Zhecheng, named after the garnet tree since ancient times, is related to "wood" and "stone". Zhecheng was established as a county rule since Qin, with a garnet circulation, and the two sides of the river are luxuriant, and the garnet silk is abundant in Yi, and the name "Garnet County" has a history of more than 2240 years. The ancient and long-standing garnet tree and garnet silk culture that has been passed down for thousands of years has long injected a rich vitality into the people of the land of Zhecheng, adding a green soul and eternal charm.
First, the garnet tree, the eternal hometown feelings
The only surviving rare ancient garnet tree in Zhecheng County is located in the north of Laowangji Township, on the east side of The Village of Wrenzenkou and the west of the village primary school. It is said to have been planted during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty (1023-1063), and has a history of nearly a thousand years. In the past thousand years, it has absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, adopted the nutrients of the earth, and still has lush branches and leaves, lush greenery, green and glory, and clouds and clouds, and can also produce many spherical fruits every year, growing tender green branches from the surface, showing its resolute character and tenacious vitality. The tree is 23 meters high, the tree has a circumference of 3.8 meters, the canopy covers 200 square meters, the diameter of the three main branches is more than 1.5 meters, the length of the branches is more than 20 meters, and the accumulated thickness of the aging bark is 4 centimeters. This is also extremely rare in the country, and in 1986 it was listed as a national first-class protected ancient tree, and it was worshipped as a tree god by the local people.
According to historical records and word of mouth of the locals, under this ancient garnet tree, there was also a generous and tragic historical story in the late Qing Dynasty.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the anti-Qing movement led by Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the Chinese League, was in full swing and unstoppable. The first to respond to this revolution in Zhecheng was Wang Juxin, a late Qing Dynasty Xiucai born in the village of Tranzenkou in present-day Laowangji Township. Wang Juxin was introduced to the Qinggang organization by Wang Quanni, a member of the Shangqiu League, and was elected as the boss of the Lianzhuang Association in 8 villages, including Zhao Zengkou, HouZhuang, Xie Lou, and Yu Shaolou. At the beginning of 1911, he secretly organized the Qing Gang and formulated the "Ten Major Regulations" and "Five Major Provisions" for the helpers not to deceive the elderly, not to scold the young, not to commit adultery, not to steal, not to cheat to eat, not to cheat and drink, and to help each other in marriage and funerals, and widely disseminated among the helpers "Riding a long gun on horseback, Sun Wen was also helping", "wearing a small millstone on his head, wearing a wrapped circle, xuantong sat in the emperor, but for two or three years", "five-eyed gun, six wheels, to catch the main silver", "Zhaocheng County, the county town is small, go into the city to capture Meng Dalao (referring to Meng Bao, Zhixian County, Zhaocheng County at that time)" and other songs. Expand your momentum and boost morale. On May 24 and August 14 of the lunar calendar in 1911, the 41-year-old Wang Juxin gathered the gang in front of the garnet tree twice, riding a white horse, with a mighty wind, counting the crimes of the Qing Dynasty government to the helpers, publicizing the anti-Qing uprising, and together with the gangs in Shangqiu, Luyi and other places, they successively conquered the brick bridge set and the county town of Zhecheng, released prisoners, opened granaries, helped the poor, killed local tycoons, and the prestige was greatly enhanced, and the team grew to more than 30,000 people.
The Qinggang uprising led by Wang Juxin was soon suppressed by the Qing government, and Wang Juxin and 18 other people were arrested. After Meng Bao of Zhixian county tortured him, he tied him to a large tree and poured kerosene on his body and set him on fire. When it was burned to death, the head was cut off, put in the mouth of the cow cage, and hung on the garnet tree and on the tower of the east gate of the county town for more than 10 days. Another fire burned all the houses in The village of Wrenzenkou, and there are still traces of the fire on the west gable of the existing building of the former residence of Wang Juxin. Therefore, the local people built a monument building in front of the gargo tree where Wang Juxin led the Youth Gang Liaison Gathering Point, and the "Wang Juxin Anti-Qing Uprising Memorial Site" monument building was built.
The thousand-year-old standing garnet tree, it is a heroic tree, an indomitable tree, its old age is heavy, the wind and bones are strong, the cold and majestic, the mighty and indomitable, all come from the blood of the heroes of this side of the red land. Every leaf of it is a blooming poem and a dazzling brilliance!
