grapes in Xinjiang are the best in the world, especially in Turpan. Turpan is the main grape production base in China, with the total output accounting for 52.84% of Xinjiang and raisin production accounting for 75% of China. There are mainly seedless white grapes here, as well as 13 varieties such as mare's milk, red grape, Kashgar, Baijiagan and Zozo. Its fruit is spherical, oval, oval, etc. Some grapes are crystal clear as pearls, some are fresh as agate, and some are green as jade. The colorful and green fresh grapes are mouth-watering. In particular, the seedless white grapes produced here are thin-skinned, tender-fleshed, juicy, delicious and nutritious. They are known as "pearls", and their sugar content is as high as 2-24%, surpassing that of grapes in California, ranking first in the world. The raisins dried with seedless white grapes have a sugar content as high as 6%, which is regarded as a treasure in grapes. Grapes have been planted in the western regions for more than two thousand years. When Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, he found that grapes had been widely planted here. At present, the planting area and total yield of Turpan grapes account for about 2% of the whole country and 5% of the whole Xinjiang. Due to the suitable environment, the quality of grapes produced here far exceeds its origin in the Mediterranean coastal areas. Turpan is rich in grape variety resources with more than 6 varieties. The most famous are dried seedless white, horse's milk, red grapes, and medicinal Soxho grapes. According to the records of Daming Hui Dian, the value of Soxho grapes is higher than camel skin and otter skin. "Seedless white" is not only thin and crisp, but also sweaty, and can be dried to make green raisins. Grapes in Turpan are bright in color, big in grain and delicious, sweet and moist in throat. In recent years, there are more than 24 kinds of grape products made from fresh grapes and raisins. Walking into the oasis in the summer season, every family's grape trellis will not only bring you shade, but also the hospitable host will pick crystal-clear fresh grapes, which are related to the geographical environment. There is a saying that "grapes are sour if you can't eat them." I did eat grapes and said they were sour. When I was five or six years old, my neighbor had an old man who planted a grape in his garden. One day, I saw a bunch of beautiful fruits that I couldn't name through the cracks in the wall, and I felt very novel. What is this? A bunch of them are like green pearls. Is it delicious? It is with this curiosity that I tried to tie a small hook with a small wooden stick, reaching in through the cracks in the garden wall built by that stone, reaching for it, reaching for it, and keeping an eye on whether anyone around me saw it at any time, and the heart was so scared that it jumped. At last, I reached it, and I couldn't wait to put the green grapes in my mouth. Ah, it was so sour and astringent that my tongue couldn't stick out. It was the first time I tasted grapes in my life. The grapes in Turpan, the melons in Hami, and the "foreign jars" in Kuqa (meaning "girl" in Uighur) are picturesque. When I was a soldier, I was stationed in Kuqa, and I could see beautiful girls running all over the street every day. If the troops were not disciplined and could not fall in love with local girls, maybe they would serenade a national marriage. Of course, what impressed me most was tasting the world-famous grapes from Turpan. That winter, our troops went to southern Xinjiang to build a simple road leading to the army farm, passing through the village of fellow villagers. I heard that there were abundant grapes there, so I wanted to buy some to taste. So, during the construction break, several comrades-in-arms invited us to come to the home of the villagers, and even gesticulated and squeaked to explain our purpose. The fellow villagers took several of us into their grape storage. It was a sealed house with many shelves, and the grapes were hung on the shelves layer by layer. I feel strange. Is this how raisins are dried? We asked how much is a catty? The fellow villager held out a few fingers and gestured, but he couldn't remember how much it cost. Anyway, we felt very expensive at that time, as if our allowance at that time was more than ten yuan a month. I wonder if this grape producing area is still so expensive? People say that goods die when they arrive at the farm, so why is it more expensive when they arrive at the farm? We went together, and several comrades felt incredible. But since I want to buy it, it's not bad for a few dollars. At least it's a taste of freshness. When I'm a soldier in Xinjiang, I can't even eat the special grapes in Xinjiang. In that case, telling them to future generations will not make them laugh. Together, we just bought a few kilos less. Why are grapes in Xinjiang so sweet? According to research, grapes were planted and wine was produced in China before 26 BC (Han Dynasty). Wine was first recorded in Sima Qian's famous Historical Records. In 138 BC, Zhang Qian, a diplomat, was sent to the Western Regions on the orders of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He saw that "Putao was used as wine around Wan, and the rich hid wine to more than 1, stones, and those who stayed for a long time were unbeaten at the age of several decades. Common people are addicted to alcohol, while horses are addicted to alfalfa. The Han envoy took it as a matter of fact, so the emperor began to plant alfalfa, and Putao was fertile. And Tianma, foreign envoys to the public, then leave the palace next to the pavilion to do all kinds of Putao, alfalfa eager "("Historical Records? 6? 1 Biography of Dayuan (sixty-third). Dawan is a country in the ancient Western Regions, located in fergana valley, Central Asia. This historical data fully shows that during the Western Han Dynasty, China had learned and mastered the techniques of grape cultivation and wine-making from neighboring countries. Although the production technology of grape and wine was introduced in Han Dynasty, it did not spread. In the Tang Dynasty, wine began to have a great influence in the mainland. The grape cultivation method and wine brewing method learned from Gaochang (now about 2 kilometers east of Turpan, Xinjiang) lasted for a long historical period in the Tang Dynasty, so that the name of wine appeared frequently in many poems of the Tang Dynasty. When grapes were introduced to the mainland, their bright pearl-like fruits and sweet wine made the people of the Tang Dynasty ecstatic. On the bronze mirror used by women for dressing, there is also a beautiful "sea animal grape" pattern. At present, the planting area and total yield of Turpan grapes account for about 2% of the whole country and 5% of the whole Xinjiang. Due to the suitable environment, the quality of grapes produced here far exceeds its origin in the Mediterranean coastal areas. Turpan is rich in grape variety resources with more than 6 varieties. The most famous are dried seedless white, horse's milk, red grapes, and medicinal Soxho grapes. According to the records of Daming Hui Dian, the value of Soxho grapes is higher than camel skin and otter skin. "Seedless white" is not only thin and crisp, but also sweaty, and can be dried to make green raisins. This kind of raisin is pure in color and unique in flavor, does not contain any additives and pigments, and is rich in natural fructose, protein, vitamins, cellulose and various trace elements such as iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium needed by human body. It has been appraised by foreign scientific circles, and the raisin contains a special anticancer substance, which is a multi-purpose pure natural health food. When you enter the oasis in the summer season, every family's grape trellis will not only bring you shade, but also the hospitable host will collect crystal fresh grapes to quench your thirst. Even in the dead of winter, well-preserved grapes can still be tasted in the markets around the Tarim Basin. Of course, with the development and progress of science and technology, you can eat grapes wherever you go and in any season, especially in supermarkets in major cities. You can eat grapes not only from China, but also from the United States. But the grapes in the United States are not as delicious as those in China. I remember that I went to a meeting in Xiamen in December that year and saw fresh grapes in the fruit supermarket, so I bought some American grapes in the supermarket and brought them back for my family to taste. As a result, the whole family shook their heads and said that it was sour and not delicious at all, saying that I had spent foreign money and suffered foreign crimes. Since then, I am not interested in foreign fruits. Although grapes are all sour, the grapes in China are sour and sweet.
