Problem description:
Is litchi imported from abroad?
Analysis:
China is the origin of litchi, and Guangxi is one of the origins. According to ancient records, Guangxi is one of the birthplaces of litchi. The earliest records of litchi in China are Shang in the Han Dynasty and San Tu in the Six Dynasties, which has been more than 265,438,000 years. It is said in the book that "Fu Li Gong" in "Shanglinyuan" has a kind of exotic fruit-litchi, which contributes to "Cangwu". It can be seen that litchi cultivation in Guangxi was first recorded in history. Ancient documents of all ages mentioned that litchi was produced in Lingnan. For example/kloc-0, Yang Fu's Records of Foreign Things in the late 20th century, Guo's Guang Zhi in the late 3rd century and Southern Vegetation in the early 4th century all recorded litchi as a special product of Lingnan. At the beginning of the ninth century, there was a sentence in the poem "Tijun Litchi", which claimed to be a foreigner. In the middle and late ninth century, litchi was called "the fruit of the south is beautiful" on the highway "Beihu Road". 1 1 In the middle of the century, Su Song's Illustrated Materia Medica affirmed that litchi "first appeared in Lingnan"; /kloc-In the late 6th century, Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica also called litchi "the fruit of inflammation". These records can be used as evidence that litchi originated in southern China.
There are wild lychees in Guangxi, and there are many varieties of lychees. A wild litchi forest was found on the 60 thousand mountain at the junction of Bobai County and Pubei County. From 65438 to 0988, I went to Bozi County for field investigation. From the west to the south of the county seat, there are wild lychees (locally called Li Shan) in towns along the 60,000-mile mountain range, such as Ruming, Nalin, Jiangning, Songnabu and Xintang. From the morphological characteristics of plants, the shape of cracked pericarp, and the fact that meat parcel and stone are not difficult to separate, these lychees are wild, not the escape of cultivated species.
