parted the clouds and looked at the world in the distance, only to see Baoying swinging in the east with blue waves and a hundred miles of Fiona Fang, and the water swaying in the sky, just like a fairyland on earth. However, due to the lack of flowers, Lotus Fairy was ordered to take a handful of lotus seeds from Yaochi and sprinkle them on Shuisi Lake. From then on, there were lotus leaves and fields.

Lotus root grows from the soil under the lotus leaf. White and tender, fat and thick, because the tip of lotus root is tender red, people call it "beauty red". According to historical analysis, lotus root was planted in Shuisi area in Tang Dynasty, with a history of 1200 years. There is a historical record of digging lotus roots in Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty. From then on, every Mid-Autumn Festival, the people should choose the best lotus roots to worship the Duke of Yue and eat lotus root cakes. In the Qing dynasty, lotus root starch was presented to the court as a tribute for the first time. Since then, the lotus root has become famous all over the world.
