戚继光字元敬，号南塘，晚号孟诸，明朝杰出的军事家、爱国将领，中国历史上著名的民族英雄。戚继光出身将门，从小就立志疆场，保国卫民，曾留下“封侯非我意，但愿海波平”的名句。其戎马一生中，他最为人所知的是率军抗击倭寇（Japanese pirates）的伟大胜利，他的领袖气质和大无畏气概，以及对长军事改进中的创新思维。民间有流传着一种说法，福建人吃的一种叫做“光饼”的烤饼，是最初为戚继光的军队而制作。1562年，戚继光率兵在浙闽沿海抗倭时，当地百姓为了慰劳戚家军，应对抗倭途中的饥饿，为他们制作军粮。其中就有一种形似铜钱，大小如手掌，表面光滑，中间有一个小洞的面饼。这些面饼不易变质，且方便串在一起，为戚家军夺取抗倭胜利的提供了便利和充足的食品供应。为了纪念戚家军抗倭胜利，这款烤饼被人们称作“光饼，”体现着百姓对这位伟大将领的爱戴。戚继光于60岁时，贫病中卒于故乡，追授谥号武毅。
