According to the introduction by the renowned orchid grower Mr. Chen Shaomin, He Wang appeared around 1988. Its place of origin is Mount Emei in Sichuan Province, and the discoverer was Mr. Deng Yuanxing, president of the Emei Orchid Association. According to Mr. Deng Yuanxing, he bought this cultivar in 1988 at the local flower market from a flower farmer surnamed Xu. The farmer surnamed Xu discovered it on Mount Emei between March and April 1988, when it was in bloom. The farmer surnamed Xu thought it was very beautiful and took it home to cultivate. Due to improper management, he could only offer it for sale at the flower market when it bloomed a second time 4 months later. At that time there were more than 10 heads in total, the roots were rather poor, and the seedlings were not very complete. After careful cultivation by Mr. Deng Yuanxing, it flowered again in 1989, and Mr. Deng Yuanxing named it "He Wang". In August 1990, He Wang made its first public appearance at the First Four-Season Orchid and Tropical Orchid Special Exhibition in China (Chengdu), and won the overall grand championship.
