Archaeologists found jujube fossils in the cultural site of Khan Lee, xinzheng city, which proved that jujube has a history of more than 8,000 years in China. 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, chestnut and honey are all sweet", which is used for cooking. "The Warring States Policy" states that "there are benefits of dates and chestnuts in the north ... food is the most important thing for the people" and points out the important role of dates 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. Up to now, jujube is still regarded as an important tonic. Li Shizhen wrote in Compendium of Materia Medica.
