Kiwi is native to the south of China. Because macaques like to eat this kind of fruit, they are named kiwifruit. After kiwifruit was introduced into New Zealand, it was widely planted. People named kiwifruit after kiwifruit, the national bird of New Zealand, and called it "kiwifruit", which is one of the most famous fruits in New Zealand. [2]

Study history
Kiwi is native to China, and it was originally a wild fruit. It was not until the beginning of last century that a New Zealand female teacher brought it back to China from Wudu River in Yiling District, Yichang City, Hubei Province, that it developed into a kind of fruit called kiwifruit. The development process from wild to cultivated is quite legendary.
Kiwifruit, commonly known as carambola, peach, peach and pear, is an ancient wild vine fruit tree originating in China. Jiaokeng Village, huangyan district, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province also preserves kiwifruit plants transplanted from the depths of the mountains to the fields more than 200 years ago.
There are many kinds of plants called kiwifruit in China. According to the investigation of botanists, there are more than 52 kinds of kiwifruit in China, many of which are edible. Nowadays, kiwifruit in the fruit market mainly refers to Chinese kiwifruit and delicious kiwifruit, and the latter is recognized as a new variety by a certain variety in 1984. Their wild species are widely distributed in Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan in the north, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian in the south, Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan in the southwest, and the provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, especially Wudu River in Yiling District.
Kiwifruit has been eaten by the ancients for a long time. In addition to The Book of Songs, there is also a peach in Er Ya Cao Shi, which was named carambola by Guo Pu, a famous naturalist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. People in Hubei and some places in eastern Sichuan still call kiwifruit kiwifruit.
The name Kiwifruit may have only appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Tang's Compendium of Materia Medica states: "Kiwi is salty, warm and nontoxic, and can be used as medicine. It is mainly used to treat joint pain, paralysis, perennial white hair, hemorrhoids and so on. " It shows that at least 1200 years ago, China had planted kiwifruit in the courtyard. In addition to being eaten as wild fruit, kiwifruit was cultivated as an ornamental flower in the courtyard in the Tang Dynasty because of its beautiful leaves and flowers. Cen Can, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Li Laoshe sent his brother and nephew to stay in Taibai Dongxi", including a sentence "There is kiwifruit in the atrium well", which vividly described the situation of people beautifying their homes with kiwifruit at that time. At the same time, the records in Notes on Materia Medica show that it was used as a medicine at that time. Well, the introduction didn't escape, but it is still always valuable.
