The history of Zhangqiu's cultivation of scallions can be traced back to 681 BC. Welsh onion has been introduced from Northwest China, but there are many kinds of green onions in China. Why can only this small piece of Zhangqiu grow such sweet and crisp green onions? It turns out that this is related to the unique geographical environment of Zhangqiu. From the point of view of the geomorphology, there are many sandstones near Zhangqiu.

a large number of foreign onions transfer in Zhangqiu,
a mu of onion income million yuan, after throwing away a variety of costs, the pure profit is far higher than the wheat and other crops, but the interview reporter found a problem, that is, some farmers have begun to compress the scallion planting scale, replanted wheat, corn, and so on. Crops. A lot of onion growers have no choice to tell the reporters the reason: in recent years, with the growing popularity of the Zhangqiu onions, many foreign onions began to "be near the famous brand", and the foreign markets were impersonated as the green onions in Zhangqiu. In the last two years, the foreign green onions were transported to Zhangqiu, and then bigger than the Zhangqiu. The low price of the onion went to the whole country.
