The production of plums has been emphasized by the Party and the government, and Tongxiang County has sent specimens of plums to the capital for exhibition. In 1958, according to the request of Comrade Zhu De, Zhejiang Province sent twelve plum seedlings to Beijing for breeding. In 1961, according to the request of Jiaxing area and Tongxiang County, the provincial government allocated special funds to help Tongxiang County rebuild the wooden wooden pestle garden in Baitao Township. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the CPC, the leading organs of Jiaxing, Tongxiang and other cities and counties mobilized to expand the planting of plumplants, and gave great support in terms of policy, material, seedling and scientific and technological services, so that the production of plumplants gradually recovered and developed. Tongxiang Hundred Peach Township now has more than two thousand fruit trees, Jiaxing Fengqiao Township has more than four hundred plants, and there are many farmers in other towns and villages planting. In recent years, the provincial and municipal authorities have increased their support, allocated more funds, strengthened scientific and technological guidance, and used modern means to promote cultivation, in order to strive for high quality and stable production of 鈥檇.

The plummers are very tasty but difficult to cultivate, and their yields have always been unstable and not high. In the past, during the peak season, each tree can usually produce one or two hundred fruits and twenty or thirty pounds, but in the bad years, the production is very few, even only one or twenty fruits and two or three pounds per tree. Some farmers are so greedy to produce more fruits in good years that they don't thin out hundreds of fruits, which prolongs the period of "small year", decreases the quality or shortens the age of the tree. The development of plum pestle is affected by the objective natural conditions, pistil degradation, self-pollination is more difficult, weak and tender, Yee pollution, such as a sudden cold or wind and rain, especially the heavy fog, can not be conceived results. In the old days, due to social and production conditions, has not been able to form a full set of applicable production techniques, yield and no harvest years occurring in a staggered manner. It became a law. Zhu Mengxian鈥檇 genealogy: "In ten years, only two years are counted for those who are prosperous, four years for those who are common, three years for those who are the least, and one year for those who are totally absent. After that, every two or three years there is nothing." This situation has not improved so far, and due to the deterioration of natural conditions, environmental pollution, the production situation is even more depressed, and some concentrated production areas, since 1994, has been a poor harvest, or even no harvest for several years. Therefore, it is imperative to improve the living conditions, summarize and improve the technical guidance, and further strengthen the support from all aspects to revitalize the pestle.　　The cultivation and tasting of the plummer have been accumulated over thousands of years, forming a close relationship with the history, geography and culture of Jiaxing City. There is a great deal of cultural precipitation surrounding the plums. Appreciation of plummer is not only a taste of food, but also a colorful traditional cultural activity.

As a cultural phenomenon, the fruit of the plums is inextricably linked to the name of the place. The name "檇鈥檇" is the ancient name of Jiaxing city, and later evolved into the name of several counties in the city. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the two countries, Wu and Yue, fought several battles in the city. This historical fact is written in the Confucian classic "Spring and Autumn Annals" by Confucius and another ancient book "Zuo Zhuan". Later generations recorded that the place of 鈥檇李, in turn, had different names such as 鈥檇城, 鈥檇乡, 鈥檇市, and 鈥檇墟, which also gave rise to the 鈥檇亭, 鈥檇池, and other "relics". The source of the name of the city is said to be "the place is famous for its fruits", which has been held by all the historical records since the Song and Yuan dynasties. Accordingly, there are endless historical facts and stories surrounding the pestle fruit, causing people to talk about it and think about it; and because the word pestle was written down by Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Annals, the status of the pestle fruit was also elevated accordingly, and thus gained the respect of the people. It is also associated with the ancient beauty Xi Shi in the legend, which makes it even more precious. According to legend, when Xi Shi entered Wu and passed through Jiaxing, she tasted the plummer and left a nail mark when she pinched the fruit, and since then the fruit has left a mark for generations. This legend has been passed down by word of mouth, and people know that it is absurd, but they still enjoy it, and the literati have written poems about it, adding to the colorfulness of the plummer. The legend of Li Li is also related to astronomy and astrology. Legend has it that the Big Dipper in the sky is in charge of fruit trees, and in summer, the handle of the Big Dipper is pointing southward to the land of Wu and Yue, and the plummer is the "aura" of the Yuhang star on the handle of the Big Dipper, which adds a layer of mysteriousness to the plummer. These legends, together with many other allusions, have been cited by people for thousands of years, so the appreciation and tasting of the plums has become a local cultural custom that has been passed down. In the old days, literati and artists enjoyed the plums in spring and summer, and gathered to sing and compose poems and paintings, while the hosts invited their guests to taste the plums and collect poems and writings, all of which were considered to be elegant. People also used the plums as valuable gifts to high officials, celebrities, friends and relatives, and sent them to Suzhou and Hangzhou in bamboo boxes with banana leaves and covered with silk. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, each catty of plum was sold for one dollar, and the demand for it exceeded the supply and it was not easy to buy. Over the centuries, many poems, calligraphy and paintings have been left behind by the appreciators, enriching the local culture, and their prosperity can be seen from the inscriptions in the book "鈥檇谱" and "Longhu鈥檇 inscriptions" in the book, in general.