Second, the garnet tree, the gene of the regional civilization of Garcheng
The city has a long history and a long history. In ancient times, it was the capital of the Yan Emperor Zhu Xiang clan. According to today's research, the totem worshipped by the ZhuXiang clan is the long-extinct "Zhumu", also known as "Red HeartWood", so the name of the place is "Zhuye". However, it is reported that Professor Yiduo and Zhu Guolin, director of the Provincial Huaxia Surname Culture Museum, believe that "Zhu Mu" is actually the wood of the garnet mulberry. Professor Wen Yiduo said, "The red heart is the thorn heart, and it is said that there is a thorn in the wood." "And there are also thorns in the words." In ancient times, the garnet wood was called Zhu Mu, so "Zhu" referred to "Zhu Di" and "Zhu Ye". In fact, the wooden heart of the old garnet tree is yellow with red, the wooden heart is red and yellow, and there is no doubt that the garnet and vermilion are the same kind of tree. Zhu Yimu coincides with the sacred wood "Red Heart Wood" totem worshipped by the Zhu Xiang clan and is logical, and the Yandi Zhu Xiang culture and the Garnet tree culture have a close relationship with the same root, the same origin, the same way, and the continuation, and it also more fully and powerfully proves that the genes of the Garnet tree culture are deep and long-standing.
Garnet trees grow slowly, more than 100 years old, and have a chest diameter of only 20 cm. The texture of the garnet is beautiful, the fluorescence is strong, there is gold wire, the wood is heavy, the hardness is high, the toughness is strong, and the wear resistance is strong, so it is said that "south sandalwood and north garnet". The character "柘" is combined with the characters "wood" and "stone", which means that the wood is delicate and hard as stone, which is not the combination of wood and mountain stone as commonly understood.
According to the Qing Guangxu edition of the "Chronicle of Zhecheng County", "When it was, there were many winds, the yin was suppressed, the yin was not formed, and the hundred things were scattered, and the fruit and grass did not succeed, the late spring and yellow fell, and the summer was full of scabs." It is to make The Master of the Five Strings, and to be a yin wind, to determine the life of the crowd. "In today's parlance, when the Yandi Zhu Xiang clan was in power here, the yang was excessive, the wind was not stopping, the drought was rainless, and the crops and melons and fruits could not grow, the grass and trees withered and yellowed, the fruits did not bear fruit, and the people were sick. Zhu Xiangshi believed that the drought demon was the evil spirit, and the evil would be feared straight, and the straightest thing was the string of the qinser. Qin Tong Yang, Se Tong Yin, Se Will Be able to attract Yin Qi. He ordered his right-hand man, Shi Da, to use the best garnet as strings to make a five-stringed serpent, and used the five-stringed serpent to play the yin and yang, thus balancing the yin and yang, subduing the drought demon, praying for sweet rain, correcting the four seasons, stabilizing the masses, and also pioneering the Chinese liturgical music culture.
In 221 BC, after Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, he established a centralized state, changed the division of feudal systems to the county system, and the county guards and county orders were directly appointed by the emperor. In the Qin Dynasty, Zhaocheng County was established as a county, with the circulation of Gargoyle in Yi, the two sides of the river full of garnet trees, the local production of garnet silk, the sericulture industry flourished and developed and named "Gar County", the first county order was The Duke of Zhao. Wang Wu organized the military and civilians to build a version of the city wall, which is 2 zhang wide, 1.2 zhang high, 11 kilometers in circumference, and dug a trench outside the city, which was formed in 5 years, and the four gates in the east, west, south, and north are majestic. In September of the first year of Qin II (209 BC), Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led a peasant rebel army to capture Zhe County on the way to Qin, which is now Zhecheng County.
During the Western Han Dynasty, TuoXian belonged to the State of Huaiyang, the Eastern Han Dynasty belonged to the State of Chen, and the Three Kingdoms belonged to Wei, all of which followed the name of Tuoxian County, and by the time of the Two Jin Dynasties and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the world was in turmoil, and Tuoxian County was abolished for 330 years, and the county entered Wuping (present-day Luyi) in the south and Ningling in the north. Until the sixteenth year of the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui (596), when the county rule was restored and renamed "Garcheng", the ancient regional cultural genes of the garnet tree remained unchanged.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, various states, prefectures and counties arose the cultural landscape of "Seven Terraces and Eight Scenic Spots", and the "Gargou Chunshui" in Zhecheng ranked first among the "Eight Ancient Views". The Qing Guangxu edition of the "Chronicle of Zhecheng County" says: "The spring water of The Tuogou River, in the old city, flows around the temple of King Zhuxiang" When the spring smoke scene of Fengyang attracted many literati and scholars to come here for viewing and entertainment, leaving behind many popular songs through the ages.
