It is said that a long time ago, in Fujian, there was a dragon. Every August, when the sea was in high tide, he made waves, destroyed crops and ruined houses. There was a young man named Guiyuan who was skilled in martial arts. He couldn't stand it any longer and went to fight with the dragon. In August, when the tide came, he prepared good wine, pork and mutton and put them together. After the dragon went ashore, he ate up the pork and mutton in a few mouthfuls as soon as he saw the pig and mutton drooling. The effect of alcohol made the dragon fall down without taking two steps. Longan raised his steel knife and stabbed at the dragon's left eye. Longan was stabbed out, and the dragon rolled back and forth in pain. When he was about to escape, Longan grabbed the dragon horn and rode on the dragon. When the dragon tried to get rid of Longan, Longan stabbed the dragon's right eye with a steel knife, and the dragon lost his eyes and screamed with pain. After a fight, the dragon bled to death. Longan died because he was seriously injured in the fight. As a result, a kind of fruit has grown in this place, which is called "longan" or "longan".

What is the origin of longan?
Longan originated in India and has been planted in Asia for thousands of years. Longan is closely related to litchi and rambutan. The flesh of longan is translucent, crystal white, sweet and refreshing, and its taste is slightly worse than that of litchi. The stone of longan is brown and inedible. Longan is named because there is a white spot in the middle of the stone that looks like an eye.
The origin of longan name
Longan was named "Longan" because it was a tribute of the royal family, but later this name became taboo. Because eating "longan" means eating "dragon's eyes", how can the eyes of the dragon (emperor) eat? So longan later had another name.
Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534). Jia Sixie's "Qi Min Yao Shu" says: "Longan is a puzzle and a bimu." Because it matures in the fragrance season of osmanthus trees, it is commonly known as longan. "Another said longan is because longan is produced in Guangxi (Guangxi) and is round, so northerners call it longan. In addition, some people refer to Fujian as Fuyuan.
