Kumquat is named after its golden yellow fruit, which shines like golden beads in the sunlight. It has a pleasant and fragrant aroma, and has high economic, ornamental, and medicinal value.

Once, he went to the field to catch a water chicken, but after spending a long time, he couldn't catch a single one. Finally, he caught a big water chicken with a "yellow green and round belly". However, he saw it open its eyes wide and suddenly spit out a jujube shaped golden bead from its mouth. He spoke up and said, "If this golden bead is buried in the field, it can grow kumquats. Using kumquats to make old medicinal oranges can cure his and the whole village's gastrointestinal diseases
