3. Cui Bao's "Notes on Ancient and Modern Times" says that the milk persimmon is a soft jujube, the leaves are like persimmon, and the child is as small as persimmon. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, I didn't know that Qian Jun, jujube and persimmon were the same thing, so I proved them in detail. Jundong, although its persimmon leaves are long, the fruit is small and long, like milk, and purple and black when ripe. A small circle as big as a finger, named Lilac Persimmon, tastes You Mei.

Documentary record

Zang Qi said that qianzi was born in Hainan. The height of this tree is over ten feet. There is juice in the child's body, sweet as milk. The same is true of Wu Du-fu's "flat touch".

Zhen said that you moved to wedge dates, the length of its wood and the length of its leaves. But the fruit is small and long, like milk, and it is purple and black when cooked. The one with a small round tip is called Lilac Ladder, which tastes You Mei. It is wrong to think that the herbal medicine for famine relief is sheep arrow jujube.
