撒子又叫“馓字”，它的名称的由来有多种说法。一种说法是和它的形状有关，馓子呈线条状，细如发丝，盘绕成各种形状，“馓” 这个字有 “散”“碎” 的含义，形象地描绘出它细而分散的样子。在一些传统节日或祭祀场合，馓子的形状也寓意着吉祥如意，人们希望生活能够像馓子一样，条理清晰，连绵不断。
Sa Zi, also known as "San Zi", has multiple explanations for its name. One theory ties it to its shape: San Zi consists of thin strands, as fine as hair, coiled into various forms. The Chinese character "馓" suggests meanings like "scatter" or "fragment", vividly describing its slender, scattered appearance. In traditional festivals or rituals, the shapes of San Zi symbolize auspiciousness and good fortune. People hope their lives, like the strands of San Zi, will remain orderly, continuous, and prosperous.
