Second, the medicinal value of honeysuckle
Honeysuckle not only has incomparable extensive medicinal value, but also its health care and beauty effects need to be further developed and utilized. Honeysuckle is a precious Chinese herbal medicine in China, and our ancestors had a certain understanding of honeysuckle as early as 2200 years ago. "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing" lists honeysuckle as the top grade, which has a clear record of "taking it for a long time but neglecting it"; The famous doctor Bielu records that honeysuckle has the effect of treating "body swelling due to summer heat". Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica that honeysuckle can cure "all rheumatism, toxic swelling, scabies and bayberry sores." It is said that honeysuckle is not only a good medicine to cure wind, relieve depression, stop dysentery and drive away corpses, but also a good medicine to clear away heat and toxic materials, reduce swelling and produce sores. Li Shizhen also clearly concluded that flowers, stems, leaves and rhizosphere bacteria of Lonicera japonica Thunb have the same function, and long-term administration can make people keep fit and prolong life. Honeysuckle can be used alone, or combined with other medicinal materials, or used as medicine, or soaked in wine, or taken orally, or used externally, with good results. In the Qing Dynasty's book "Cloud Records of Imperial Cigarettes", it was described that Empress Dowager Cixi used honeysuckle to wash her face to maintain her skin, and beauty beauty rejuvenated her children. "The Queen Mother will rest in peace for half an hour." Why not suggest that I try it in summer? Renai Hospital? "Young malaria is the distilled liquid of honeysuckle." These juices are rich in astringency, which can make the part of the skin that Empress Dowager Cixi has just washed for chickens relax tightly, and also stop those wrinkles from stretching and expanding. The effect is amazing! "The palace secret recipe' Yanshou Dan' used by Qingganlong is mainly honeysuckle.
In 1950s, President Mao Zedong once told people, "Honeysuckle and Boat-fruited Sterculia are two kinds of Chinese medicines which are very good for human voice." Recently, American scientists announced that honeysuckle can prevent and treat the chronic disease "AIDS" that has never been cured in the world.
With the continuous progress of science and technology in the world, the understanding of honeysuckle at home and abroad has been further improved. According to modern pharmacological analysis, chlorogenic acid is the main useful component in flowers, stems and leaves of Lonicera japonica Thunb. Clinically, chlorogenic acid has broad-spectrum antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects. Honeysuckle also contains saponins, inositol, volatile oil and flavonoids. The stem contains saponin, luteolin and cellulose. The leaves contain honeysuckle, tannin, strychnine, syringin and so on. Fruit also contains beneficial substances such as reducing sugar.
Modern medical research has proved that honeysuckle has strong antibacterial ability against streptococcus and meningococcus. Honeysuckle has a good effect on treating influenza and many inflammations. According to the survey, in China, honeysuckle is used in one third of the prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine. The well-known and commonly used Yinqiao Jiedu Pill, Yinhuang Oral Liquid and Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid are all made of honeysuckle as the main raw material. Honeysuckle with forsythia suspensa, folium Isatidis, Rhizoma Phragmitis and Glycyrrhrizae Radix can effectively prevent "epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis" and "Japanese encephalitis" by decocting in water without drinking tea.

Honeysuckle is a treasure, which is indispensable for epidemic prevention and treatment. Health care is of great use and benefits the people, the country and the people!
Third, the ecological benefits of honeysuckle
Honeysuckle has developed root system and wide adaptability. Honeysuckle is flourishing with high leaf area density. A three-year-old honeysuckle plant usually has more than 300 branches. Within the control of its branches and leaves, strong winds can't blow away the soil, and raindrops from heavy rain can't splash on the ground. Honeysuckle has strong drought resistance, barren resistance, waterlogging resistance, saline-alkali resistance and soil and water conservation ability.
