According to records, one Mid-Autumn Festival there had been a great fall of moon osmanthus seeds at Hangzhou's Lingyin Temple. They fell as thickly as rain, were as large as beans, as round as pearls, colored yellow, black or white, and had a spicy taste.
根據《杭州府志》記載，仁宗天聖年間八月十五，杭州靈隱寺大降月桂，其繁如雨，其大如豆，其圓如珠，其色有黃有黑有白，吃起來還帶辛味。
