Qingshan longan has been a "tribute" since the Song Dynasty. However, more than 2 years ago, this "Millennium tribute" was neglected because it was "left to its own devices" and its quality was not as good as before.
In p>28, the Longan Association was established in Qingshan Village. They did three things: technology control, brand building and unified sales. Since then, the value of Qingshan Longan has soared, and now 1 kg has been sold to 3 yuan.
Huang fa tong is an ordinary farmer in Qingshan village, who has planted 2 mu and more than 6 longan trees. On the morning of 17th, he took a reporter to his longan forest, which was in the mature season of Qingshan longan, and the longan trees were covered with heavy fruits. He just received a notice from the Longan Association in the village, and another order for 5 kilograms came. He had to call the workers to pick it quickly.
"The stone is small, crisp, large and delicious." Yellow hair pliers took the reporter around the orchard, and introduced that Qingshan Longan has been famous since the Song Dynasty. It has the characteristics of "putting it on paper without getting wet, dusting it down without getting sand", which is a treasure in the fruit. At that time, Huang Mianzhai, Zhu Xi's son-in-law, presented it to Song Guangzong. After tasting it, Song Guangzong was full of praise. He was appointed as a tribute and given a "Huanglong" plaque.

The annual rainfall is between 1,2 and 1,5mm, with an average annual rainfall of 1,358.7mm for many years and an average annual rainfall of 95.2m cubic meters for many years. The average annual runoff depth of the whole city is 647mm, and the runoff distribution decreases from southwest to northeast.

(4) Human history: Longan cultivation in Changle has a long history, which according to literature records should have started in the Tang and Song Dynasties. "Fujian Tongzhi" contains: "Qingshan Xia Village in Changle is the former residence of Song Daru Huang Mian (a student of Zhu Xi), and the old legend Huang Mianzhai planted a longan with excellent quality." In the Song Dynasty, Qingshan Longan began to pay tribute to Chaoyang as a tribute. Emperor Song Guangzong once gave Qingshan Longan the title of "Huanglong" (because Qingshan Huangmianzhai paid tribute to Longan). There are records of longan in Liu Zhi by Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty, and the tribute chapter also records that longan and Baoyuan (dried longan) produced by Changle had been given a fixed amount of tribute, which shows that longan cultivation was flourishing at that time. According to Changle County Records edited by Peng Laozao and Yang Xirun by Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, it is recorded that "the longan with a large size is Baoyuan, the tree diameter is the top circle, and those without trees are called wild and old, and the seeds are planted at the beginning." It can be seen that in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the method of high-altitude layering was popular in Changle longan cultivation, and a large number of high-quality improved varieties were popularized and propagated. After 9 years, the city has developed longan cultivation on a large scale, and now longan has become the most important fruit in our city. The longan cultivation area in Changle City is 3, hectares, including 2,9 hectares for picking, with an annual output of 28,3 tons and an annual income of 169.8 million yuan. It accounts for more than 55% of the total fruit tree cultivation area in the city. The mature period is mainly from mid-September to mid-October. Products are mainly sold to Changle local and Fuzhou markets.
