Machang Pear Luoyang is the hometown of pear trees in Shahe County. Every sunny March, when pear blossoms are in full bloom, dozens of miles in Fiona Fang are really a world made of ice sculptures and jade. In the 21st year of Qing Daoguang, Lu Jie, a magistrate of Shahe County, once said generously: "Pear blossoms are Luoyang Fang, and this place is actually Luoyang, with a fragrance of 30 miles all the way. We should also carry wine to wash spring clothes." Lu magistrate of a county actually compared Shahe Luoyang with Henan pear capital Luoyang, which shows that Luoyang pear trees in our county were flourishing at that time. Luoyang pear is now selling well at home and abroad with the reputation of "Tianjin Yali pear". Machang pear is more legendary. According to legend, in the late Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen had an official named Wang Chengen, who kept war horses for Emperor Chongzhen by the Shahe River. There is a pear tree planted in the overgrown pasture, and its fruit is very sweet. One day, Wang Chengen presented some pears to Emperor Chongzhen. The emperor admired it and said, "The wonderful fruit is famous all over the world, and there is no pear in the racecourse." Since then, the "bit" of Machang pear has been upgraded to three levels and has become a tribute enjoyed by the royal family. Whether this legend is true or not, let's leave it at that, but the Machang pear cultivated by the working people for a long time has sweet fruit and peculiar flavor, and its stubble is exposed to the sun, with bright white color and undiminished taste. Pears are thin, sweet, tender and crisp. When they are immature, their hands break in half and then break in four and a half. Now Machang pears are not only famous in China, but also sold all over the world. Eating Machang pear has the functions of two-way regulation of flora in the body, lowering blood pressure, softening blood vessels, preventing obesity, caring skin for women, sobering up for men and resisting aging.
