Chinese imperial officials, known as "mandarins", were famous for their distinctive orange-coloured robes. In fact, the fruit was named "mandarin" in honour of these illustrious officials. Their robes symbolised high rank and authority within the Chinese empire, and the fruit, with its vibrant colour, became a tribute to this prestige. The connection between the name of the fruit and mandarins is an interesting example of how culture and history intertwine, giving a deeper meaning to everyday elements.
