On a spring afternoon, the sun was just right, and Uncle Li took his little grandson Ah Ming to stroll on the ridge and enjoy the tranquility of the countryside.
Suddenly, Uncle Li's eyes were attracted by an inconspicuous grass, which was lying quietly among the weeds, and if you didn't look closely, you would almost miss it.
"Ah Ming, do you know? This humble little guy has a well-known name, called 'an arrow', and it is worth a fortune!" Uncle Li said mysteriously.
Ah Ming's eyes widened, full of curiosity: "Grandpa, it looks similar to plantain, how can it be so valuable?"
1. Rare treasures
The secret behind the high price: In the market, the price of an arrow is as high as 300 yuan per catty, which is closely related to its scarcity and unique medicinal value.
Misunderstanding with the "twin" of plantain: Due to the similar appearance, many people will mistake an arrow for plantain, but the efficacy of the two is very different.
Precious "One Arrow" characteristic: the unique straight flower spike, the only flower spike that grows between the two leaves, small and discreet, is the mark that distinguishes it from other plants.
A model of the homology of medicine and food: it can not only be used in medicine, but also can cook delicious dishes, such as cooking with duck meat or boiling soup, with both nutritional value and medicinal value.
Treasures in ancient books: "Herbs and Trees Prescription" and other ancient medical books have recorded that an arrow can clear away heat and detoxify, drive wind and dissipate heat, and is a rare natural medicine.
2. The medicinal miracle of "an arrow".
The natural power of clearing heat and detoxifying: In traditional Chinese medicine, an arrow is known as the scavenger of heat poison in the body, and has a significant effect on the discomfort caused by dampness and heat in the body.
Master of wind and heat dissipation: For symptoms such as wind-heat, cold, headache and fever, an arrow can effectively alleviate and help the body restore balance.
Scarcity and Conservation Awareness: Due to over-mining and ecological changes, an arrow is becoming more and more rare, and it is urgent to protect its natural growth environment.
The transition from wild herbs to rare medicinal herbs: what was once a treasure of the field is now a natural heritage that needs to be carefully sought and protected.
The contradiction between the call of the market and the conservatism: The high market price reflects its value, but it also exacerbates the overexploitation of wild resources, and how to balance it is a major challenge.
Under the guidance of Uncle Li, Ah Ming began to have a strong interest in this arrow. They researched information, learned discernment skills, and went on many field trips until they found a small number of arrows during one expedition.
This experience not only taught Amin to cherish the gifts of nature, but also gave him an idea: to let more people know about an arrow, but also to protect it from disappearing from our lives.
As a result, Amin began to spread the word about One Arrow in schools and communities, calling for the protection of wild plant resources.
"Plants and trees are affectionate, and nature is priceless. "In the pursuit of health, we must not only learn to use the gifts of nature, but also know how to cherish and protect.
The story of an arrow is a re-examination of the value of all things in nature, and it is also an awakening of our sense of conservation. While enjoying the gifts of nature, let us work together to keep this precious green heritage alive. After all, keeping a touch of green is guarding a hope.
