How did peach get its name?

According to the explanation in Shuo Wen Jie Zi, peaches belong to the same category as plums, plums and apricots, and are collectively called "Mou", which means sour fruit (ancient peach varieties were wild and semi-wild with sour taste). The word "Mou" can be divided into "Gan" and "Mu", and "Gan" was the same as "Mu" in ancient times. Pregnant women like to eat sour food. Peach and plum are both sour fruits, so peach has become an auspicious symbol for pregnant women to have children and families to increase their population.

Another view is that more than 3400 years ago, ancestors often used burning tortoise shells to predict good or bad luck. When burning tortoise shells, the cracks in tortoise shells often come back to light and burst out with a bang. When the turtle shell is split to the left and right, the light spot pattern looks like the word "trillion". Mature peaches will also split left and right, and cracks similar to divination will appear on the cracked peach surface. This is the origin of "omen" in Peach. "Peach" is composed of "wood" and "omen", and it is an auspicious tree.