Although the beautiful scenery of The Spring Water of Zhegou is not there, from the beautiful and timeless poems of the ancients, I can vaguely imagine the kind of fun and comfort that can be seen in the blue sky when you look up, look down to enjoy the color of the water, listen to the water in your ears, and reach out to touch the clear stream. The beautiful spring water of The Gargou is like a long flowing picture, or a string of flowing notes plucked by the amorous strings, and the spring charm of a moving melody.
Nowadays, the long-standing garnet culture has been publicized and continued in the Gargoku Garden Scenic Area, a famous wood park that reflects the historical style of Garcheng and represents the cultural characteristics of Gargoku in 2009.
The total area of garnet garden is 5,000 square meters. The garnet square built is shaped like a map of the garnet city, inlaid with wood and stone, which means that the garnet city is related to the garnet tree, and the mountain stone is a friend, and a thriving "wood and stone city" is built. There are more than 100 garnet trees planted around the square, representing the concerted efforts of millions of sons and daughters of Garnet City to create a better tomorrow for Garnet City.
In recent years, Comrade Han Baojun, director of the management committee of the County's Thousand Trees Park, has a special love for garnet trees, not only successfully transplanting an old garnet tree with an age of more than 500 years in front of the annual ring tower, but also assiduously studying the strip propagation, seed propagation and garnet breeding management technology of garnet trees, and building another garnet breeding base covering an area of 10 acres in guanqiao west. More than 100,000 garnet seedlings bred at the base thrive, thrive, and are full of vigorous vitality, providing a new world for the people to appreciate the charm of the garnet tree.
Our country is vast and there are many places named after garnet trees. For example, The Garnet Forest in Eighteen-Mile Town, Yongcheng City, Hubei Province, the Gargo Village in Xinhe Town, Hanchuan City, Hubei Province, the Gargo Town, the Gargo Town, the Gargo Village in Surabaya County, Jining City, Shandong Province, the Garlin Town, the Garlin Town, the Garlin Bay, the Ancient Port of Garlin in Raoping County, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, especially the Taizi Ginseng Township and the Purple Sand Kettle Township in the northeast of Fujian Province, located 20 kilometers away from the western outskirts of Beijing The prestigious ancient first royal temple, Tanzhu Temple, has a deep cultural relationship with the famous tree of the garnet tree.
As for Tuorong County in Ningde City, Fujian Province, it is said that during the war and chaos of the Two Song Dynasties, the people of Zhecheng went south to avoid chaos, took the garnet trees and fell to eastern Fujian, and took root and multiplied on a large mountain flat ocean under the East Lion Mountain. In order to let future generations remember that their roots are in Garnet City, they planted garnet trees here and called this place Garnet Ocean. As a result, in the area of eastern Fujian, there is a saying that "there are garnet trees first, then there are garnets, and then there are garnets". The Chronicle of Tuorong County records that the Song Dynasty was the Linghuo Tuoyang of Changxi County, and the Yuan Dynasty was the Tuoyang Shangli of Funing Prefecture, and in the 21st year of the Yuan Dynasty (1361), the largest Tuoyang Castle in the coastal area of eastern Fujian was built, and the Tuoyang Inspection Department was set up during the Ming Dynasty (1436-1449), and the Tuoyang Inspection Department was established in the 39th year of the Qing Kangxi Dynasty (1700). It was restored in the fourth year of Qianlong (1739). At the beginning of the Republic of China, it was the Shangxi Zheyang District of Xiapu County, and in 1935 it was set up as the Garnet Special Zone. In 1945, the county was established, and it was named Tuorong County with the meaning of the thriving of the garnet tree. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was abolished twice in 1956 and 1970, and has been restored in 1975, and has now become the famous "hometown of China's longevity", "the hometown of China's prince ginseng" and "the hometown of Chinese folk culture and art".
