In zoology, the peach blossom jellyfish was first recorded in the world in 1880. The specimen was collected from London, England, and named as Peach Blossom Jellyfish 1880. About half a century later, it was found all over the world, mainly in temperate regions such as Asia, Europe and America, and also in Oceania.

The peach blossom jellyfish in China was first discovered and named as 1907, which was collected by a Japanese and named as Yichang peach blossom jellyfish by Japanese scholar Qian Qiu [C.kawaii(Oka, 1907)].

In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, there was a record of "Peach Blossom Fish" in Guizhou Zhi. This is the earliest record of peach blossom jellyfish in the world. In the Collection of Ancient and Modern Books in the third year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1726), there is such a detailed and vivid description of the peach jellyfish: "The peach jellyfish is shaped like a elm pod and has different sizes. When they crawl in the water, they gather and collect. If people gather their fingers and put them aside, they don't know how to avoid others, so they take them out of the storage tank. From the surface of the water, it looks like a twisted saliva, soft and without complicated shape. " In the 19th year of Qing Daoguang (1839), it was recorded in "Peach Blossom Fish Out of Chixi River, Peach Blossoms Only Bloom, Red and White Flowers, No Flowers Behind". Other ancient books also include: "Peach Blossom Fish is round, as thin as cicada wings, and its floating surface stretches." As soon as it appeared, it said, "Take peach blossom as life and death, and when it is exhausted, there is nothing." According to the information that has been found, it is certain that China's understanding of peach blossom jellyfish is at least 270 years earlier than that of European and American countries.
