　　　　Product History: Ziwei sugarcane is a long-established traditional agricultural industry in Haining. It is said that the origin of sugarcane lies in the Ganges River basin, spreading eastward to China, Southeast Asia, and Japan, and westward via Syria, Egypt, the Mediterranean islands, and Spain to South America and Java. The beginning of sugarcane’s westward spread is said to be during Alexander the Great’s expedition to India, but there are no records of its eastward journey. According to the "Supplementary Records of Taiwan Prefecture" by Yu Wenqi in the 25th year of the Qianlong reign, “In the Dali era of the Tang Dynasty, Monk Zou first taught the Huang family the method of making sugarcane frost.” This is believed to be the earliest record in China related to sugarcane sugar production.
