Horse Farm Pears Luoyang is the homeland of pear trees in Shahe County. When the sunny month of March arrives and the pear blossoms are in full bloom, the surrounding area becomes a world of ice and jade. In the 21st year of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty (1841), when Shahe County Magistrate Lu Jie admired the pear blossoms in Luoyang, he was moved to write this generous verse: “Pear blossoms are most fragrant in Luoyang; this place is surprisingly also named Luoyang. A fragrant journey of thirty li, one should also bring wine to wash...” The county magistrate even compared Shahe’s Luoyang with Luoyang, Henan, known as the Pear Capital of China. This shows how thriving the pear cultivation in our county’s Luoyang was at that time. Luoyang pears are now sold both domestically and internationally under the well-known name “Tianjin Duck Pears.” But Horse Farm Pears have their own legendary characteristics. It is said that in the late Ming Dynasty, there was an attendant of Emperor Chongzhen named Wang Cheng’en, who raised war horses for the emperor by the Sha River. In a wild pasture overgrown with weeds, there stood a pear tree of unknown planting date, whose fruits were extraordinarily sweet. One day, Wang Cheng’en presented a few pears to Emperor Chongzhen. After tasting them, the emperor praised them endlessly, saying, “Among all rare fruits under heaven, none surpasses the Horse Farm Pear.”
