Content 1: Chinese yam, Achyranthes bidentata, Rehmannia glutinosa and Chrysanthemum are four precious Chinese medicines, which are produced in Qingzhou (now Qinyang City, Henan Province), so they are also called four Huai medicines. China's earliest classic of pharmacology, Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, listed yam (Dioscorea opposita), rehmannia glutinosa, Achyranthes bidentata and chrysanthemum produced by Huaichuan as top grade. Later, from the outside to the inside, famous doctors and experts in past dynasties further discovered the excellent primitiveness of Sihuai drugs, and removed the rough and preserved the essence. Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Tao Hongjing's Bielu of Famous Doctors, Sun Simiao's Preparative Prescription, Su Song's Illustration of Materia Medica, Gong Yanxian's Shou Shi Bao Yuan, Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, Zhang Xichun's Records of Western Medicine Health Care, and Benjing, Ming of Medicinal Properties, Herbal Soup, etc. Because of its efficacy comparable to ginseng, it is also called "Huaishen". Yam is an important tonic medicine, which has the effects of nourishing kidney, invigorating stomach, resolving phlegm, invigorating middle warmer, invigorating qi, expelling wind and dispelling cold, calming the heart and calming the nerves, and promoting muscle growth and marrow production.

It is one of the commonly used tonics in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. The processed yam is called Guangdong yam. Before yam is used as medicine, it should be soaked in clean water for 30-40%, taken out and fully moistened, dried to 40%, moistened evenly inside and outside, sliced and dried for medicine. Achyranthes bidentata, known as Achyranthes bidentata in Shennong Herbal Classic, also known as Baihui, was called Achyranthes bidentata in Song Dynasty, and Achyranthes bidentata in Huaizhuang after Ming Dynasty, commonly known as Achyranthes bidentata. Li Shizhen said, "This classic is also called Hundred Stories, which is a code word. It is said that its medicine is as powerful as cattle. " Achyranthes bidentata, medicinal root. Modern scientific analysis shows that Achyranthes bidentata contains a lot of alkaloids, which have the functions of nourishing liver and kidney, strengthening bones and muscles, dredging meridians and dispelling pathogenic blood. Clinically, it is often used to treat cold and dampness, bone pain in the waist and knees, soreness in the waist and knees, limb contracture, irregular menstruation, postpartum blood stasis, abdominal pain, bloody stranguria, traumatic injury, knee flexion and other symptoms. It is one of the commonly used drugs for dredging collaterals and promoting blood circulation in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. Achyranthes bidentata used as medicine should be cut into 4 mm segments. According to the condition, you can also use wine Achyranthes bidentata, that is, take the cut Achyranthes bidentata, mix it evenly with yellow wine, moisten it a little, put it in a pot, stir-fry it with low fire, and dry it in the sun to take the medicine. Rehmannia glutinosa uses its rhizome. In recent years, scientific analysis shows that Rehmannia glutinosa contains mannitol, glucose, alkaloids, fatty acids, vitamin A and other important components. Rehmannia glutinosa can be divided into raw, cooked and fresh. Rehmannia glutinosa can clear heat and cool blood, Rehmannia glutinosa can nourish yin and replenish blood, and fresh Rehmannia glutinosa can treat excess heat, polydipsia, dry stool and other diseases.

