Love Shin Kyora Xuanye
I think everyone is very familiar with Xuan Ye, who was the second emperor in the Qing Dynasty to settle in Beijing. After Xuan Ye became emperor, he changed the name of the country to "Kangxi", and among all the emperors in the Qing Dynasty, Xiaobian believed that the Kangxi Emperor was the most outstanding emperor, after all, "Kangqian Shengshi" was indispensable to the merits of the Kangxi Emperor, and also set the foundation for Yongzheng Qianlong's prosperity, but in Kangxi's life, he mispronounced the name of a fruit.
In the hot summer, fruit has also become a consumer product that is indispensable in our daily life, and it is also a happy thing to eat fruit in summer. In fact, in the feudal society at that time, not everyone could eat fruit, and the common people could only eat apples, after all, the output of apples in China was still very large. But rare fruits can only be enjoyed by the royal family, and the next fruit to introduce to you is cantaloupe.
In today's daily life cantaloupe everywhere, the price of cantaloupe is also very close to the people, we can afford to eat, but in the Qing Dynasty only royal family can eat cantaloupe. How cantaloupe was introduced, in fact, at that time, only Xinjiang could produce cantaloupe, the name of the cantaloupe at that time was called melon, it was because of the sweetness that the melon was named melon, so how kangxi called the melon cantaloupe.
Here we have to start from the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi, when the Qing Dynasty government sent people to Xinjiang to census the population, when the Minister of Chincha went to Xinjiang, Hami hui Wang Eberdula used the local melon to entertain the Minister of Chincha, after seeing this melon Minister Chincha did not know, but when the Minister of Chincha ate it, he praised it in time, because there was no such sweet melon in the chincha minister's place. When the chancellor returned to Beijing, Eberdullah also specially brought two cars to the Kangxi Emperor.
At that time, transportation was not developed, and it took two months to get from Xinjiang to Beijing, and the minister of Long-distance Bumpy Chincha finally returned to Beijing. At the first time of returning to Beijing, the minister of Chincha hurriedly sent the melon to Kangxi to taste, after all, the melon had been bumpy for two months. The melon that Kangxi ate was already a ripe melon, and the sweetness was even more delicious, and the Kangxi Emperor liked it very much after eating the melon.
But the road is far away, not want to eat can eat, to the next year's New Year's Day, Eberdullah was ordered to participate in the Beijing event, this time to Beijing Ebedullah once again brought melons. After seeing the melon, Kangxi ordered all the ministers to taste it together, and the minister of the DPRK praised the delicious taste of the melon after eating the melon. So Kangxi asked Ebedura what the name of the melon was, and Ebedura explained: This melon is too sweet, and we locals call it melon.
Kangxi believed that such a delicious melon should have a loud name, and since this melon came from hami, it was called cantaloupe. Kangxi's name made Ebedullah see no solution, because the melon that Ebedullah gave to Kangxi every time was not produced in Hami, but from another county, and Hami also had this melon, but in the sweetness, Hami was not the first, Kangxi himself gave the name, and Ebedullah could not explain, if He let Kangxi know that this was the crime of deception.
In this way, Kangxi called the wrong name of the fruit, if Kangxi knew that the source of cantaloupe was not hami, he would certainly not have given such a name as cantaloupe. However, in feudal society, the emperor's orders could not be changed, and if he changed his words at will, then how could he govern the country well? Therefore, Kangxi's slip of mouth also has the fruit name of cantaloupe, after all, Kangxi is the emperor, people call it whatever name they want, and then the whole country follows Kangxi to call this melon cantaloupe.
During the Qing Dynasty, the production of cantaloupe was not very large, after all, only in the Xinjiang region, due to the unique temperature in Xinjiang can grow sweet cantaloupe, but with people's love, a large number of cantaloupe planting technology was introduced. We live in a happy era, because after we are born, we can access all kinds of fresh foods and fruits, but in feudal society, cantaloupe is actually a luxury, and ordinary people cannot eat fruits like cantaloupe for a lifetime.
