[Rose] [Rose] Apple fruit and apple
Apple fruit grows in the south, apple grows in the north, the pronunciation is very similar, is not it strange? In fact, they also have some relationships.
Pingbo Fruit is also called The Fruit of the Eye of the Hydrangea or the Fruit of the Rich Man or the Fruit of the Seven Sisters.
Looks like a phoenix eye, the fruit clip is cracked, pink and bright, extraordinarily charming, its son is black and round, and the son of the rich is also.
According to legend, "Pingbo" was introduced from the Western Regions by the Tang Dynasty Sanzang Master, that is, Tang Sanzang, and is also known as the "Seven Sisters Fruit" because it is used for worship on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar every year (Qixi Festival).
So why is Ping Po related to the apple?
Among them, the earliest prototype of the apple, "頻巴", is from the Buddhist scriptures, "Yinsheng Tianwang Banruo Sutra Volume VII": "Pin Po Guo, this translation of Yun Xiangsi also." ”
Before the Ming Dynasty, people mixed apples and Apples together, and after the Ming Dynasty, apples were separately divided into a category, distinguishing them from Pingbo.
Apples, from the original 柰, that is, Lin Bao, were gradually divided into Lin Bao and Ping Po Guo in the Tang Dynasty, and continued to evolve into Lin Bo and Ping Po in the Song Dynasty.
It was not until the Yuan and Ming dynasties that there were apples, and they parted ways with Lin Zhen and Ping Po and became a separate species.
Ping Po fruit taste sweet and warm, can warm the stomach to kill insects, for abdominal pain, nausea vomiting, hernia pain and other symptoms have a good therapeutic effect.
