Dragon's beard candy has been described as an old-fashioned candy characterized by a "rich, sweet flavor" with a threaded, chewy texture. Its appearance resembles that of a white cocoon or pillow shape. It has a high sugar content (19%), and 2% saturated fat content. By comparison, cotton candy is fat free with a very high sugar content (94%).

The movie "White Vengeance" released the still photos of Leon Lai Ming , who portrays the role of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of Han Dynasty. 

The legend of Dragon's Beard Candy was first notably practiced during the Chinese Han Dynasty. As the story recounts, an imperial court chef entertained the Emperor one day by performing steps involved in making a new confection. The process of making the candy involved stretching a dough-like mixture composed from rice flour into small, thin strands. These strands reminded the Emperor of a dragon's beard, and were sticky enough to adhere to one's face quite easily, so thus the concoction was there-forth named as Dragon's Beard Candy.