Clinically, it is often used for colds, red eyes and headaches, brain and bone pain, blurred vision and gout. It is one of the commonly used heat-clearing drugs in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. Historically, Aibo County was rich in "Four Great Huai Medicines". The unique soil and climate conditions have created the unique medicinal properties and high health care value of the "Four Huai Drugs". Historically, they were not only honored as tributes, but also praised by China ancient medical classics, which refer to Rehmannia glutinosa, Chinese yam, Achyranthes bidentata and Chrysanthemum. In the Ming Dynasty, the Bo 'ai area was under the jurisdiction of Huaiqing government, so it was called "four Huai medicines". According to Compendium of Materia Medica, Rehmannia glutinosa has a history of 1000 years in Boai County. Yam, called "potato taro" in ancient times, has the functions of sweet and cold entering the spleen, nourishing blood to the lung, nourishing the stomach and spleen, stopping diarrhea and solidifying essence, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, eliminating cold and heat pathogens and tonifying heart-blood deficiency. This is a good tonic. Rehmannia glutinosa, also known as "ground marrow", is a good medicine for treating diseases and nutrition. Achyranthes bidentata, named after its basal nodes are shaped like Achyranthes bidentata, has diuretic, sperm-fixing and sperm-dispersing effects. Chrysanthemum, its stems, leaves, stems, roots and flowers can be used as medicine, which is slightly cold and bitter. It has the functions of sterilization, clearing away heat, quenching thirst, calming the liver and improving eyesight. It is rich in chrysanthemum pigment, vitamins A and B, amino acids and a large amount of volatile oil, with strong flavor and unbeaten soup taste. "Four Huai drugs" are not only well-known in China, but also highly respected overseas. Content 2 As the saying goes, one side raises one side with water and soil, and one side grows grass with water and soil. This sentence seems to be tailor-made for Jiaozuo, Yu Xiu, Zhong Ling. Han Yu, Li Shangyin, Sima Yi and Zhu Zaixiang are all brilliant stars in the history of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years. Because Jiaozuo was called Huaiqing House in ancient times, the regional specialties named "Sihuai Medicine": Dioscorea opposita, Rehmannia glutinosa, Flos Chrysanthemi Indici and Achyranthes bidentata, have become profound cultural treasures of traditional Chinese medicine with authentic medicinal materials and magical curative effects, leading thousands. Jiaozuo was called Qinhuai in summer, Huaizhou later, Huaimeng Road in Yuan Dynasty and Huaiqing House in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Today, Huaiqing County was built as Jiaozuo City ("Seeking the Roots of Chinese Civilization in Huaichuan"). It faces the majestic Taihang Mountain in the north, and there is a flat river in the south, which is shaped like a horn. It is called "Niujiaochuan" in the world, and "Huai" has always been a place name, perhaps taking the meaning that Taihang Mountain and Yellow River embrace each other. The "Niujiaochuan" plain is also called "Three Hundred Li Huaichuan". It not only absorbs rich nutrients under different geological conditions in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, but also absorbs a large number of trace elements infiltrated by karst landforms in Taihang Mountain. Coupled with the protection of Taihang Mountain, it integrates the sun of the mountain and the sun of the water, with loose and fertile land, rapid drainage, abundant rainfall, strange water quality, sufficient illumination and mild climate. The climatic environment of "no drought in spring, no heat in summer, no waterlogging in autumn and no cold in winter" is most suitable for the growth of root-storing medicinal materials such as yam, rehmannia root and Achyranthes root. Although chrysanthemum is used as medicine with petals, its growing environment is also consistent with the climate and geographical environment of Huaichuan. According to legend, the ancient Yandi Shennong was seriously ill. In order to cure him, he led civil and military officials, his wife and family to travel widely among the people. On a crisp autumn morning, Shennong and his party came to Huaichuan, and when they saw the beautiful scenery of green leaves and flowers and Lingshan (now Shennong Mountain), they lamented: "It's really a fairy land, a medicine mountain!" So I distinguished grains and tasted herbs here, went to the altar to worship heaven, and finally got four kinds of grass-roots stamens and water to serve, and recovered in a few days. It also makes the four officials of mountain, land, cattle and chrysanthemum protect their values, and is named "Yam, Rehmannia, Achyranthes bidentata and Chrysanthemum" because of people. This is the earliest origin of the "four Huai drugs" circulated in later generations. The legend is beautiful, but the Laojunwa area of Shennongtan Scenic Spot in Qinyang, Jiaozuo still retains ancient place names such as Shanshangou, Dihuangpo, Achyranthes bidentata and Juhuapo. According to historical records, from 734 BC, when the feudal warlords presented Huai Yam as a tribute to the Zhou royal family, it can be inferred that the people in the Qing Dynasty cultivated the four Huai Yams into unique appearance and texture with their diligence and wisdom, refined them and passed them down from generation to generation, and interpreted the history of the four Huai Yams for nearly 3,000 years. In 608 BC, Lu used yellow land