Origin
Some people say that "rice noodle roll was first created by the Pantang Hexian Pavilion during the Anti-Jananese War", other people say that "rice noodle roll originated in Guangdong. As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, the peddling voices of rice noodle roll could be heard here and there along the streets and lanes of Guangzhou."
Kun Ban, another special flavor snacks in eastern Guangdong, Gannan and other Hakka areas, is made of rice milk and then steamed with iron cooking utensils to form a thin piece of rice film similar to flat rice noodles, the cooking method is the same way to Chui Chang Fen (steamed rice noodles). It is said that after the Hakka ancestors moved from the north to the south, since the south did not grow wheat, no wheat flour could be used for making spring rolls, so they adopted rice flour instead of wheat flour to make spring rolls. It could be an invention, making the spring roll—the northern food widespread throughout the south with a new taste. This process of grinding rice into rice flour steaming into rice mile is the forerunner of modern rice noodle roll.
History
As early as the Tang Dynasty, two monks of Longzhou (now Luoding City, Guangdong Province), named Huineng and Huiji respectively, occasionally created a food called You Wei Zi (a fried pastry). Since You Wei Zi was too thin to be divided into pieces as before, they had to shovel the pieces out the pan into a pile and then cut them into sections (or as a whole) to eat. This is the origin of the recipe of rice noodle roll though at that time it was not yet called the rice noodle roll. In order to distinguish the new kind of food from the previous You Wei Zi, people called it You Wei Zi Slices.
During the Qianlong period, once Emperor Qianlong traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, he was bewitched by the gourmet and minister Ji Xiaolan, and specially make a detour to Luoding to taste Long Kan Zi (later name of You Wei Zi Slices). While he gobbling this "cool, tender and smooth" rice noodle roll, Emperor Qianlong was full of praise and bestowed rice noodle roll the name ”Chang Fen”.

A version of cheungfan notably absent outside of Guangzhou is the sliced meat filling variety. This variety is typically found in street side restaurants as a meal in itself, and uses whole meat pieces, typically beef or pork, rather than ground meat. Prior to rolling the crepe, briefly blanched lettuce or romaine is added as part of the filling, giving the cheungfan a crunch as well as volume.

In Vietnamese cuisine, there is a similar dish called bánh cuốn, and it is mostly eaten for breakfast. It is a crêpe-like roll made from a thin, wide sheet of rice noodle (similar to Shahe fen) that can be filled with ground pork and other ingredients. Sides for this dish usually consist of chả lụa (Vietnamese pork sausage) and bean sprouts, while the dipping sauce is called nước chấm. Sometimes, a drop of cà cuống, which is the essence of a giant water bug, Lethocerus indicus, is added to the nước chấm for extra flavor, although this ingredient is scarce and quite expensive.[1]
