The origin of candied haws
The origin of Sugar-Coated Berry is related to Huang Guifei, Song Guangzong's favorite in the Southern Song Dynasty.
During the reign of Shaoxi, Huang Guifei, who was ill, was sallow and emaciated, and lost appetite. Many doctors were helpless. So, Song Guangzong had to seek medical treatment.
After a quack doctor revealed the list, he felt the pulse of Huang Guifei, and he wrote a prescription of "tormenting with rock sugar and red fruits, and eating five to ten tablets before each meal". After the imperial concubine took it in this way, she really recovered.
