Plant origin

Gourd is one of the oldest crops in the world. Archaeology in China discovered the gourd and seeds 7,000 years ago at Hemudu site in Yuyao, Zhejiang, which is the earliest gourd found in the world. There are many records of gourd in ancient China, and there are also many names for it. "Hey", "Hey", "Hu", "Gan", "Hulu" and "Pru" all refer to gourd.

"Pot" and "Lu" were originally two vessels for holding wine and rice. Because the shape and use of gourd are similar to them, people combine "pot" and "Lu" as the name of this plant.
