In the Ming Dynasty, there was a learned person by the name of Shang Lu in the Province of Zhejiang. One night, he dreamed that he was on his knees in front of Wen Chang Altar and he saw the writing stationery, a plate of peanuts and some sugar on the worship table. God Wen Chang was smiling at him without uttering a word. All of a sudden, God Wen Chang waved toward the table and peanuts spontaneously got rid of their shells and flew into the sugar. In an instant, the peanut-mixed sugar turned into several bulls and ran toward him. Then, Shang Lu woke up. Later, he asked someone to decipher his dream. The writing stationery and peanuts were describing someone with good literature attainments while peanut-mixed sugar turned into bulls that ran toward him was a symbol of wisdom. 　　This interpretation cheered Shang Lu. He asked his family members to mix rice with maltose, add in peanuts, and then stew them together until they became rigid. Finally, he asked someone to produce bull-shaped containers so that he could make bull-shaped peanut candies. Because the word “Got” has the meaning of peanut, Shang Lu named this bull-shaped peanut candy “Nougot”. The original pronunciation of Got is also adapted to make it easier for the public to say the word. 　　After Shang Lu created Nougot, he happened to win the first place in all tests that he attended later that year, including town, metropolitan, and palace examinations. This is what we refer to as “triple championship.”  Shang Lu was the only person among the 89 scholars in the Ming Dynasty that won three championships in a row. To thank the blessing from God Wen Chang, he then prepared lots of Nougot candies and brought them to the Wen Chang Altar to Worship God Wen Chang. After the worship ceremony was complete, he shared the Nougot candies with other people. The good taste and chewy characteristic of Nougot made it a hit. However, because it was not easy to make the candy in the shape of a bull, people went ahead and cut it into rectangles directly and this becomes the shape we see of the candy today.
