In the East, pears have been seen as a symbol of wealth and good fortune. In China, because the word for pear ('li') sounds similar to the word for separation ('li'), it can also symbolize parting. These cultural meanings vary across different countries.
The shape and taste of pears differ greatly between Eastern and Western varieties. Western pears are typically elongated, brownish-yellow, and firm, while Eastern pears are round, light green, and soft. Recently, pear-based desserts and drinks have gained popularity worldwide.
