How famous is Linzhou Dangshen? Codonopsis pilosula here is one of the nine specialties in Linxian County selected by the San Francisco International Fair in 19 14, and sent to Panama World Expo for exhibition. Most of them grow in the deep mountains in the west of Linxian County. Although they are wild, they are mainly cultivated artificially. The annual purchase volume of that year exceeded 654.38+10,000 kilograms. Later, many characteristic industries of slate, such as codonopsis pilosula planting, mulberry planting and sericulture, all withdrew from the historical stage.
When I visited Da 'nao Village this time and planned the planting base of Chinese herbal medicine, Dangshen once again appeared in my sight, which made us shine at the moment. Following the trail of the vines of Codonopsis pilosula, a four-or five-year-old wild Codonopsis pilosula was found at the root of the hillside where the gun ran into Nanshan. I found the roots of four or five vines by hand. It is conservatively estimated that the length of codonopsis pilosula is two feet, but it is impossible to dig it because there are no tools.
Codonopsis pilosula is a traditional tonic commonly used in China, which has the effects of tonifying the middle energizer, strengthening the spleen and benefiting the lung. Modern research shows that Codonopsis pilosula contains a variety of sugars, phenols, sterols, volatile oil, baicalein glycosides, saponins and trace alkaloids, which have the functions of enhancing immunity, dilating blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, improving microcirculation and enhancing hematopoietic function. In addition, it can also improve leukopenia caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Comments on "Materia Medica from the New" during the reign of Qing Qianlong: "Ancient Materia Medica Cloud: It is better to join the party. Nowadays, the real codonopsis pilosula has been rare for a long time. There are many kinds of Codonopsis pilosula sold in the shop, all of which are useless, but the taste of ginseng prevention is expensive. It is true that there is a lion's head in the root, especially Dangshen! The unique geographical environment, climate and soil at the top of the southern Taihang Mountain have created the king of ginseng. The roots of ginseng have the shape of a king, and when unearthed, it shows the spirit of a king! Therefore, it was called Huangsongbei in ancient times and is a treasure house of long ginseng.
The cross section of Codonopsis pilosula is five-flowered, also known as chrysanthemum ginseng and five-flowered ginseng. Spread abroad, "petals" no longer exist, and the mystery is the same as "oranges born in Huainan and oranges born in Huaibei". What is described in this ancient prose is consistent with the characteristics of codonopsis pilosula, which shows that Codonopsis pilosula is one of the best producing areas of Codonopsis pilosula-"Chrysanthemum Ginseng".
