Taiwan's children's song watermelon is large and sweet, and it is indeed worthy of the name, and it used to be one of the fruits of tribute.
According to records, the Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi and Yongzheng have the image of diligence, the day and the opportunity they not only manage the national affairs, even Taiwan watermelon to manage, recently the Forbidden City exhibited Yongzheng personally approved the folding collection, introduced the story of Taiwan watermelon in the Qing Dynasty, said that at that time the People of Taiwan also ate watermelon in winter, red meat looked festive, was regarded as a tribute by Qing Officials, the result was too much, so that the emperor even the number of watermelons had to bother to control, interesting past caused netizens to discuss.
Taiwan has a variety of fruits all year round, some people ask whether they have been washed in winter? Ancient officials recorded that Taiwanese watermelons "flourish in the winter month, And Taiwanese people eat more on New Year's Day", not only the general public eats, but even as a tribute, although not expensive, "but in the severe winter season, the thin-skinned red melon fruit is both rare and festive", and it coincides with Kangxi's march birthday ceremony, which may also trigger Kangxi's interest in watermelon, and in his 60-year-old year, he "chose an interesting way to understand Taiwan———— and gave watermelon seeds to Be planted in Taiwan."
The Forbidden City said that after receiving the melon seeds, the officials naturally took good care of them, and after the harvest, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and the governor of Fujian selected the best products from 2,300 watermelons, and then sent the wenwu commissioner or the governor and the fu family to escort them to Beijing, and requested that the seeds of the new year be awarded, "so that if you award the melon seeds, I will present the watermelon, which will become a rule."
As a result, the ranks of watermelons were later expanded, "in addition to the governor, the inspector, and even the Fujian admiral later joined", Kangxi once ordered the governor and fu to send 80 watermelons each, resulting in the royal watermelon planted in 1722 (Kangxi 61). In the 6th year of Yongzheng (1728), Yongzheng instructed Gao Qiqiu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, to "have too many melons, and this useless thing is specially used for the purpose of offering", and it is enough for the officials to send a total of 3 or 40 watermelons, so in the future, the governor, Fu and the viceroy will only send 12 watermelons each, in line with the emperor's instructions; does Yongzheng not like watermelons? According to the Forbidden City, Yongzheng had given him the praise of "this year's watermelon planted very well" in 1724 (Yongzheng 2), perhaps simply because he was afraid of sending too much food, or the storage problem was a headache.
Interesting past events triggered a warm response from netizens, "On the 6th day of last year+0, the table in front of the press conference also placed 6 large watermelons, watermelons are really easy to use", "No wonder Yongzheng will die of overwork", "When your family receives nearly a hundred watermelons, you will also tell them not to send them again, the size is big and troublesome", "The emperor does not want to be a melon eater", "Today the local community just has someone helping children find watermelons to use for winter vacation homework".
