　　Yichang in Hubei Province has a long history of citrus cultivation. As early as over two thousand years ago, the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan wrote the famous "Ode to the Orange" in his hometown. Research shows that oranges originated in China’s Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, then spread downstream along the Yangtze River to areas south of the Huai River, all the way to the lower reaches of the Yangtze and even the Lingnan region. Through centuries of careful cultivation and selection by the Chinese people, citrus fruits have become a precious fruit for humanity.
