【Other Names of Mulan Fruit】
Mulan fruit, like Mulan tofu, is part of folk culture. Mulan fruit also has several other lively nicknames.
Because the fruit is rich in pectin, it can be made into a jelly-like dessert called "liangfen" or Mulan tofu. Therefore, it is also called "liangfen fruit" or "liangfenzi". In addition, it is also called "ghost mantou" or "wooden mantou".
Compared to these common names, the nickname "Bili" is a unique one and sounds more elegant. Therefore, it usually appears in classical poetry.
Qu Yuan wrote in "Li Sao": "I gather the roots of trees to form a crown, adorned with fallen petals of Bili." Later, in the more romantic "Mountain Ghost": "If there are people on the mountains, wearing Bili and carrying a woman with vines. Both charming and deserving of admiration, she yearns for me, so graceful and beautiful."
