Fangshan millstone Persimmon

In the "Fangshan County" edited during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a record of Zhangfang Mopan Persimmon: "Persimmon, a large-scale production of the territory, northwest Hetaogou, southwest Zhangfanggou, no village, no Beijing, Fangshan is the most populous.” After Mingcheng’s ancestral home in Beijing, Zhangfang’s Mopan persimmon was used as a tribute every year. Fangshan Mopan persimmon has obvious scars due to fruit, and is located at the waist of the fruit. The flesh is divided into upper and lower parts, which are named after the grinding disc.
