Introduced to China during the Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 AD), the pomegranate (Chinese: ??; pinyin: shíliu), in older times, was considered an emblem of fertility and numerous progeny. This symbolism is a pun on the Chinese character ? (zi) which, as well as meaning seed, also means "offspring", thus a fruit containing so many seeds is a sign of fecundity.
