China has had many dishes since ancient times, such as sunflower (winter sunflower, cold cabbage), epimedium (tender leaves of soybean), radish (turnip), amaranth, mustard tuber (some people don't know that mustard tuber is the stem of this skill), Toona sinensis, gourd, lotus root, arrowhead, water chestnut and water chestnut.

Don't talk about mushrooms and fungus. It's long everywhere, delicious and elegant, and easy to write. Just write "picking mushrooms" and "picking fungus" for frying. When you come across some precious things, such as Hericium erinaceus, Dictyophora dictyophora, gold, tremella, etc., which are nourishing and high-grade, and they are all original products of China since ancient times, it is necessary to write articles without researching the age. As long as you don't write about Flammulina velutipes and Crab Mushrooms, this trendy mushroom is ok.

Now mainly talk about the following dishes:

Garlic: It is said that Zhang Qian brought back the seeds when he went to the Western Regions.

Coriander: Originated from the coast of China, it was introduced to China after Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions.

Celery: China has existed since ancient times, but it is different from celery in the world.

The varieties of celery we eat now have been introduced for less than a hundred years.

Cauliflower: Originated in India, China has a long history of cultivation, and it was one of the 20 kinds of vegetables cultivated artificially in the later Han Dynasty.

Cucumber: Also known as cucumber, it is native to the northwest of East India and was brought to China by Zhang Qian when he returned to China in the Western Han Dynasty. Formerly known as "cucumber", it was renamed "cucumber" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. But there were wild cucumbers in Yunnan, China.

Broad bean: also known as bean, cold bean, arhat bean, etc. Originated from southwest Asia to north Africa, it was introduced when Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions.

As for sweet pepper, it was only in the18th century that it was introduced to China.

Cabbage: Also known as cabbage, it was introduced to China in the early Qing Dynasty.

Pumpkin: Native to Africa. It was introduced into southern China from Persia, and was called "cucumber" at that time. The date of introduction is unknown. There is also a kind of pumpkin, which originated in Southeast Asia. China has a long history of cultivation, probably in the Song Dynasty.

Green beans: Native to Central and South America, introduced to China in Ming Dynasty.

Tomato: Everyone knows this is a tomato. Peru, originally from South America, was introduced to China through the "Silk Road" in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. However, in 1983, the archaeological team of Sichuan Province in China found the seeds of tomatoes and other crops from the ancient tomb of the Western Han Dynasty, which became the Phoenix Mountain, and the Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences also carefully cultivated plants, which proved that this thing existed in China more than 2,000 years ago.

Needless to say, there are many fruits in China, such as peaches, apricots, plums, pears, dates, longan, lychee, oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, persimmons, bayberry, plums and pomegranate. Even bananas have been planted for more than 2000 years, which is enough for writing. There are also several exotic fruits, which also existed before the Song Dynasty. For example, grapes, brought back by Zhang Qian; Watermelon came from the Silk Road in the Five Dynasties. Figs were introduced before the Tang Dynasty, but they were hard to eat in the Central Plains. Pay attention to the following results when writing:

Mango: It is said that the seeds were brought back by the Tang Priest when he learned Buddhist scriptures. Now mango was introduced by the Dutch when they were in Taiwan Province.

Hami melon: It was first recorded in the Southern Song Dynasty. Before the Ming Dynasty, it was seldom eaten in the Central Plains. It will also be a tribute in the future.

Pineapple: Originally from Brazil, it was introduced in Ming Dynasty.

Strawberry: Wild strawberries were cultivated in the Ming Dynasty. However, it was not until the middle of Qing Dynasty that improved varieties were introduced from Britain, France and other countries.

Papaya: Originally from Mexico, it was introduced to China in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

As for snacks, before the Song Dynasty, there were all kinds of jiaozi, wonton, noodles, sesame cakes, steamed buns, steamed buns and jiaozi. Although buns were not called steamed buns at that time, they were meat buns; Jiaozi's name is not jiaozi, and there are many strange names, such as "Tang Zhong Prison Pill", which may have been inherited from the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, it's almost the same, and writing articles is also for people now. As long as this thing was there, it doesn't matter if you call it its current name. Remember not to give everyone the moon cakes of the Song Dynasty. Everything will be fine.
