The pomegranate juice vendors in Xi’an's Muslim Quarter know how to flaunt their wares. Then again, they've had time to figure it out. The fruits first appeared in Xi’an via the Silk Road nearly 2000 years ago, carrying connotations of fertility and abundance from the Near East, but over time, they gave birth to a uniquely Chinese idiom. "Bowing down to a pomegranate skirt" 拜倒石榴裙下 means to be utterly besotted by feminine charms.
