The origin of kiwi fruit is in the Xiangxi region of Hunan Province, China [2], north of the Qinling Mountains. Figure 2: Sichuan Dandan noodles, a must-try delicacy in Sichuan cuisine, are relatively neutral in Sichuan cuisine.

As early as the "Book of Songs" in the pre-Qin period, there are records of kiwi fruit: "Xi has Chang Chu (the ancient name of kiwi fruit), and Yi Nuo has its branches." Li Shizhen also described the shape and color of kiwi fruit in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "

Its shape is like a pear, its color is like a peach, and macaques like to eat it, so it has many names. "Research History Kiwi fruit is originally from China. It was originally a wild fruit until a female teacher from New Zealand brought it to the world at the beginning of the last century.

After returning to China, it developed into a fruit called kiwi fruit.

The development process from wild to cultivated is quite legendary.

[1] Kiwi fruit, commonly known as carambola, peach, mountain peach, peach, etc., is an ancient wild vine fruit tree native to China.

In Jiaokeng Village, Huangyan District, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, there are still preserved kiwi fruit plants that were transplanted from the mountains to the fields more than 200 years ago.

There are many kinds of plants called kiwi fruit in various parts of China. According to a survey by botanists, there are more than 52 species of plants of the genus Kiwi distributed throughout the country, many of which are edible.

The kiwi fruit on the fruit market today mainly refers to the Chinese kiwi fruit and the delicious kiwi fruit that was identified as a new species in 1984 by a variant of it.

Their wild species are widely distributed in Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan in the north, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian in the south, Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan in the southwest, and all provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, especially the Yangtze River basin.

[1] Kiwi fruit has been eaten by the ancients for a long time. In addition to the Book of Songs, it is also mentioned in "Erya·Shicao". Guo Pu, a famous naturalist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, named it kiwi fruit.

People in some places in Hubei and eastern Sichuan still call kiwi fruit yangtao.

The name kiwi fruit probably did not appear until the Tang Dynasty.

The "Supplement to Materia Medica" of the Tang Dynasty records: "Kiwi fruit is salty, warm and non-toxic, and can be used medicinally. It is mainly used to treat arthritis, paralysis, long-term white hair, hemorrhoids, etc." It shows that at least 1,200 years ago, China

Kiwis have been planted on trellises in the courtyard.

In addition to being eaten as a wild fruit, kiwi fruit has beautiful leaves and flowers, so its cultivation in courtyards as an ornamental flower began in the Tang Dynasty.

Cen Shen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Li Laoshe Stayed at Taibai Dongxi to Send My Brother and Nephew", there is a sentence "On the well railing in the atrium, there is a stand of kiwi fruit", which vividly describes the situation of people using kiwi fruit to beautify their homes at that time.

Records in the "Supplementary Materials of Materia Medica" from the same period indicate that it was already used as medicine at that time.

[1] The "Kaibao Materia Medica" compiled during the Kaibao period of the Song Dynasty (973-974) once recorded it: "It is called a vine pear, a muzi, and a macaque pear." It is also said that "its shape is as big as a chicken egg, and its skin

It turns brown and becomes sweet and edible after frost.” From these records, it can be seen that the ancients consumed it as a wild fruit.

In the fifth year of Yuanfeng in the Song Dynasty (1082), Tang Shenzheng said in "Zheng Lei Materia Medica": It tastes sweet and sour, grows in valleys, vines grow trees, and the leaves are round and hairy. Its fruit is shaped like a duck and goose egg, its skin is brown, and it becomes sweet after frost.

"In the 6th year of Zhenghe of the Song Dynasty (1116), the pharmacologist Kou Zongxi recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "There are many kiwi fruits in the Nanshan Mountains of Yongxing Army (in today's Shaanxi Province). Food can relieve excess heat... ripen in October.

, light green in color, extremely sour when grown, with numerous and fine seeds, color like mustard seeds, weak branches, two to three feet high, mostly growing on trees, some surviving in shallow mountains along roads, and mostly eaten by monkeys in deep mountains.

"Part" is divided into two parts. [1] Judging from relevant historical data, this wild fruit has always been used by people in mountainous areas, but the method of use may be similar to that of golden cherry, and it has never been domesticated and cultivated.
