According to the elders in the village, honey pears have been cultivated in Yangjiatai Village, Luoying Town, Pinggu District for more than 200 years.

Most of the original fruit trees in the suburbs of Beijing are inherited in this way, close to mountains and rivers. This corresponds to the ancient environment of Beijing where mountains and water were adjacent. Fruit trees have a long growth cycle, and have been carefully cultivated from generation to generation through natural and artificial selection of survival of the fittest. They have been baptized by mountains and rivers, accumulated over time, and given by culture. Yangjiatai Xiaomi pear is a variety that has been handed down like this.
