Which celebrity is durian, the king of fruits, related to: Zheng He

1. Durian was introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty. The first clear description of durian in Chinese history was written by Zheng He's deputy Ma Huan in Ying Ya Sheng Lan.

2. It is said that on Zheng He's voyage to the West, he saw durian for the first time. When he took the first bite with a curious mind, he was shocked. He thought durian was very sweet, and the stimulation to taste buds lingered in his mouth for a long time. Moreover, Zheng He's fleet was far away from home, accompanied by durian, which made his peers reluctant to leave, but also had the intention of lingering. So Zheng He directly called it durian, a name that has been used ever since.

1. Durian, a tropical and subtropical evergreen tree, is a very distinctive tropical fruit. Durian is native to Malaysia and other places, and it is also planted in the humid areas of central and southern Africa and America. The name of durian is said to come from the homonym of the idiom "flow (stay) and forget to return".

2. It is said that those who can eat durian can stay in Nanyang for a long time. There are also two historical stories related to Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty. From 145 to 1433, Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao sent by Ming Dynasty, led more than 6 ships and nearly 3, people on seven voyages to the Western Ocean, which lasted for 28 spring and autumn.

3. What was called the Western Ocean at that time is now the Nanyang Islands. When Zheng He's large army was in Nanyang, as time went on, the soldiers naturally missed their parents, wives and children and their hometown, and there was a cry in the army that "it is better to go home". Zheng He was also anxious about it. Suddenly, one day, I found a big tree with many strange fruits, that is, people picked it and shared it with the soldiers. Everyone said it was fresh and delicious. ?

4. After a few days, the soldiers liked this fruit and became a "hobby". Because of the delicacy of this exotic fruit, people who are far away from their native land are "happy". So Zheng He named this beautiful fruit "durian".
