Hequ haihongguo

Haihongguo, a specialty of Shanxi. Haihongguo originated from Hequ County in the northwest of Shanxi Province, and is also called the hometown of Haihong. Sea mangrove, which has been settled here for more than 800 years, is the only preferred rare tree species that keeps extensive management after years of survival of the fittest from wild fruit to domestic fruit. Sea red fruit is rich in nutrition, homologous to medicine and food, and widely used. The fruit contains 15.18% soluble sugar, 1.04% titratable acid and 2.38 mg/100 g vitamin C. In addition, it also contains many trace elements needed by human body, including 66.59mg/g calcium, 2.16mg/g iron and 0.54mg/g zinc, which ranks first among fruits, and is known as "the king of calcium in fruit". Specialty culture: There has been a serious drought in Shanxi, especially in Hequ County in northwest Shanxi. It hasn't rained for months, the fields are cracked, the crops are almost dead, and people are looking for water everywhere. Those villagers who are good at rain will organize everyone to ask for rain at Longwang Temple. A few days later, the Dragon King refused to rain. At this time, Haihong, the youngest daughter of Hequ River God, moved to hide her heart. She was worried when she saw that the livestock and people were dying. Haihong first went to ask the river god for some rain. The river god insisted that he could not rain without the will of the Dragon King. When Haihong saw that he didn't convince his father, he decided to rain privately. After several days of rain, crops turned green, people and animals had water to eat, and the earth came back to life. People were so happy that they thought it was the rain of the Dragon King, so they went to the Dragon King Temple to offer sacrifices to thank them. The dragon king thought, I didn't rain. How can I thank you? After questioning, it turned out that it was Haihong's rain, and Long Yan was furious. She immediately called Haihong and said that she had disobeyed God's will and rained privately, and Ling Chi was executed. As the steel knife danced, Haihong's flesh and blood spilled on the meandering land. In the spring of the following year, people found that small trees grew everywhere where the sea red blood spilled. In autumn, the trees were covered with small red fruits. In order to commemorate this kind goddess, people call this kind of tree "Sea Red Tree" and its fruit "Sea Red Fruit".
