Introduction to Xiaogan Yuhuang Li

Yuhuang Li, originally named "Yuhuang Li", is mainly produced in the Fangfan area and is a traditional precious fruit. Yuhuang plum belongs to the Rosaceae family and is a variety of American plum species. The cultivation history is long, and it is cultivated in mountainous and Sichuan areas. Heart shaped fruit, large in size, with an average weight of 77.5 grams; The fruit surface is golden yellow, the flesh is orange yellow, the flesh is fine and soft, the taste is sweet (soluble solids content 12.56%), the aroma is strong, and the quality is excellent

Jade Emperor Li Dawu County and Xiaogan City are the most famous, with beautiful fruit shape, thick flesh and juicy juice, high aroma and strong taste, moderate sweetness and sourness, and are known as "E Xiao Jade Emperor No.1". The "Xiaogan County Annals" of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty recorded: "During the Ming Dynasty, plum trees were everywhere in Jinpen and Fangfan (now part of Dawu), with abundant fruits. They were golden and lovely, and fragrant. In 1982, 1984, and 1985, at the plum fruit appraisal meeting in Hubei Province, Yuhuang plum won the championship three times in a row. Yuhuang plum, especially Fangfan, had the best product quality. The fruit was large and the skin was thin, with a single fruit weight of about 60 grams. When fully ripe, the skin color was yellow and clear, bright as jade, thin with powdery frost, the flesh was fine and crispy, juicy and sweet, with a strong aroma. It is said to have a" Hedong plum and Hexi fragrance ". The place of origin is Fangfan, also named after "a piece of plum tree, full of fragrant flowers". In the early days of liberation, after the Xiaoshu Festival, every household in the Fangfan area would collect new plums in large baskets and small baskets, gather them on the west bank of the water, and use boats to plant and sell them in other places. At that time, there was a folk song that said "one boat of plums and five boats of grain, there is money to use in good years, and it is easy to relieve famine in bad years"

How did the history of Xiaogan Jade Emperor Li come about

In the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Zhen's "Nongshu" recorded: "The Yuhuang Li is large in shape, thick in flesh, small in core, sweet and fragrant." Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, who grew up in Hubei Province, once tasted the taste of "Yuhuang Li". After ascending to the throne as emperor, he designated this fruit as a tribute, so "Yuhuang Li" was renamed "Yuhuang Li", and some people also called it "Jiajing Fruit"

The Development of Xiaogan Yuhuang Li

According to relevant historical records, in 1957, the production of Yuhuang Li was still around 100000 kilograms. Due to the large-scale construction of steel and blind deforestation for grain cultivation, Li Shulin suffered serious damage. In 1982, Yuhuang Li participated in the provincial fruit evaluation and ranked first with "beautiful fruit shape, thick flesh, bright color, large size, abundant juice, strong aroma, sweet taste, and excellent quality". It was named "E-Xiao Yuhuang Li No.1", which attracted the attention of leaders at all levels and took rescue measures such as "protecting mother plants and cultivating new seedlings". I believe that in the near future, this traditional precious specialty will shine again
