On the Internet about the pumpkin there is such a description: pumpkin (pumpkin) is an annual sprawling herbaceous plant, leaves with white spots, fruit stalks five-angled, and is also called the Chinese pumpkin, squash, bonnet, bonnet, rice squash, and so on. Pumpkin originated in Central and South America. Pumpkin in Central America has a long history of cultivation, China 600 years ago began to cultivate. Now it is cultivated all over the world, with the largest cultivation area in Asia, followed by Europe and South America. According to the shape of the fruit is divided into two varieties: round pumpkin and long pumpkin. In the article of "Daliao's products", it is also mentioned that Daliao was founded in 916 AD, and there are four major farming areas. There are two agricultural areas and two semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas. Two agricultural areas: one is the Tokyo Road, Liaodong North Bohai country's agricultural area; one is the Nanjing Road, Xijing Road, the Great Wall to the south of Yan, cloud area of the agricultural area. Two semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral area: one is the Shangjing Road, Zhongjing Road, western Liaoning Shuohe (now the upper reaches of the West Liaohe Xilamulun River), Tuhe (now the Laoha River) basin of semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral area; one of the northwestern part of the Tokyo Road and the Shangjing Road of semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral area. And pumpkin was one of the main agricultural products at that time. Pumpkin was called Japanese melon by the local people, and also called pandan melon. Pumpkins are firm, round and flat in shape, and yellow, black and green in color. At that time, people called the yellow pumpkin and the black-green pumpkin. In fact, a nursery in the shape of different species, farmers did not force to distinguish. But at that time, the southerners because of its origin in the north, it will be called the northern melon. Later, pumpkin in the south has been widely planted, and because of the climate and geological reasons, pumpkin flavor relative to the north, unique characteristics, and relatively easy to grow. As a result, people also call it pumpkin.
