There are two versions of Three Treasures in Northeast China.
One way of saying it is: "and antlers."
Another way of saying it is: "ginseng, mink and".
Specifically, "ginseng, mink and pilose antler" are the views of the rich and the official, while "ginseng, mink and humulus" are the views of the poor.
Because the weather in the northeast is bitter and cold, the poor people put humulus scandens in their shoes to ensure that their feet are not frozen, so humulus scandens is the treasure of the poor.
ginseng
Ginseng, also known as "Lu Ren" and commonly known as "Cudgel", is a perennial herb of Araliaceae. It is a famous and precious medicinal material at home and abroad, known as the "king of herbs" and one of the famous "three treasures in Northeast China" (ginseng, mink and antlers). Because the root of ginseng is hypertrophy, spindle-shaped and often bifurcated, the whole picture is quite similar to human head, hands, feet and limbs, hence the name. In ancient times, it had many aliases and nicknames, such as Shencao, Wangjing, Fairy, Polygonatum sibiricum, Shenshen and Ren Wei. The so-called "King of Herbs" is translated from Manchu. Manchu people call ginseng "noble and coarse", which is the general name of grass, and "Da" means leader, so it is translated as "king of hundred herbs".
In the medical history of China, the use of ginseng has a very long history. As early as the Warring States Period, the famous doctor Bian Que knew the medicinal properties and curative effects of ginseng. Qin and Han Dynasties Shennong Herbal Classic listed it as a top-grade medicinal material. There are 1 13 prescriptions in Treatise on Febrile Diseases by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in Han Dynasty, and as many as 2/kloc-0 prescriptions are used. According to legend, Li Yuan, the father of Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, heard that there was a monograph "Biography of Ginseng in the Moon Pool".
Fusong is known as the "hometown of ginseng". In recent years, Fusong ginseng and its processed tonic have been sold to domestic and foreign markets in large quantities.
Ginseng can be divided into wild ginseng and garden ginseng. Wild ginseng is called "wild ginseng", which mostly grows in the virgin forest where broad-leaved forest and coniferous forest are mixed. Its nature likes sunshine, so it needs to be evacuated from sunlight and soil with deep humus and good ventilation. Its growth is very slow. One or two kinds of people attend the meeting for 40 to 50 years or even hundreds of years. With the increasing demand for it, wild ginseng is becoming more and more rare, and it is of course more and more difficult to find and collect wild ginseng.
Garden ginseng, that is, artificially cultivated ginseng, is also called "home ginseng". Similar to ginseng in color and shape, but bitter and spicy, ginseng tastes bitter but fragrant.
According to physical and chemical analysis, ginseng contains ginsenoside, ginsenoside, volatile oil, ginseng acid, sterol, many organic substances, inorganic substances and vitamins, which has special medicinal value and curative effect incomparable to other drugs. Has the effects of nourishing blood, invigorating qi, consolidating body fluid, tranquilizing mind, improving eyesight, improving intelligence, tranquilizing mind, lowering blood pressure, and invigorating stomach. It is especially effective for people who are weak after a long illness.
Ginseng not only has unique medicinal value, but also can be made into many deep-processed products with high economic value. In addition, there are countless legendary stories about ginseng in literary masterpieces. For example, in a dream of red mansions, Mrs. Wang rummaged through the closet for ginseng, and so on. When I arrived in the northeast of ginseng's hometown, the story told by the tour guide made the tourists feel relaxed and happy, and I couldn't forget to return.
Ginseng has been a famous tonic since ancient times. The earliest Chinese medicine books listed ginseng as the top grade, and most of the drugs in the books have nourishing effects on the human body. According to the book, ginseng "can nourish the five internal organs, calm the mind and soothe the nerves, stop convulsions, eliminate evil spirits, improve eyesight, make people happy, improve intelligence and prolong life." After the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, ginseng was used to replenish vitality and enhance physical fitness. That is, ginseng is especially suitable for use after a serious illness or a long illness. According to the legend of China, ginseng is a kind of plant that can walk underground, so be careful to surround it when digging to prevent it from running away. Every time ginseng is unearthed, it is decades apart. Ginseng has been living in seclusion for a hundred years, and it needs to be in the Woods, under rocks, in rotten soil, with low temperature, cool and sunny, good drainage, and sufficient sunshine for three to five hours every day to get precious results. The northeast dialect "seven two are ginseng and eight two are treasure" means that large and high-quality ginseng is hard to come by.
