Judging from the earliest historical documents, this kind of food was recorded as early as the Qin Dynasty and the Warring States Period, and Qin Shihuang called it "papaya"-melon dates. According to the poem "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Nanshan has a gourd" in Ci Yuan, it is explained that "the gourd is an orange, and Nanshan is the Qinling Mountains". The area around Qinling Mountain, especially the southern foot of Qinling Mountain, is the best producing area of Calligonum Calligonum.
The appearance is similar to the Buddhist word "Wan", which means: auspicious and wishful, called "Chaenomeles", edible, with green flesh, little juice, sweet taste and slightly astringent aftertaste.

Types of Calligonum Calligonum: Shaanxi is the main producing province of Calligonum Calligonum, and there are two kinds of Calligonum Calligonum now: one is the wild Calligonum Calligonum, which is bred and produced in the pure wild natural environment in Qinling Mountains; The other is the hand-planted jujube picked by farmers in the fields. It goes without saying that the nutrition of wild Calligonum Calligonum is incomparable to that of artificial Calligonum Calligonum, and its rich nutrients are also higher than that of artificial Calligonum Calligonum. In recent years, as local people often go into the mountains to pick wild Calligonum Calligonum, the output of wild Calligonum Calligonum is also decreasing year by year. Most of Calligonum Calligonum on the market now are artificially cultivated and planted varieties.