to pay tribute to the Zhou royal family; Later, Achyranthes bidentata and Chrysanthemum were included in the tribute. Until the Qing Dynasty, "Huaiyao" was listed as a tribute of the imperial court and collected every year. When the rulers of past dynasties collected the tribute of Huai medicine, they mostly referred to their real names, that is, they wanted to leave Jia Zhuang and Daiduoji Dihuang, Dalangzhai Yam, Huangfu Village Chrysanthemum and the Queen of the Small Temple Achyranthes bidentata. In the fifty-fourth year of Qing Qianlong, Fan Zuoshi, the county magistrate of Huaifu Hanoi, praised: "The villagers grow medicines for their careers, and all the medicine gardens will praise them. Dioscorea zingiberensis is as high as Achyranthes bidentata, and Rehmannia glutinosa reflects chrysanthemum across the bank ",which most truly depicts the harvest picture of the four Huai medicines planted by the people of Qingzhou in ancient Huai. Just visiting has a long history, which the world can't cross. However, searching the vast history of medical classics is enough to prove that the four Huai medicines are authentic. Traditional Chinese medicine has always attached great importance to the source and processing of medicinal materials because of its therapeutic and health-preserving effects. Sun Simiao's Qian Jin Fang said: "Drug use must be tailored to local conditions." Therefore, there is a saying in the field of traditional Chinese medicine that "there is no traditional Chinese medicine if it is not authentic". Huai medicine produced by Huaiqing House has always been valued by doctors in past dynasties for its unique and exact curative effect. "Shennong Herbal Classic" contains: "Henan yam is good." In the Song Dynasty, "Illustration of Materia Medica" said: "Achyranthes bidentata was born in Hanoi Valley ... it is also found in Jianghuai, Fujian, Guangdong and Guanzhong today, but it is not as real as Huaizhou." Su Song, a medical scientist in the Song Dynasty, said: "Chrysanthemums can be seen everywhere, especially in Qin." "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Today people only take Huaiqing Dihuang as their top priority." "Materia Medica from the New" said: "Rehmannia glutinosa is fat and short, thin and waxy, with chrysanthemum heart." The so-called "things are people's native land", which is why "oranges are born in Huainan and oranges are born in Huaibei". During the Japanese invasion of China, the soil in Wuzhi, Jiaozuo, the main producing area of Huai medicine, was transported back to China for research. After testing, the soil was re-prepared to try to plant Huai medicine, and the result ended in failure. In the 1920s, many people in Wenxian introduced high-yield yam from Taigu, Shanxi, and planted it locally. After a long time, Taigu yam lost its original characters and increased its medicinal properties, becoming the main control variety of yam. In 1970s, in order to alleviate the contradiction between the production and marketing of Huai medicine, the state introduced Rehmannia glutinosa and Dioscorea opposita to 18 provinces and regions. Results After introduction, the varieties degenerated and their medicinal properties were greatly reduced, so they had to be introduced to Jiaozuo repeatedly. Once Huaiyao leaves Huaichuan fertile soil, its medicinal properties will be greatly reduced. Even in Jiaozuo, all drug farmers know that it will take at least 8 years to replant the land planted with rehmannia, and it will take at least 5 years for yam not to replant. After three thousand years of historical accumulation, the four major Huai medicines have formed a splendid Huai medicine culture. Cultural celebrities in history have a special liking for the four great medicines. Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wrote different characters of "yam" in his calligraphy works to show his love. Wei, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, left a famous sentence in his masterpiece, "It is freezing in the cold, and yam begins to blossom"; Han Yu, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, left a poem "Yam can be boiled and caught". The great poet of the Song Dynasty once wrote a poem praising: "All the people in the world are elderly, but they have been puzzled for many years. At present, I have to learn from the people and only eat porridge for the gods "(yam porridge); Zhu, a great thinker, praised Huaiyao in his poem: "If you want to give Yu Yan, you are ashamed to talk about honey mutton soup." The four Huai medicinal materials are authentic and have unique curative effects, so they are called "Huai Shen", which is very popular in the international market and widely praised. There is a local saying in Jiaozuo called "Four Huai drugs", "Men eat woman can't stand it, and women can't stand eating men ..." Although vulgar, it shows that the efficacy of Huai drugs is by no means extraordinary. The four Huai drugs all have the function of nourishing the kidney, especially Rehmannia glutinosa and Dioscorea opposita, which are of great benefit to improving people's renal motility. Dioscorea opposita, the first of the four Huai medicines, is sweet in taste, flat in nature, neither cold nor hot, moist and not dry, and can strengthen the spleen and tonify deficiency, tonify kidney and replenish essence, relieve cough and asthma, benefit the heart and soothe the nerves. It has remarkable curative effect on patients with physical weakness, dyspepsia and diabetes, and has extremely high health care value. Now Jiaozuo is trying to promote the brand of "Sihuai Medicine" and has obtained the national origin mark.
