When traveling in Tibet, I saw that "Chinese cabbage" cannot be picked at will. Do you know why?

In fact, the "Chinese cabbage" you see is not the kind of edible cabbage we understand in the popular sense. It is a plant that is unique to the Sichuan-Tibet line. It is said to be very precious, so it cannot be picked casually.

In fact, this kind of "Chinese cabbage" looks like a tall and pointed plant. The more correct name is Tahuang. In fact, the name is completely related to its appearance, because its shape is like a pagoda and its color is mostly yellow, so the local people call it Tahuang. It is a perennial herbaceous plant that generally grows on hillsides and grasslands with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. From a distance, it looks like green cabbage. It is for this reason that people mistakenly think it is The cabbage we usually eat.

In fact, we all know that the environment on the Sichuan-Tibet line is extremely harsh, so it is generally rare for plants to survive, and Tahuang exists just like this. It can be said that Tahuang is the source of Sichuan. The Tibetan line adds a touch of vitality. In fact, on the other hand, Tahuang is also relatively precious, because its growth rate is very slow. It takes one or two years to grow leaves, and it is about to bloom. In the third and fourth years, the flowers bloom only once in a lifetime, which is as precious as a flash in the pan.

In fact, in addition to the above reasons, another reason why it is precious is that it can be used as a medicinal material. The rhizomes can be used as medicine. If we have food accumulation, constipation, or headaches, we can use Tarhuang. Rhizome for treatment is also a very rare treasure.

It is precisely because of this that when we travel to Tibet, we must not pick this kind of "Chinese cabbage" casually. After all, it is a local treasure. Just imagine, you have touched someone else's treasure. There will definitely be no good results.
