A few days ago, Jiang Huanming, director of the Straits Culture and History Museum of Zhangzhou CPPCC, and Yan Ming, assistant researcher, discovered a detailed record of the "seeding, production and sales" industrial chain formed by Zhangzhou daffodils during the Kangxi period in a book revised in the "Cai Yuan and Zhang Family CPPCC" during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

reporter saw this description in "Caiyuan Zhang Family Cheng" "The Legend of Shiheguang": "The seeds of daffodils come from the sea and mountains, along the coast. They are sold in April and May. The natives use their homes to return to the sacred scriptures. Each book has big or small, with two or three large flowers or several flowers. Take it to the sacred flowers to sell it to Guangdong, which is Guangdong. Since returning to the market, the benefits of traveling back and forth are very convenient. Shiheguang and his son are engaged in it, and those who live in the sacred flowers are fed, and those who live in the sacred flowers are exhausted to do whatever they want."

The record of daffodils in "Caiyuan Zhang Family Cheng" not only records in detail where the daffodils are planted, how to plant it, and the description of the shape of daffodils, but also describes that Shiheguang and his son are responsible for selling it to Guangdong. "Caiyuan is the current Caiban, also known as Pipaban. It means that daffodils were planted in villages in the area of ​​Pipaban in Yuanshan at that time, and formed a production and sales chain." Jiang Huanming, director of the Straits Culture and History Museum of Zhangzhou CPPCC, said.

It is reported that the records of daffodils in Zhangzhou were first seen in the "Zhangzhou Prefecture Chronicles" in the Wanli Guichou of Ming Dynasty. In the seventh year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1634), Chen Zhengxue wrote "Recognition of Plants and Trees in the Garden" Volume 1: Daffodils are warm in the east of Zhangnan, and most of them are not made of flowers. Jiang Yuanshi left his spare time to prepare for the cloud. Volume 10 of the "Longxi County Chronicles" of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty also records: "Flowers are produced in the north of Tang, five miles away from the city. The villagers sell flowers for their businesses... They plant daffodils. At the end of the year, every family planted each other, and did not give local products, so they sold them in Suzhou."

"Before, how long did daffodils grow in Zhangzhou? Where were they planted first? Due to the lack of literary records, it is inevitable to cause controversy based on speculation and folk legends alone. According to the records in "Cai Yuan and Zhang Family Cheng", it can prove that daffodils are in the "Cai Yuan and Zhang Family Cheng" During the Kangxi period, it was planted in the Pipaban area, and the scale was quite large, and its planting history could be further advanced. "Jiang Huanming said, "As for when it was introduced, there is no definite basis, but it can be inferred from it that it has been at least three or four hundred years."

Jiang Huanming said that the information disclosed for the first time in local literature has made breakthroughs and supplements in previous research on daffodil planting and carving history, and has the value of further in-depth research. It is reported that the new discovery has now included the "Survey on Cultural Heritage Resources of Traditional Villages in the Origin of Daffodils in Zhangzhou", which once again shows that local literature such as genealogy plays a unique role in local cultural research and even local cultural construction.
