The Book of Rites written by Confucius and his disciples in the Zhou Dynasty was written in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The fifth chapter of the Book of Rites has a cloud: agriculture is millet, and it is the moon. The son of heaven is ashamed of Han Tao, because he tasted millet when he was young, so he recommended sleeping in the temple first. "Han Tao, cherry.

The theory of Lu Zhu in the Spring and Autumn Period in the Pre-Qin Dynasty was recorded in Yingsheng, so it was called Han Tao.

Ya Ya in the Song Dynasty also said: It is also called Ying Tao, which is eaten by warblers, so it is called Ying Tao. In the pre-Qin period, it was called Han Tao, which means the fruit eaten by warblers. So it was later renamed Ying Tao. After Qin and Han Dynasties, Ying Tongying was renamed Cherry. "

"View of the Eastern Han Dynasty" contains: "The Moon Banquet is a minister in Zhaoyuan, a big official enters cherry blossoms, and Chiying is a dish and a minister. Under the moon, the plate is the same color as the peach. All the ministers laughed at the empty clouds. This story explains the name and color of cherry, which is consistent with the present. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, joked with his ministers at a banquet. In a poem entitled "Give Cherry" written in the rhyme of limited spring, he called cherry "the treasure on the table". Since then, the word cherry has appeared many times in Tang and Song poetry and historical records, as well as many varieties such as Zhu Ying, Ziying and Waying. "

Therefore, there were records of cherries in the pre-Qin period. At that time, there were no diplomatic seeds, and cherries were always made in China. Whether there were cherries abroad in the pre-Qin period was uncertain, so it was impossible to spread them at that time. It was there before it was sent out.
