摘要
蔬菜水果作物豆薯(西南称地瓜)原产美洲,最早由秘鲁印第安人驯化、栽培。15世纪末地理大发现开始后,16世纪的西欧人初步记载下豆薯。16世纪下半叶西班牙人把豆薯(栽培)传入菲律宾,随后豆薯从菲律宾传入东南亚。豆薯(栽培)可能在17世纪末传入中国东南沿海,传入者可能是在马尼拉大帆船贸易中经营中菲间贸易的西葡、中国和菲律宾商人。以后传遍中国宜种地区,并逐渐形成了一些知名的栽培品种。乾隆年间的《顺德县志》最早记载下其中的广东顺德沙葛———地瓜,同治年间的《成都县志》最早记载下其中的成都牧马山地瓜。豆薯—地瓜既可作水果生吃又可做菜炒熟吃,丰富了人们的物质生活。
As a vegetable--fruit crop, Yam bean (called Digna by the southwestern Chinese ) was introduced from America and domesticated and cultivated firstly by the Peruvian Indians. With the great geographical discovery at the end of 15th century, the western--Europeans in the 16th century recorded yam bean. The Spanish spread the (cultivation of ) Yam bean into Philippines in the next half of the 16th century. Since then it spread over the southeastern Asia from Philippines. The ( cultivation of ) Yam bean was probably spread into the southeastern littoral of China at the end of the 17th century by the merchants of Spain, Portugal, China and Philippines who engaged in the trade between China and Philippines under the international trade of the Manila Galleon. Later on it spread over the regions of China with suitable conditions for growing Yam bean and formed gradually some famous cultivars. "The Shunde County Annals" in the reign of Emperor Qianlong wrote down the Yam bean from Shunde county in Guangdong among those cuhivars. The "Chengdu County Annals" during Emperor Tongzhi recorded firstly the Yam bean from Muma Mountain in Chengdu among them. The Yam bean--pachyrhizus can be eaten raw by people as a fruit and used as a fried dish too, enriching people's material life.
