"Now there are more than 7,000 mu of forsythia on the mountain, and this year's development is 2,000 mu, and next year it will be planted with 1,000 mu, and it will reach the scale of 10,000 mu." A few days ago, in Nanxing Township, Jingxing County, Shijiazhuang, on a hillside of the Taihang Mountains, Ma Qianhai pointed to the forsythia trees that bloomed all over the mountain.

In 2011, Ma Qianhai established the Jingxing Zhizhi Chinese Medicinal Materials Planting Professional Cooperative, which concentrated the barren mountain circulation to grow Forsythia and other Chinese medicinal materials. He led the villagers to build mountain roads, dig cisterns, dig deep wells, lay water pipes, build drying houses... With the continuous improvement of the facilities of the planting base, the former barren mountains have become greener, showing a new atmosphere of vitality.
Ma Qianhai introduced that the leaves, flowers and fruits of forsythia have medicinal, edible, tea, beauty and other effects, and are hardy, drought-resistant and barren. He also found that the mountains near Fangshan Village are covered with gneiss, which is very suitable for the growth of forsythia.
Forsythia is the main raw material of chinese medicine Lianhua Qing plague, its medicinal value in recent years has attracted more and more attention, the demand has increased significantly, the market price has also risen, and it has reached about 120 yuan per kilogram.

"Our planting base has more than 4,000 acres of forsythia entering the full fruit period this year, and the current growth is good, and it is expected to harvest more than 50 tons of green warp fruit." By 2025, more than 7,000 mu can reach the full fruit stage, and the output of green warp fruit can reach about 150 tons. Ma Qianhai told reporters that in order to ensure the quality of medicinal materials, his planting base did not spray medicine and fertilize. At the suggestion of technical experts, he plans to install a sprinkler irrigation facility to sprinkler water once during the critical period of forsythia growth in May to promote the growth of forsythia and the increase in drug content.
The planting base has also led to the employment of surrounding villagers. The annual income of managers can reach 100,000 yuan, and villagers engaged in pruning in winter and summer earn 80 yuan to 100 yuan per day. In last year's harvest season, more than 70 people picked green warp in the base, and the total income reached more than 400,000 yuan, and the demand for picking personnel this year can reach more than 100 people.
Jingxing is a pure mountainous county with a long history of forsythia cultivation and wide distribution. Kang Junjie, the mayor of Nanxing Township, introduced that the township has a green light and strong support for the operation of Chinese herbal medicine planting projects, the approval of formalities, and the protection of forests in mountainous areas, and hopes to lead the way through leading the way, to make the planting of Chinese herbal medicines bigger and stronger, drive villagers to increase income, and promote rural revitalization.
At present, Jingxing County already has 200,000 mu of forsythia resources, and has initially formed three 10,000 mu of forsythia Chinese herbal medicine parks integrating planting and ornamentation, namely, The Forsythia Cooperative, Dongyangpo Forsythia Base, and Zanglongshan Forsythia Park. It is estimated that by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan", Jingxing will build a 400,000 mu of forsythia Chinese medicinal materials industry base integrating planting, processing and seedlings.

"Our forsythia is not worried about selling, and we signed a cooperation agreement with Yiling Pharmaceutical a few years ago, and all the green warbler fruits picked before September 10 every year are purchased by Yiling Pharmaceutical." With the expansion of the planting scale of the base, more and more forsythia is provided to Yiling Pharmaceutical, which is 12 tons in 2020, nearly 20 tons last year, and is expected to reach more than 50 tons this year. "Ma Qianhai.
Yao Zhenlin, deputy director of the Medicinal Material Resources Department of the Supply Center of Yiling Pharmaceutical, is very concerned about the growth of forsythia in the base, and during the forsythia picking period from August 17 to September 14 last year, it rained for 17 days in Jingxing, and Yao Zhenlin went into the mountains three times to discuss countermeasures with Ma Qianhai to ensure that forsythia was harvested in time.
Yao Zhenlin told reporters that with the increase in market demand for Lianhua Qing plague, the supply of raw materials and medicinal materials has gradually revealed a tight trend. Yiling Pharmaceutical has planned, laid out and prepared in advance, and in general, the supply of medicinal materials can meet the production. The company's most core supply base of forsythia is in Handan County in the Taihang Mountains, and at the same time signed a contract with the governments of Wu'an City and Jingxing County, and the next step will also be actively contacted with Hepingshan and Yuanshi Counties to promote forsythia cultivation.