Honeysuckle has a good protective effect on slope protection and dike protection. In August, 2000 1 year, Yuanyang river affairs bureau of Henan province (national first-class river management unit) planted "jinfeng1"honeysuckle in Fengqiu agricultural center on the sunny slope of baili yellow river levee under its jurisdiction, and listed it as an important project with multiple functions of "flood control and dike protection", "greening and viewing" and "increasing income". Honeysuckle has thick main roots and dense capillary roots like cobwebs. Besides medicine, it is mainly used for soil and water conservation, vegetation restoration and climate regulation. Planting honeysuckle in plain sandy areas can prevent wind and sand fixation, prevent soil desertification, increase salt content and reduce disasters.
Honeysuckle grows vigorously and has wide adaptability. No matter in mountainous areas, plains, clayey soil, sandy soil and saline-alkali soil, the soil is slightly acidic and alkaline and can grow well. The site conditions of honeysuckle in fengqiu county are mostly low-lying saline-alkali land, the old course of the Yellow River or sandy and barren soil in the Yellow River beach area. "Jinfeng 1" Flos Lonicerae thrives under the growth conditions of PH 5.6-8.5, organic matter content 0.5-0.6% and hydrolyzed nitrogen content 30-40ppm.
At the temperature below 3 degrees Celsius, the physiological activity of honeysuckle is weak and its growth is extremely slow. Germination begins above 5 degrees Celsius, and new branches are taken out; Above 15℃, new branches grow rapidly and begin to breed new buds; Buds grow well at around 20 degrees Celsius.
Honeysuckle is suitable for planting all over the country. According to historical records: Liaoning and Heilongjiang in the north and Guangdong and Hainan Island in the south; Honeysuckle is distributed in Shandong, the Korean Peninsula in the east, the Himalayas on the roof of the world and the foot of Tianshan Mountain in the west. China's neighbors, such as Japan, North Korea and Russia, also have a small amount of wild honeysuckle. Honeysuckle is planted in mountainous hills and can grow tenaciously even in the crevices of stones. Honeysuckle can still thrive on the edge of the long flowing sand dunes and beside the rice fields with perennial water accumulation.
With the development of western China and the need of "recreating a beautiful mountain", the mountain management and water control projects such as returning farmland to forests and grasslands in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River and Yellow River in China are fully launched, and honeysuckle will surely show its important ecological protection role in ecological construction.
Fourth, the tourism benefits of honeysuckle
Honeysuckle in early summer is elegant. As soon as we entered Fengqiu100000 mu honeysuckle producing area in Henan Province, the first thing we saw was the dense green leaves. In the honeysuckle garden, there is an endless world of flowers and an ocean of flowers everywhere. Yellow and white honeysuckle, like gold and silver, was surrounded by charming fragrance and touched my heart. The smiling faces of the flower pickers danced among the flowers, appearing and disappearing. What a beautiful picture of a hundred miles of flowers and beautiful women, which makes people linger.
Honeysuckle is not only an efficient agricultural planting project, but also a long-term sustainable development project with great tourism and ecological construction functions. Mr. Liang, the owner of a modern agricultural science and technology demonstration park, which is the largest in Hebei Province and the first-class in China, is invested by the state. In March, 2002, he came to Fengqiu, Henan Province, and witnessed the charming scene of "Jinfeng 1" silver flower tree blooming in a large area. It was rich in varieties, simple and elegant, elegant and very ornamental. Mr. Liang repeatedly praised: Good! All right! Very good! This is really a "wonderful flower"! And immediately put forward: no matter how much it costs, even a few hundred dollars a plant, we must first buy back some such strange and beautiful "Jinfeng No.1" honeysuckle trees for relatives and friends to watch.
In China's agricultural industrial structure adjustment and western development, honeysuckle will surely attract the attention of the whole society. Honeysuckle will play an important role in the project of returning farmland to forests, controlling grassy hills and controlling water. With the rapid development of the times, honeysuckle, a precious medicinal material, will be more widely developed and utilized, and its comprehensive benefits will be further improved.
