Fan Chengda, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, was full of praise for watermelons, saying, "Bimanling has been eating watermelons everywhere for many years." Wen Tianxiang, a national hero, once praised: "Pull out the golden knife and break the jasper bottle. A thousand red cherries and a pile of topaz. If you swallow it, it will disappear, and if you bite your teeth, it will make the sound of ice and snow. "
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhaiyou's "Red Melon Lantern" said: "Take the green jade house in Qingmen, and skillfully infiltrate scarlet blood in the center, forming the dew of three dangers in the morning and evening, and the slurry of nine clouds flows out."
