In addition, according to folklore, in ancient times, it was an endless wilderness with jujube forests. During the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, a group of immigrants moved in from under the big pagoda tree in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province. Seeing that there are so many jujube fruits here, I can satisfy my hunger, so I settle down here, eat jujube, cultivate land, pick jujube fruits, dry them and store them. This kind of jujube fruit is crisp and delicious after drying in the sun, which solves the difficulty of people's winter rations. In order to commemorate the contribution of this "burnt jujube" to people, "burnt jujube" was used. People of all ages reclaimed land here and turned the wilderness into a large fertile field. In life, they gradually read the word "jujube" as "left" and called "burnt jujube" Jiaozuo.
