As for the cultivation history of Hami jujube, according to the Records of Forestry in Hami Region published in September, 1993, the cultivation history of jujube is unknown. As an introduced variety, there are several versions of its cultivation history, namely, Zuo Songtang came to Xinjiang in the sixth year of Guangxu; It is also said that it is related to the unification of Xinjiang in the Qing Dynasty and the implementation of the annual class system. He returned to Beijing to appear before the court and brought back jujube seeds. In the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Hengyin, the master of the Mining and Railway Bureau, was stationed in Xinjiang. According to his description of "the jujube is suspected of being immortal" in the poem "Thirty Rhymes on the throne of Hami in February", it is speculated that Hami jujube has a history of at least one hundred years. The collection also reprinted the record in the journal "Xinjiang Forest": "Jujube settled in Xinjiang, and it has been cultivated for 2 to 3 years according to Ye Chunyuan's" Notes on the Western Regions "during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty." Hami jujube was introduced from Shaanxi and Gansu, first planted in Wangye Orchard, and then gradually cultivated in Wubao and Miaoergou. In October, 1997, Hami Local Records recorded that the introduction and cultivation history of jujube was 25-3 years.

the origin of Hami jujube

According to the textual research of Hami historian and geographer Gu Zhengqing's predecessors, judging from his historical records, Hami tribute jujube originated in the Tang Dynasty. According to Hami Wei's Records of the Unification of Daming, there are fragrant dates in the section of native products. According to "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty. Geography", it is recorded that: Yi Yu County, Tugong, Xiangzao, Hutonglv, Yinyajiao. According to the third chapter of the History of China's Management of the Western Regions, Tang's management of the Western Regions and policies are listed in the state capitals. In the fourth year of Zhenguan in Yizhou (63), the local taxes in this state are: Xiangzao, Yinyajiao and Hutonglv. From the above historical documents, it can be seen that the earliest date of Hami tribute jujube was 1368 years ago in the fourth year of Zhenguan (63), and it was at least 12 years ago if it was counted in the 719 th year of Kaiyuan (the seventh year of Kaiyuan). Although there was a difference of more than 8 years before and after, it seems that there is no doubt about the tribute jujube in the Tang Dynasty.
