Why is corn called corn?

In ancient China, most new things were named after images and then explained. For example, the sun: the sun is the image of the sun, and the head means above people's heads!

Corn and jade are images. I don't know if you have seen white corn, especially horny corn. There is a warm and transparent feeling, and the texture is very similar to Hetian jade! Rice is naturally its explanation, so it is a kind of food!

Taken together, the ancients named it corn! In fact, corn has many names: corn, corn, fresh rice, great rice, bonzi and so on!

Boring modern people are useless. Using corn to refer to Chris Lee fans, isn't the word Brother Chun more powerful?