Third, the garnet silk, the source of the "Silk Road"
According to legend, Emperor Zhao grew up in Qiansang (in present-day Qufu, Shandong) when he was a child, and his great-grandmother, The Yellow Emperor's wife, Changzu, once went to Qiansang to play in a dream, and encountered a giant mulberry tree on the seashore, about 800 or 900 feet high. A child who was too platinum venus told her: "This mulberry tree only bears fruit once in ten thousand years, and after eating it, it can live forever." Saying, the boy flew up to the tree, picked many round fruits, and handed them to the ancestors to eat. After Changzu ate it, he felt sweet and delicious, and he couldn't help but feel a movement in his heart, so he wanted to sing with Taibai Venus. Suddenly, a fierce wind set off a monstrous wave and overturned the ship, and Changzu suddenly woke up from his dream. Later, the skillful ancestor married the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan clan, traveled with the Yellow Emperor to poor mulberry, and really saw the giant mulberry tree he encountered in his dream. So, Changzu built a house under the giant mulberry tree and lived. At night, when he suddenly saw a giant star descending from the sky, Changzu did not feel a movement in his heart, so he became pregnant with Emperor Zhao's grandfather Shao Haoshi. Emperor Zhao later became the leader of the Yellow Emperor's tribe, his eldest daughter-in-law Jiang Yuan was a farmer mulberry silk weaving expert like his great-grandmother Changzu, so he transplanted the roots of the poor mulberry plant to the shangqiu area of eastern Henan to breed and promote, and the people learned to plant mulberry silkworms and silk weaving techniques, and grew well in the area of Zhuye (now Zhecheng), and the silkworms bred were large, silky and of good quality, so they planted many, many teak trees in Zhaocheng, and "gargoyle" and "garnet silk" were famous for generations.
As early as thousands of years ago, the rivers around Zhecheng, the hills and hills are undulating, the aquatic grass forests are luxuriant, the climate is warm and humid, and the garnet trees in the forest provide a good breeding and growth environment for wild garnet silkworms. Later, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan's Yuan Concubine Yanzu came here and found that the wild silkworm that ate the leaves of the garnet tree was fat and fat, and the spit was rich and good, so he called it a garnet silkworm and taught the people to raise silkworms to draw silk. Hu Cao, the minister of the Yellow Emperor who was born in Huxiang Town, Zhecheng County, used garnet silk as a raw material to make clothes and hats for human invention, becoming the first person in Chinese history to invent clothes and hats.
According to the Tongjian Waiji, "The daughter of the Xiling clan, Concubine Zu, was the concubine of the emperor, and began to teach the people to breed silkworms and cure silk cocoons for clothing. The "History of the Road" said: "Fuxihua silkworms, the Xiling clan raises silkworms, so the Huainan Sangjing Yun: 'The Xiling clan advises the sangjia, and the silkworms are like this.'" The "History of the Five Emperors" records: "The Yellow Emperor lived in Xuanyuan's hill, and married the daughter of Xiling for the sake of his ancestors. Changzu was the emperor's concubine and gave birth to two sons, both of whom had the world. "The birthplace of Changzu is in Xiling Township in the western part of present-day Sui County, Henan. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty, she was worshipped as the "First Silkworm" (Silkworm God). Zhao Rui, a famous Tang Dynasty strategist and teacher of the great poet Li Bai, inscribed the inscription of the Tang Dynasty's "Sacred Land of the Ancestors", which says: "The ancestors of the Tang Dynasty pioneered the method of planting mulberry silkworms, the art of drawing silk and weaving silk, slandering the emperor, ordering nongsang, legal clothes, marrying, still etiquette, building palaces, laying foundations, unifying the Central Plains, and the merits of the government, and not forgetting the world." It is to honor the silkworm first. In the first year (960) of the Northern Song Dynasty and The Song Dynasty Taizu Jianlong, Shuwen called the ancestors: "Teach the people to raise silkworms to control silk, without the need for leaves to cover the body, and now the land is mulberry breeding ants, so they teach manpower to return to heaven." Fishing and hunting are cultivated and educated. Emperor Depai, supplemented by the merits of Huairou unification: Enzhong yuankong, re-teaching the foundation of the country based on agriculture......... The sun and the moon shine together, and the heroic spirit lives with the heavens and the earth. Because she died on the road because she toured the silkworm mulberry of the parishioners throughout the country, she was worshipped by posterity as the "Dao God", "Xing Shen", "Ancestral God" and "Tourism God" who blessed the safe travel. The people of the country revere their ancestors in admiring her people's feelings of teaching the people to silkworm mulberry, clothing the world, and compassion for the people, admiring her broad mind of not killing, harmonizing all nations, coexisting and prospering, and peaceful reunification, and admiring her dedication spirit of "fixing the country with labor" and "doing hard work with death" to seek the welfare of the people all her life. Until now, the northeast corner of Liangwan Village, Chen Qingji Town, Zhaocheng County, still has a relatively well-preserved Silkworm Temple built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1736-1795), with 6 rooms on two floors in the temple building, enshrined with colorful statues of the ancestors, and the walls are painted with murals of silkworm gods raising silkworms and embroidering flowers in The Tuocheng sectarians. Usually, incense is constantly burning, and at the beginning of each month, a grand silkworm temple fair is held on the ninth day of each month, attracting people from all over the world to pray for blessings and good fortune. In 2011, the Silkworm Temple was announced by the Shangqiu Municipal People's Government as the third batch of Cultural Relics Protection Units in Shangqiu City.
