Where is the origin of Feizixiao litchi?

I think the princess smile that Yang Guifei ate in those days should be produced in Chongqing and Sichuan. The producing areas of contemporary litchi are distributed in the southeast coastal areas of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Taiwan Province Province. The reason for this is the following：

Everyone knows that Yang Guifei loves litchi, and it is also because of Du Mu's sentence: "The world of mortals rides a princess, and no one knows it is litchi." And spread through the ages, and where did Yang Guifei's lychee come from? Could it be from the southeast coast? I don't think it's possible. Because of the inconvenient transportation and backward transportation in ancient times, if you come from the southeast coast, neither water nor land can guarantee the fresh taste of litchi. Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is 108,000 miles away from the southeast coast. From the map, it is more suitable to be closer to Chongqing, Sichuan. However, it is difficult to pass the Shu Road and the Heaven Road, and it is not easy to send some lychees.

When Bai Juyi was a satrap in Jiangzhou, he wrote "Litchi comes out of the Three Gorges" and also wrote about the characteristics of litchi. "One day, the color changes, two days, three days, and four or five days." Therefore, many soldiers who sent litchi in those days lost their lives in order to rush to send fresh litchi to Yang Guifei's mouth. Where did Yang Guifei eat litchi? That is the life and blood of soldiers in feudal society.

It's much easier to eat litchi now. Now air transport is developed and road traffic is convenient. Litchi, which was hung on the tree yesterday, may have reached the fruit shop downstairs today. Not to mention Chongqing, Sichuan, even the fresh fruits of neighboring countries can be eaten, which is really great. Most of the lychees we eat now come from the southeast coastal generation. With plenty of sunshine, litchi is naturally tender and juicy.
