Do you know the origin of their names?

There are different opinions about the origin of melon names in the southeast and northwest. Next, let me explain it to you. In fact, the only melon named after the place is watermelon and pumpkin, and the "winter" of wax gourd is winter in winter. Wax gourd is largely a local crop. Zhang Yi recorded the origin of the name of wax gourd in Guangya. Winter melon is covered with frost when it is cooked, and its skin looks like frost in winter. It is very pleasing to the eye when it is hot in summer and autumn, hence the name wax gourd. Pumpkin Let's talk about pumpkins. There were few pumpkins before Guangxu, but most of them were called pumpkins, pumpkins, house melons and sleeping melons. On the one hand, it comes from overseas, on the other hand, it is huge, and it is also called golden melon because of its golden color. Pumpkins were introduced into China in many ways, but Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang were the earliest. At the beginning, China people mistakenly thought that pumpkins came from Japan, so they were called "Japanese Pumpkins" and "Japanese Pumpkins". In addition, there is a further misunderstanding that pumpkins come from the Korean peninsula and are called "Korean melons", while Japanese people think pumpkins come from China, so they are called "Tang Eggplant". In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, pumpkins in southern China were transplanted northward along the Grand Canal, especially in Shandong, which became an important pumpkin planting town in the north. People began to realize that this kind of pumpkin should come from the south, so the name "pumpkin" became popular. Watermelon Watermelon's name seems uncontroversial: As early as 4,000 years ago, Egyptians planted watermelon, which was introduced to China from the Western Regions in the 4th and 5th centuries. According to Xu Guangqi, a scientist in the Ming Dynasty, in his book The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration, watermelons and seeds were introduced from the western regions, so they were called watermelons. Li Shizhen in Ming Dynasty also recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that Hu Jiao got a melon seed from Uighur and called it watermelon. It can be seen that watermelon was introduced into China from the Five Dynasties, and it was planted in the north and south. This shows that watermelon has been cultivated in China for a long time, and it was named after it was introduced from the western regions. Beigua, Beigua, Beigua, doesn't that sound particularly strange? This is because Beigua was given to Ye Yan by Emperor Taizong. Legend has it that Emperor Taizong and the Dragon King of the East China Sea were sworn brothers, who swore that they would "be born on the same day of the same year and die on the same day of the same year". However, Emperor Taizong inadvertently helped Wei Zhi kill the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea went to hell to complain and asked Emperor Taizong to fulfill his oath that day. After learning about this, Emperor Taizong sent people to the underworld to escape the fate of death, and pleaded with Beigua, and finally saved his life, but Beigua disappeared from the world. In fact, in some areas, zucchini is called north melon. In some places in Shanxi, zucchini is called north melon. Finally, you who eat melons, is the origin of the name melon clear?
