中国荔枝品种命名考辨--以妃子笑等荔枝品种为例

摘要

Chinese litchi have many cultivars mainly because it is easy to produce variation .Cai Xiang's Litchi Manual in the Song Dynasty laid the foundation for the naming of litchi cultivars , but the limitations of the communication between different scholars inevitably caused the confusion of the names of litchi cultivars .Taking five famous litchi varieties of Feizixiao ,Zhuangyuanhong ,Gualv,Shibaniang,Jiaohe as an example ,it is pointed out that the naming rules caused the confusion .%中国荔枝品种繁多，主要是由于其本身具有容易产生变异的特征。宋人蔡襄的《荔枝谱》奠定了历代荔枝品种命名的基础，但由于时代的局限性，不同时期、不同地域的学者交流有限，不可避免地造成了荔枝品种名称的混淆现象。以妃子笑、状元红、挂绿、十八娘、焦核五种古今中外著名的荔枝品种为例，加以辨名。由于命名法则的不系统、不固定，导致荔枝品名混淆现象的出现。
