Study history
Kiwifruit originated in China and was originally a wild fruit. It was not until the beginning of last century that a New Zealand female teacher brought it back to China from Wudu River in Yiling District, Yichang City, Hubei Province, that it developed into a kind of fruit called kiwifruit. The development process from wild to cultivated is quite legendary.
Kiwifruit, commonly known as carambola, peach, peach and pear, is an ancient wild vine fruit tree originating in China. Jiaokeng Village, huangyan district, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province also preserves kiwifruit plants transplanted from deep mountains to fields more than 200 years ago.
There are many kinds of plants called kiwifruit in China. According to botanists' investigation, there are more than 52 species of kiwifruit distributed in China, many of which are edible. At present, kiwifruit in the fruit market mainly refers to Chinese kiwifruit and delicious kiwifruit identified as a new variety by a certain variety in 1984. Their wild species are widely distributed in Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan in the north, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian in the south, Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan in the southwest, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, especially Wudu River in Yiling District.
Kiwifruit has been eaten by the ancients for a long time. In addition to The Book of Songs, there is a peach in Erya Cao Shi, which was named carambola by Guo Pu, a famous naturalist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. People in Hubei and some places in eastern Sichuan also call kiwifruit kiwifruit.
The name Kiwifruit probably came into being in the Tang Dynasty. Tang's Compendium of Materia Medica states: "Kiwifruit is salty, warm and nontoxic, and can be used as medicine. Mainly used to treat joint pain, paralysis, perennial gray hair, hemorrhoids and so on. At least 1200 years ago, China had planted kiwifruit in the courtyard. Kiwifruit was not only eaten as wild fruit, but also cultivated as an ornamental flower in the courtyard because of its beautiful leaves and flowers in the Tang Dynasty. Cen Can, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Li Laoshe sent his brother and nephew to stay in Taibai Dongxi", which contained the phrase "There is a kiwifruit on the atrium well", vividly describing the scene when people used kiwifruit to beautify their homes at that time. At the same time, the records in Notes on Materia Medica show that it was used as medicine at that time. Well, the introduction has not escaped, but it is still very valuable forever.
