The history of peanuts
Generally speaking, peanuts were introduced into China from South America in the16th century. However, archaeologists in China found peanuts among the crops unearthed from the graves of Hanyang Mausoleum. This fact was finally confirmed by experts recently, and it is called the earliest peanut discovered in China. This discovery advanced the history of peanuts in China by about 1600 years, indicating that peanuts existed in China as early as the early Western Han Dynasty. The Hanyang Mausoleum Museum is a large-scale core area of Chinese cultural tourism based on the Western Han Emperor Liu Qiling. Covering an area of more than 3,000 mu, it is a national key cultural relics protection unit. The Western Han Dynasty is a very important period in the development history of feudal society in China, and it is also a crucial period for the formation and development of Han people, Han nationality, Chinese characters and Chinese culture.