From ancient times to the present, wild garnet silkworm varieties are excellent. The "Wild Silkworm Record" written by wuyuan in the Qing Dynasty listed garnet silkworm as one of the 18 kinds of wild silkworms in China, ranking second only to China's high-quality wild silkworm silkworm, and the domesticated domesticated garnet silkworm variety is even more excellent. Yuan Ren Yuan Jue's "Miscellaneous Books in the Boat" poem of the four clouds: "There are few reed geese in Chunzhou, and the silkworms in Xiaohu are even." Ming Dynasty Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica , Worm Silkworm" Yun: "Today the garnet silkworm and the mulberry silkworm side by side." In the Northern Wei Jia Sixun's "Qi Min Zhi Shu - Seed Mulberry Garnet", it is written: "Garnet leaves feed silk well, do strings such as qinser, and the clear sound is louder than that of Van Si Yuan." The Southern Dynasty Liang man Xiao Tong's "Seven Contracts" said: "The ornaments of Jinghe shine, and the strings of garnets are stirred." And the garnet silk produced by Garnet City, the color is bright and bright, the linearity is uniform, the toughness is strong, the tensile strength is large, and there is a history of "garnet silk is the most" saying. The satin, yellow robes and official clothes made of garnet silk are particularly bright and bright, and the patterns are beautiful, the texture is excellent, and it is outstanding. In addition, the bark and roots of the garnet tree are yellow, which can be dyed yellow, so the Sui Emperor Yang Jian dyed the imperial clothes he wore into garnet yellow, which has since become a synonym for the imperial dragon robe. For example, Tang Wangjian's "Three Lines in the Palace" dragon robe: "The sun color garnet robe is similar, not covered by a red luan fan." Yuanren Ouyang Xuan's poem "Chen Shu Sleep Diagram": "Chen Qiao's robe was yellow overnight, and there was no snoring bed in the world." The Song Dynasty Su Dongpo's poem "ShuHan Gan Mu Ma Tu": "When he was old, he brushed for the emperor to idle, and the garnet robe Linchi served three thousand." ”
During the Western Han Dynasty, Xiangyi (present-day Sui County), which was adjacent to Zhecheng, was a famous silk fabric manufacturing center and the invention site of weaving splendid embroidery technology at that time. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records: "The crowns of the Heavenly Son, the Prince, and the Grand Master all have silk, and the color is a group of wisps, and the side is hanging down, and the suburban heaven and earth, ancestral hall, and Ming Hall are crowned." Clothes, jade pendants, preparation of chapters, embroidery by public opinion, gonghou and jiuqing are all woven, and Chen Liuxiangyi offers it. "The prosperity and development of Xiangyi silk weaving industry benefited from the continuous production and supply of high-quality garnet raw materials in Zhexian County at that time. After Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty opened the "Silk Road", the silk produced in the Central Plains was continuously transported to Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe, which promoted the exchange and economic development of Chinese and Western civilizations. As an important producer of garnet silk, Garnet City naturally became one of the sources of the ancient Silk Road.
Until the Qing Dynasty, garnet silk was still a major specialty of Zhecheng, ranking first among the goods in the "Records of Zhecheng County". Only later, the garnet tree was gradually replaced by mulberry trees with wide mulberry leaves, high yield, easy picking, and silkworm eating. In the 1920s, almost every family in Zhecheng planted mulberry, every household raised silkworms, and the mantra of "lazy cotton weaving, diligent cultivation of silkworms, and forty-five days to get silkworm money" was circulated among the people. In 1931, the annual output of silk in Zhecheng exceeded 100,000 kilograms. There are 150 silk pots in Dongguan, the county seat alone, and there are as many as 8 silk rows.
After liberation to the 1970s, the technology of sericulture in the spring and autumn was promoted. In 1954, It was well received at the first agricultural exhibition in China; in 1977, the silk production reached 79,800 kilograms. However, at this time, it is no longer the garnet silk produced by the garnet silkworm feeding the garnet leaves.
