It is difficult to investigate the origin, naming, and specific cultivation history of Hupingzao, but the legendary story of Dianjiangtai and Sun Bin using jujube to ambush soldiers from the Warring States period, which remains on Erfoshan Mountain south of Meizhuang Village in Taigu County, the birthplace of Hupingzao, has been passed down among the people and is vivid and touching. According to legend, the area around Yangyi (the county seat at that time) was an ancient battlefield, and the Battle of Maling between Sun Bin and Pang Juan took place here. It was autumn at that time, and the slope of Limeizhuang was covered with red dates. Sun Bin saw that dates could provide soldiers with food, and adopted a plan to reduce stoves to deceive Pang Juan. In the end, he lured Pang into a encirclement and killed him. In the early 1950s, the central government selected famous and excellent agricultural and sideline products from various parts of China to celebrate Stalin's birthday in the former Soviet Union. The "Old Man Hong" jujube orchard in Limeizhuang Village was chosen as a gift, and it is said that Stalin praised it endlessly.
