Golden Jade Three Twisted Olives originated in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty (1494), at the foot of Dajian Mountain in Jinzao Town, Xiaobei Mountain Range, Chaoyang. Horticultural cultivation began to flourish in the 15th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1750). A relatively complete group of three twisted olive ancient trees has been discovered in the mountainous areas of Hujiao Mountain in Lutang Village, Haodi in Guan'an Village, and Houpi in Xialiao Village. Among them, there are 9 plants that have been over 300 years old. After long-term selection and grafting, they still grow vigorously and have high and stable yields. There is still a 500 year old three twisted olive tree in Guankeng Village, Jinzao Town, which can be regarded as the ancestor of three twisted olives. Local chronicles place the greatest emphasis on the quality of olives when recording them. For example, during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the "Haiyang County Annals" stated, "There are both green and yellow varieties of olives, with the green variety having a bitter taste, while the yellow variety with sharp edges is the best." During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Jinyu Town in Chaoyang was part of Haiyang County, and "the yellow variety with sharp edges" referred to the Jinyu Three Twisted Olives from Jinyu Town. Since then, the reputation of Jinyu Three Twisted Olives has been passed down among the people

In Chaozhou dialect, "three twists" and "three edges" have the same meaning. In common sayings, "three twists" can better describe the fruit in a more vivid and popular way than "three edges", so it is commonly referred to as "three twisted olives" in folk customs; Although the term "three sided olive" is relatively scientific and elegant, it is relatively unfamiliar and difficult for local people to understand. Therefore, the term "three twisted olive" has been more popular and popularized for a long time
