What are the three treasures in Northeast China?

The specialty, the Three Treasures in Northeast China, has two sayings: "Ginseng, Mink and Antler". Another way of saying it is: "ginseng, mink, humulus scandens". 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. Rich people have warm cotton boots, so they don't think that Humulus scandens is also the three treasures of Northeast China [edit this paragraph] Ginseng, also known as "Lu Ren", commonly known as "wooden stick", is a perennial herb of Araliaceae, a precious medicinal material well-known at home and abroad, and is known as the "king of hundred herbs", which is the famous "three treasures of Northeast China" (ginseng, ginseng, because of its enlarged roots, it is spinning.

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.

In recent years, Benxi 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 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.
