Summer is here, and it's time to eat watermelon. Eating a tooth of watermelon is sweet and refreshing, and it tastes great!

China is the largest watermelon producing area in the world, but there are different opinions about the origin of watermelon. There is a saying that watermelon did not come from China, but spread from Africa to the Western Regions, hence its name. Another statement comes from the legend that Shennong tasted a hundred herbs. It is said that watermelon was discovered by Shennong when he tasted a hundred herbs. Its original name is thin melon, which means melon with much water and thin meat, but it became watermelon after being passed down.

Watermelon seeds were found in the silt of the Western Han Tomb in Guixian, Guangxi, which proves that watermelon has a history of at least 2,000 years in China. But the name of watermelon began in the five dynasties, and it was also called cold melon before.

So the poems we read about watermelons are basically after the Song Dynasty.

1, Bi Manling frost lies in soft sand and eats watermelon all year round. -Song Fan Chengda's Watermelon Garden

Green vines, morning cream lying on the soft beach, come here to eat watermelon every year.

2. In those days, pomegranate came from Pu Tao instead of Dongling. —— Zhou Quan of Watermelon in Yuan Dynasty

According to legend, Dongling does not grow westernization, but grapes, pomegranates and watermelons.

I wish I didn't have a pair of slender hands to chop that hunchback and crush a hundred barrels of watermelon.

4, mostly from Hu Aixiang, natural jasper group. The broken body is bright, and the teeth are cold when chewing. -Song Gu Feng's Watermelon

Watermelon with strong homesickness looks like natural jasper. Cut the flesh inside the watermelon crystal clear, and let it cool immediately after eating.

5, cold for ice and snow for honey, eliminate the temperature of ancient bamboo tea. -Qing Ji Xiaolan "Singing Watermelon"

This melon is cold and sweet, just like the seeds of the Dongling Queen. Another cup of ancient bamboo tea (Zhejiang famous tea) is more suitable for digestion.
