The founder of the post-Zhao Dynasty made a law: No matter what you say or write, it is strictly forbidden to use the word "Hu", so please forgive the offenders. Schleswig-Holstein summoned local officials in the court of Shan Yu. During a routine lunch, Schleswig-Holstein pointed to a plate of cucurbit silk and asked Fan Tan, "Do you know the name of this thing?"
Fan Tan saw that Shile was deliberately questioning him, so he respectfully replied, "Purple case delicacies, silver cups of green tea, golden bottles of nectar, and jade plate cucumbers." Schleswig-Holstein smiled with satisfaction.
Since then, cucurbit silk has been called cucumber and circulated between the government and the opposition. By the Tang Dynasty, cucumber had become a common vegetable in the north and south. There are many kinds of cucumbers now, which can be roughly divided into spring cucumber, shelf cucumber and dried cucumber.
