According to the writings of Zhiyan (602-668 AD), a Buddhist monk who lived during the Chinese Tang Dynasty, a series of exceptionally warm summers in the 650s led to the appearance of a unique industry in Chang’an (modern day Xi’an), as xiǎofàn (translated as “peddlers” or “hawkers”) set up stalls along the streets to sell cold food to passersby. This novelty, at first confined to the capital, spread throughout China rapidly by the end of the Dynasty, and during subsequent eras similar tactics were adopted by lower class merchants and farmers close to cities in nearby countries like Korea, Siam, the Khmer Empire, and Japan. During the Qing Dynasty the street-side snack stalls gradually developed into street markets, engulfing whole neighborhoods and leading to communities that formed around them. In the late 19th Century these more stationary markets allowed for larger stoves, containers, and transportable items, leading to carts made of wood, stone, and even elaborately designed metals like bronze and brass. In the 1940s economic downturn and high unemployment rates created a massive boom of itinerant hawkers competing with each other. During the post-war period, the political stability and economic development of Hong Kong attracted immigrants from Mainland China, with an estimated 300,000 working as hawkers by 1949. Considered both “peasant food” by the imperial class and “must-see” locations for travelers, these communities continue to be an important and vibrant aspect of Asian life in every culture today, with impacts far beyond in areas rich with immigrants, like the various Chinatowns in America.
