Talking about grapefruit as a topic

I went back to Jiangxi at the end of September and stayed in the northeast of Jiangxi for a few days. I haven't been back to autumn for many years, only in summer and winter.

This is a place with four distinct seasons.

My hometown in my impression is beautiful all year round, because there are particularly clear scenery in each season, just like the scenery on postcards when I was a child. Green is green, yellow is yellow, unlike Guangdong, I can hardly feel the color change of the season.

Of course, autumn is the most beautiful season of the year, so it is sweet-scented osmanthus all the way back. Then, the most important thing is to eat grapefruit, which is known as "the king of autumn and winter fruits".

It turns out that grapefruit produced in Jiangxi is also delicious.

Of course, the most famous grapefruit is not from Jiangxi, but "Guanxi Honey Pomelo" from Pinghe, Fujian, "Tai Po Honey Pomelo" from Meizhou, Guangdong, and Shatian Pomelo. Now is the season when a large number of Guanxi honey pomelo are listed, which is also the protagonist to be introduced today.

This kind of grapefruit is sought after by many young people and has a history of 500 years.

As a national geographical indication protection product, Guanxi honey pomelo is mainly produced in Pinghe County, Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, so Guanxi honey pomelo is also called Pinghe honey pomelo.

So how did the name Guanxi honey pomelo come from?

It turns out that there is a stream in the creek garden next to Pinghe No.1 Middle School, which was called Kansai in ancient times. At that time, the stream flowed through the creek garden, and honey pomelo was planted on both sides. Guanxi honey pomelo is named after this stream. The name of Guanxi honey pomelo has been preserved for 500 years.

Speaking of it, this Guanxi honey pomelo has a long history. As early as the Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty, it was listed as a tribute to the court. Emperor Tongzhi personally gave the seal of "xipu Xinji" and Qinglong Banner as tribute marks and prohibitions. It was printed on Guanxi honey pomelo when it was immature, so the people also called Guanxi honey pomelo "imperial pomelo".

Since ancient times, it has been a tribute of the emperor, and it has also achieved the reputation of Guanxi honey pomelo as "the king of pomelo".

Different from many fruits introduced, grafted or improved from abroad, honey pomelo can be said to be a fruit with national quintessence culture. Therefore, it also embodies many cultural allusions.

According to the epitaph written by Zhang, a public friend of xipu and a tribute student in Jiajing, Ming Dynasty, "Shang Geng Sang likes gardening all his life, preferring planting and throwing, with soft branches hanging down, and the fruit is as big as a bucket, sweet and delicious, which is famous far and near ..." This is the earliest record about the origin of Guanxi honey pomelo, from which it can be inferred that Guanxi honey pomelo has been cultivated for nearly 500 years, and it has been negative for a long time.

Shi Hongbao, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, listed Guanxi honey pomelo as one of the three famous fruits in Fujian, and said, "All fruits in Fujian are tasted, litchi is a beauty, and Fuju is a celebrity. If you vote for it peacefully, it will be chivalrous. " And this peaceful throwing is another name for honey pomelo.

Raising fruit to the artistic conception of beauty, celebrity and chivalrous man is the so-called expression of ambition, which embodies the essence of oriental culture.

In fact, grapefruit has many names since ancient times, from folk to official, such as: Wendan, Xiangluan, Zhuluan, Neizi, Tiao, Leiyou, Hugan, smelly orange, smelly grapefruit, throwing, bracting, smashing ... there are many kinds of 10, and it is estimated that there are many kinds in fruits.
