On June 29, Nanhai District held a symposium on the Ai industry, which attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. On July 7, taking advantage of the good season of picking wormwood, Lishui Town carried out the first "Searching for Artemisia" research activity in the Meidaoli Rural Life Experience Base, popularizing the knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine and conveying the concept of healthy life to parent-child families, and at the same time promoting the deep integration of mugwort health care and cultural tourism industry, so that "Artemisia" can enter thousands of households.

In the morning of the same day, the parents and children came to the Meidaoli Rural Life Experience Base. I saw that the wormwood was tall and green, exuding a faint fragrance. Under the guidance of the manager, Hong Meiyu, parents and children held small baskets in their hands and shuttled through the field paths to experience the fun of picking wormwood. "The stems of this wormwood are red, and the leaves are shaped like duck's feet, so we call it 'red-footed wormwood'." The children curiously observed the form of wormwood, carefully learned the cultural knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine, and experienced the traditional farming culture, and the scorching heat did not stop their enthusiasm at all.

"Wormwood has the effect of warming menstruation and dissipating cold, dispelling dampness and relieving pain, and eating it with eggs can not only nourish the body, but also enhance immunity." After the picking, Hong Meiyu demonstrated how to cook wormwood egg soup on the spot. Washing, drying, cooking...... After a while, the surrounding air was filled with the scent of wormwood. Seeing the wormwood they picked being cooked into a delicious dish, the children immediately turned into "snack goods", and couldn't wait to taste it and exclaimed: "The wormwood is so fragrant!" When I go home, I have to learn how to cook for my parents."
Parents and children watched the cooking process of wormwood egg soup.
In addition to food supplements, wormwood also has many wonderful uses, such as homemade wormwood sachet ornaments, which can play a role in repelling mosquitoes and evil spirits, and refreshing the mind. I saw that the parents and children listened to Hong Meiyu's explanation, and at the same time made sachets with great interest from dried wormwood, coarse cloth, silk thread and tassels. Between a package and a wrap, with fine and dense stitches, a small and delicate "zongzi sachet" is completed.

In the Meidaoli Rural Life Experience Base, rice, melons, fruits, and vegetables grow in succession, forming a pastoral landscape like spring all year round, which is a small microcosm of "green in the South China Sea". Two years ago, Hung Meiyu noticed that the current concept of healthy life was promoted, so she embedded the culture of traditional Chinese medicine into the base, and planted a variety of Chinese herbal medicines such as red foot mugwort, white wormwood, houttuynia cordata, plantain and Ganoderma lucidum seedlings to create research activities and medicinal diet experiences with health and wellness cultural characteristics, so that tourists can feel the breadth and profundity of Chinese medicine under the infiltration of the fragrance of herbs.
Lishui Town carried out the first "Ai Hunting" research activity in Nanhai District at the Meidaoli Rural Life Experience Base.
At present, Nanhai District proposes to use small wormwood to promote great development, complete the health care system by opening up the wormwood industry chain, and tell the story of Nanhai traditional Chinese medicine culture. The pharmaceutical and health industry is one of the key pillar industries in Lishui. Lishui Town has a number of advanced traditional Chinese medicine enterprises such as Yifang Pharmaceutical, Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Feng Lixing Medicinal Materials.
Hong Meiyu said that in the future, the base plans to donate wormwood seeds and seedlings to local residents, encourage residents to use idle land to plant wormwood, and change wormwood from "grass" to "treasure", which will not only beautify the environment but also increase income, and achieve the goal of strengthening the village and enriching the people. At the same time, the base will also focus on the one-stop development of "agricultural production + leisure and health care + tourism", attract tourists to visit and play, and explore more possibilities of the wormwood industry chain, so that "wormwood" not only grows in the beautiful rice, but also spreads all over the dream water town.
