《天工开物·上篇·甘嗜》
古代时中国还不知道用甘蔗制糖，直到唐代宗大历年间，西域僧人邹和尚到四川遂宁县旅游时，才传授了制糖的方法。
凡蔗古来中国不知造糖，唐大历间，西僧邹和尚游蜀中遂宁始传其法。
In ancient times, China did not know how to make sugar from sugarcane. It was only during the Dali Era of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty that the Western monk Monk Zou traveled to Suining County in Sichuan and taught the method for making sugar.
