According to historical records, the cultivation of Yali pear in Ningjin began in the Qin and Han Dynasties, with a history of more than 2,000 years. According to the records of Hebei Province, "Yali pear originated in Ningjin". Sima Qian's Biography of Historical Records of Huo Zhi records: "South of Changshan Mountain, there are thousands of trees in the river". "Land" means "pear", and "south of Changshan, between river and economy" is the area of Ningjin, Zhaoxian and Jinxian today. The quality of Ningjin Yali pear has been widely praised since the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, and it has become a sacrifice since the Three Kingdoms. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, cultivation flourished. Because of its unique quality and sweet taste, it was introduced to Hejian and Jiaohe in the Ming Dynasty. Large-scale planting has been formed in the light years of Qing Dynasty, and more than 1000 pear orchards can be seen everywhere. Up to now, there are still ancient pear trees in Ningjin County, more than 50 years ago/kloc-0. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, pear cultivation in Ningjin developed rapidly, and orchards were all built in the sandy wasteland along the old Hutuo River. 1987, Ningjin County was identified by the Ministry of Forestry as the first batch of "Yali Famous Economic Forest Base Counties" and was named "China Yali Town".

The long cultivation history and special geographical advantages have created the unique quality of Ningjin Yali pear, which has been selling well at home and abroad since the Qing Dynasty and is deeply loved by consumers. In the ninth year of Qing Jiaqing, Ningjin Yali pear was "brought" into the international market by Tianjin fruit merchants; During Guangxu period, it was exported to Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries through Zhenfeng Trading Company. 1949 to 1952 entrusted Tianjin Guanchanglong Commercial Bank to export, which was once marked as "Tianjin Yali". In the 1980s, Ningjin County was successively identified as the export base of Yali pear by the state, Tianjin and Hebei Grain and Oil Import and Export Corporation, and its products still entered the international market through Tianjin Port, and it was renamed as "Ningjin Yali pear", which has been well-known at home and abroad since then.

Jinzhou is the origin of Hebei Yali pear, which has been cultivated for 2000 years. 1300 years ago, Wei Zhi, a famous Jinzhou native in the Tang Dynasty, personally cultivated a high-quality pear variety, which was called "Wei". Later, the pear was presented to the palace as a tribute by the Calm House (Jinzhou was under the jurisdiction of the Calm House in the Ming and Qing Dynasties), so it was called "Calm and Imperial Pear". According to legend, Wei Zhi, a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, went to his hometown of Jinzhou and asked the physician to cook pear candy with pears as raw materials to treat his mother's senile asthma. After the founding of New China, Jinzhou Yali pear was exported from Tianjin Port, also known as "Tianjin Yali pear" and "Hebei Yali pear".
