The origin of sugar-coated berries

1. The name of Emperor Song Guangzong was Zhao Dun, and the year number was "Shao Xi". During the reign of Shao Xi, Huang Guifei, the favorite of Song Guangzong, fell ill. She is sallow and emaciated, and she doesn't think about eating or drinking. The doctor used many expensive drugs, but none of them worked.

When the emperor saw his beloved princess languishing day by day, he was also sad all day. In the end, I had no choice but to post a list of medical treatment. A charlatan entered the palace and took the pulse of Huang Guifei. He said: As long as you use rock sugar and red fruit (that is, hawthorn) and eat five to ten tablets before each meal, you will be fine within half a month.

At first, everyone was dubious, but fortunately, this way of eating is also to the taste of the imperial concubine. After taking it in this way, the imperial concubine recovered as scheduled. The emperor was naturally overjoyed and began to frown. Later, this practice spread to the people, and the people strung it together and sold it, which became a sugar-coated gourd.
