The Shennong Herbal Classic states that longan "can strengthen the mind and make one smart, and keep one young". The Southern Plants and Trees states that "Emperor Wen of Wei summoned his ministers and said: The true fruits of the south are longan and lychee", and gave a detailed description of their growth and morphology.
