Cornus officinalis is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine known as anti-aging and life-prolonging medicine, which has high nourishing value and health-preserving function. Regular drinking can improve immunity and prolong life. The discovery of new anti-cancer and anti-HIV functions of Cornus officinalis has attracted worldwide attention for its medicinal value. At present, Cornus officinalis resources are generally scarce in the world, most of which are in China. Due to the influence of climate and geographical environment, the growth range of Cornus officinalis in China is further limited. Although it has been brought into artificial cultivation, the planting area is gradually expanding, but the output is still very low, and the demand for medicinal materials at home and abroad is still in short supply. Yellow flowers in spring and crimson fruits in autumn are excellent garden ornamental plants.
