Originally named "Shi Jia Pear", Ming Hongwu 14 "Guangyuan County Records" said, "Shi Jia Pear, the best pear, grows in Cangxi". The Qing Emperor Kangxi's "Cangxi County Records" was named Sydney because it was "white as snow, sweet as honey, fragrant without residue, and melted in the mouth". In order to distinguish it from other Sydney, it is called Cangxi Sydney or Cangxi pear.

The fruit of Cangxi Sydney is big and small, crisp and slag-melting, and the juice is sweet. It can moisten lung, eliminate phlegm, diminish inflammation and regulate qi, and blacken beard and hair.

The Cangxi County Records of the Republic of China said: "Cangxi pears are nearly conical, and the largest one is more than a catty. The flesh is delicate, white as snow, clean as jade, rich in juice, rich in aroma, sweet in taste and refreshing without residue. Its quality is far superior to other pears. In addition, canning, cooking delicacies, refining ointment, moistening lung and resolving phlegm, diminishing inflammation and regulating qi, clearing heart and improving eyesight, strengthening brain and increasing intelligence have special benefits.
