【Abstract】 Loofah is native to tropical Asia. Since it was introduced to China, it has become a common vegetable and is loved by people. The earliest records of the term "loofah" in China can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, and it was scattered in various books of the Song Dynasty. Loofah was first seen mostly in medical prescriptions and was used as a medicine. Later, people gradually realized its edible value and it became a cultivated vegetable in farms. The spread of loofah in China was generally along the route from the southeast coast to the inland areas. After the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has become a widely planted vegetable throughout the country. However, due to environmental factors, it is especially widely planted in the south.更多还原
