    Probably, because during the Ming Dynasty, corn began to flow into China.

    During the Ming Dynasty, China's historical documents only recorded the corn known as "maize quinoa", and the earliest corn to China was in Guangxi in 1531, and this year was less than 40 years before Columbus discovered America.

    After the American corn was introduced to China, it quickly spread throughout China with its tenacious adaptability and edible quality of preparing for famine and famine. By the middle and early Qing Dynasty, American corn was the latecomer and became the main food crop that was "the grain of the end of the year".

    Therefore, many experts and scholars speculate that corn was only transmitted to countries around the world through Columbus, including China. And in less than two hundred years, corn has been widely cultivated in more than 20 provinces of our country.

    In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He brought back many foreign things when he went to the West, and many of them were widely planted in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. So Emperor Kangxi more than two hundred years later should have eaten it.

    Probably, corn was introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty when Western learning spread eastward, not to mention that Kangxi had been in the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and he was the emperor, as long as there was something, he would definitely be able to eat it.

    Corn was introduced to China in the 16th century, when foreigners met the Chinese emperor and took the ears of corn as a tribute, and the Chinese regarded them as "imperial wheat". Kangxi was born in 1654 and died: 1722, so it is possible.
