Kumquat has been planted in Ziyang for nearly a thousand years. As far back as the Tang Dynasty, there were records of its production, acquisition and transportation. Kumquat is as big as an ancient copper coin, bright in color and red in yellow, so it is named Kumquat. And because of its excellent quality, it was favored by officials in the ruling and opposition circles, and it was listed as a court tribute, and an orange official was set up in Xing' an Prefecture (now Ankang) to be responsible for the production and delivery of Gong Ju; In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was a saying that "one ship of oranges was healthy, and two ships of grain returned to Ziyang", which also showed the economic value of Ziyang oranges at that time, so Ziyang tribute oranges were famous in the northwest and spread everywhere. Ziyang kumquat is famous for its "small skin and sweet taste", and its planting area has reached 30 thousand mu.
