Hetian Yuzao is a geographical indication certification trademark. Hotan Jujube is an agricultural product with geographical indications.
Hetian jade dates, as the name suggests, are produced in Hotan, Xinjiang, the hometown of beautiful jade and silk. The planting base is the world's most famous "fruit eugenics zone". The Hotan area is located at a latitude of 36°59′50″-37°14′23″ north latitude. It is recognized by the world’s fruit experts as a “fruit eugenic zone”. The Hotan Jujube 300,000 mu pollution-free planting and production base is located in Kunlun. The northern foothills of the mountain and the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert are located at this latitude. The petite jujube saplings from the main production areas in the Mainland were "married away" to Hotan, Xinjiang, and transformed into the graceful Hotan jujube. They were refined in this way:
Soil: vast sandy soil that has never been polluted, It is the guarantee of the pure nature of red dates
Sunshine: An average of 15 hours of sufficient sunshine per day to make the jujube trees more fully photosynthetic
Temperature difference: The temperature difference of nearly 20 degrees between day and night makes the red dates more More nutrients are stored
Frost-free period: The frost-free period lasts for more than 220 days throughout the year, giving more time for the ripening of red dates
Irrigation: Irrigated by the icy snow water of the Kunlun Mountains for thousands of years , making the mineral content of red dates more abundant
Natural pollution-free cultivation environment
The above-mentioned natural environment and unique climate that are rare in the mainland make the fruit trees free from diseases and insect pests, so there is no need to No pesticides are sprayed on the jujube trees, which creates a natural and pollution-free cultivation environment for the growth of "Hetian Jujube".

(4) Humanistic and historical situation: After the opening of the "Silk Road" in the Western Han Dynasty, Xinjiang has been reclaiming wasteland and farming in successive dynasties. Red dates have been gradually introduced and cultivated for about a thousand years, and gradually formed Hami, Hotan , Kashgar, Aksu and other Gobi desert regions unique red date varieties. Hotan was called "Khotan" in ancient times. Historically, Hotan, together with Shule, Anxi and Qiuci, was known as the four counties of Anxi. It is the southernmost city in Xinjiang and an important town for human activities in the southern part of the "Silk Road". Jade, horses, melons and fruits from the Western Regions were introduced to the Central Plains through here, and silk from the Central Plains was also continuously transported to the Western Regions from here. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, ancient Khotan had had material exchanges with the Central Plains. In 68 BC, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty "sent his guards to protect the countries west of Shan", and Khotan was officially placed under the jurisdiction of the central government of the Han Dynasty. Ancient Khotan was the earliest Buddhist center in the Western Regions, with rich Buddhist cultural heritage; many famous eminent monks such as Faxian in the Jin Dynasty and Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty had set foot in Hotan. Hotan has a warm climate, rich specialties, and simple folk customs. It is known as "the land of gold and jade, the warehouse of grain and cotton, the Silk Road, and the hometown of melons and fruits." "Book of Liang" records that Khotan "has lots of water, sand and gravel." , the temperature is suitable for rice, wheat, and rose apple. The Chinese people are good at copper utensils, fruits, melons and vegetables (the same as those in China)." "Book of the Sui Dynasty. Biography of the Western Regions" records: "The soil is rich in hemp, wheat, millet, and rice. ． ． ． Xuanzang also said in "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" that Khotan is "good for grain crops and has many kinds of fruits." In the excavated Pulu ancient tombs in Luopu Mountain (from the Warring States to the Three Kingdoms period), peaches, apricots, Fruit cores such as sour plums. In the Minfeng Niya site, peaches, apricots, grapes, pears, angustifolia and other fruits were found. Lu documents also recorded the unearthed pomegranates from Jingjue (in today's Minfeng County). Cultural relics confirm that Khotan's horticulture is very developed.
Hotian area currently governs Hotan City, Hotan County, Pishan County, Yutian County, Moyu County, Luopu County, and Ce
Cele County, Minfeng County and the 14th Division of the Corps have a long history of planting red dates in ancient times. The red dates grown are mainly Zan jujube, gray jujube, wild jujube, chicken heart jujube, golden jujube and other varieties. , but it has not been grown on a large scale. It is only used as a fresh fruit for the Uighurs. After liberation, due to Hotan’s unique geographical location, light and heat resource advantages, and soil conditions suitable for the growth of red dates, the scale of red jujube planting has been greatly developed. , especially in recent years, with the continuous deepening of the adjustment of the agricultural industry structure and the country's implementation of the "Western Development" strategy to increase investment in forestry, the 14th Division of the Corps has taken the development of red dates as a major measure in the industrial structure, and has closely Seizing policies and opportunities to develop the characteristic forest and fruit industry on a large scale has brought the red date planting industry to a new level. The planting area has expanded to more than 100,000 acres. In the future, planting will continue to be expanded in Hotan areas with long sunshine, strong radiation, and high accumulated temperature. Characterized by large temperature differences and large size, the fruits produced are large, sweet and of high quality, and enjoy a high reputation in the domestic and foreign fruit markets. Hotan Yuzao also won the gold medal at the Second China (International) Jujube Industry Development High-Level Forum.
