Describe the weather outside Yanmenguan changes greatly, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Xinjiang is rich in melon and fruit resources. Eating melons and fruits in summer is not only common, but also eating watermelons in cold weather is rare. Melon farmers in the north and south of Tianshan Mountain have melon pits, which are good at storing fruits and vegetables. Generally, melons and grapes are hung in melon pits, and watermelons are buried in grain piles or sand to keep fresh. The most interesting thing is the way farmers in southern Xinjiang store grapes. 9.5438 June+10 When the grapes ripened, they were hung in a specially-built earthen house. This house is not too high, the walls are particularly thick, the doors and windows are small, and it is easy to keep warm. Then close the doors and windows, raise the loess and let it fall on the grapes to form an insulation layer. In winter, they put a bowl of water on the windowsill to measure the temperature inside the house. If there is a thin layer of ice in the bowl, it means that the temperature in the room has reached below zero. If the ice is thick; This means that it needs heating. The heating method is to bring a sheep in and raise it, and use the heat emitted by the body to adjust the temperature in the house, so as to achieve the purpose of antifreeze and grape preservation.

Xinjiang is known as the "hometown of melons and fruits". There are many melons and fruits here, and the varieties are of good quality, which are among the best in China and even in Asia. Xinjiang is located in the center of Asia-Europe continent, with a typical continental climate, dry and little rain. However, the melting water of alpine snow and ice is very rich, which is beneficial to irrigation agriculture, especially here, the sunshine time is long (the annual average sunshine hours are 2500-3600 hours, which is one of the longest in China), and the temperature difference between day and night is large (the average temperature difference between day and night1-20 degrees Celsius or above). These geographical and climatic conditions are very conducive to the growth of melon and fruit crops and the accumulation of sugar in melon and fruit. Therefore, melons, watermelons, grapes, apricots and other fruits in Xinjiang have high sugar content and rich nutrition. It is said that there are six major fruit regions in the world, and Xinjiang is one of them. Of course, because the geographical climate and soil conditions in different areas of Xinjiang are not exactly the same, the types and varieties of famous melons and fruits produced are not the same. The song "Dingdang" written earlier is a summary of people's images of different famous melons and fruits in different regions of Xinjiang.

If we rank Xinjiang melons and fruits, grapes will undoubtedly rank first. In autumn, when you travel to Xinjiang, you will see all kinds of grapes on sale everywhere.

It is said that the hungry source of this name is also related to Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Watermelon. As the name implies, it comes from the west. According to historical records, watermelon originated in Africa, and was introduced to Xinjiang more than 0/000 years ago, and then from Xinjiang to the mainland. It can be said that Xinjiang watermelon is an old-timer of China.