Fourth, the garnet tree, nurturing the hope of the industrial development of Garnet City
The garnet tree is also a treasure tree full of treasures.
The leaves of the garnet tree can be fed to silkworms and can produce high-quality garnet silk.
The wood of the garnet tree, fine and hard, beautiful texture, very wear-resistant, can be comparable with rare and famous woods such as sandalwood, yellow pear, etc., so it has the reputation of "South Sandalwood and North Garnet", which is an excellent wood for carving and making fine textures, fluorescent glitter, attractive gold wire, full color, hand strings, Buddha beads, pen holders, vases, flowers, birds, insects and fish, and other high-grade crafts and precious high-end furniture. Garnet carving is a precious object in wood carving crafts, favored by collectors of ancient and modern times. At the same time, the smooth and solid garnet wood is also an important material for the production of living utensils in ancient times, such as the production of garnet spoons, pestles, garnet bridges and other living and production utensils, which are deeply loved by people.
Garnet trees are hardy, drought-tolerant, barren and thin adaptable, easy to breed and plant, dry and straight, rich and thick leaves, good shade, suitable for shading trees in the corners of the park, shade, street greening, is one of the ideal pioneer trees for scenic spots, green wastelands, urban road greening or for wind and sand fixation, soil and water conservation. Moreover, the use of garnet trees to make bonsai has the advantages of beautiful roots, good fruits, strong tillers, easy shape, good planting, and few diseases, and is one of the tree species selected by the bonsai flower and tree masters to make arboriculture.
The fruit of the garnet tree, sweet and warm, non-toxic, into the liver and spleen two meridians, rich in sugar, protein, fumic acid, malic acid and vitamin A, vitamin C, trace elements selenium, carotene, flavonoids, etc., with the effect of clearing heat and cooling blood, relieving muscles and vitality. According to the "Materia Medica", the fruit of the garnet tree can dissolve phlegm and stop bleeding, clear the liver and eyes, cure collapse and leakage, flying wire into the eye and malaria and other diseases. Eating or making fruit wine can cure tuberculosis, bruises, burns and other diseases. Garnet fruit can also be fermented, extract grapefruit enzyme, with anti-cancer, treatment of diabetes, hypertension, cerebral hemorrhage, skin diseases and various female diseases and other effects, can regulate women's menstruation, treatment of excessive menstrual volume, menstrual irregularities, promote women's physical recovery.
The branches of the garnet tree, sexual bitterness, peace, and return to the liver meridian, have the effect of dispelling rheumatism, sharp joints, and water, and are suitable for treating rheumatism, limb cramps, athlete's foot, puffiness and other diseases. Mulberry branches also contain mulberry glycoside 4, resveratrol oxide, which can inhibit tyrosinase activity and scavenge the body's free radical activity density. The polyphenols of garnet are also important active substances that reduce blood lipids. Using modern extraction technology, 7 compounds such as quercetin, trihydroxydihydroisoflavones, euphorbialyene 3 alcohols, euphorbialyene 3 acetate, fenixin, dihydrosangium pigment, cyclocin lilacrin can be isolated from the teak, which have obvious analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Take the soup with the garnet tree and wash the eyes according to the daily temperature to make the eyes bright. With garnet pulp, cotton wrapped in chopsticks, dipped in water on the eyes, you can wipe saliva poison, cure flying silk into the eyes.
It has been found that ethanol extract of garnet root has anti-tuberculosis effect. It has the effect of clearing heat and cooling blood, relieving muscles and activating the network, treating bruises, and can also be used to treat tuberculosis and lung cancer. White bark of the teak can dissolve stasis and stop bleeding, clear the liver and eyes, intercept malaria, cure collapse and leakage, and medical flying silk into the eyes. According to the people around The Tanzhu Temple in Beijing, there were many garnet trees growing in the temple and on the mountain. Later, because they knew that garnet bark could cure collapse and gynecological infertility diseases, people from near and far in Beijing came to peel the bark of the garnet tree, so that the garnet trees in the mountains were almost extinct.
Ancient garnet trees, green all over the heavens and the earth. Garnet City is named after the garnet tree, which symbiorates with the garnet tree, is proud of the garnet tree, and is glorious with the garnet tree. Garnet tree is a witness to the history of Garnet City and a unique business card of the history and culture of Garnet City. Standing under the ancient garnet tree, contemplating and reading a standing history, looking for a spiritual home for sustenance, listening to green rhymes and songs, lyrical homesickness, and leisurely echoing in the heart of a green chapter of ecological garnet city and great beautiful garnet city.
