Cucumber originated in India and was later introduced to Central Asia. In the Han Dynasty, when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, he brought back a kind of melon which was "several inches long, yellow-green, full of thorns" and was called "gourd". Later, in the Sixteen Countries of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 3 17-420), Schleswig, the most powerful post-Zhao master, didn't like the word "Hu" and changed it to cucumber.

Corn originated in America and was introduced to China in the16th century. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, corn was planted in Zhejiang, Fujian, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other places.
