Classification of bergamot varieties

The fragrance of bergamot is stronger than that of citron, and it is more fragrant after long-term storage. Medical bergamot has different names due to different places of origin. The bergamot produced in Zhejiang is called Lanxiang (mainly produced in Lanxi County), the bergamot produced in Fujian is called Minxiang, the bergamot produced in Guangdong and Guangxi is called Guangxiang, and the bergamot produced in Sichuan and Yunnan is called Chuanxiang and Yunxiang respectively. There are also some cultivated varieties in Yunnan, with sweet and sour flesh, nearly smooth to rough skin, thin or thickened calyx and smooth or slightly dull seeds.

Straight or oblique fingers are called Buddha-opening, and those folded like fists are called Buddha-closing, or boxing (Guangdong New Language), or boxing Buddha-holding or fake Buddha-holding. Similarly, on the same fruit, the outer round meat strips are expandable and the inner round meat strips are fist-rolled.
