The planting history of jujube in China;

According to historical records, jujube is a traditional famous specialty tree species originating in China. Archaeologists found the fossils of jujube pits in Peiligang cultural site in Xinzheng, which proved that jujube has been in China for more than 8,000 years.

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, people began to brew jujube wine with jujube fermentation as a fine tribute to guests and friends. The nutritional and health-care functions of jujube were discovered and utilized in ancient times.

There is a record of "peeling dates in August" in The Book of Songs. There is a saying in the Book of Rites that "jujube is sweet and chestnut is sweet" (interpretation: "? Jujube, chestnut and honey are sweet

") and used for cooking.

"The Warring States Policy" puts forward that "the benefits of jujube chestnuts in the north are enough for the people" (defined as "the benefits of jujube chestnuts in the north are enough for the people"), and points out the important role of jujube in the north of China.

Han Feizi also recorded the use of jujube chestnuts to save the people during the famine in Qin State. Therefore, the common people have always regarded jujube as one of "hardcore crops" and "woody food".

Jujube has been used as medicine for a long time, and it has been recorded in Shennong Herbal Classic, which has been recorded in all previous dynasties, and the understanding of its health preservation and treatment has been deepened.

There is a saying that "three dates are eclipsed, and they are not old for a hundred years."
