Introduction: It is called "red arrow", no roots and no leaves, ancient wine is a treasure in the palace, cooking also on the state banquet
Now that the living conditions are better, everyone has a higher standard in the choice of diet, not only to eat enough, but also to eat nutritious and healthy food. Especially for some ingredients that have not been eaten, but have heard that they are good for the body, even if the price is expensive, there are still many people who are willing to buy.
It is also because most people have such a mentality, some merchants take the opportunity to hype. In our country, there is a plant called "Red Arrow", which has no roots and no leaves, and in ancient times, winemaking was a treasure in the palace, and the most dishes in modern times have also been feasted on the state banquet. More than ten years ago, it was hyped into a "miracle drug", a pound will be sold to thousands of yuan, known as the mu output value of more than 200,000 yuan, many farmers planted, then what happened later?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="5" What is the red arrow >? </h1>
It is estimated that many people have not heard of this name, but its other name is a household name, that is, Tianma. This is a very precious Chinese herbal medicine, and the history of medicine in China is also very long, and it has a history of thousands of years.
As many people know, folklore has always been that people participate in the meeting to run, and when digging, they must be careful, and they must also tie a red rope. The same is true of the gastrodia plant, if you want to dig it, you also have to tie a red rope. Because the ancients said that tianma is a plant that descends from the sky, it is called "heavenly medicine". And there is also a folk saying that "Tianma will go, planted without".
Of course, ginseng does not run, and gastrodia also does not run, the reason why the ancients called tianma is: heavenly elixir, one is because it looks very peculiar, it is different from most plants, neither roots nor leaves. When it first grows, it is very similar to peony, it is a small stem alone, which looks like an arrow shaft when it grows upright to three or four feet long, and because the color is blue and red, the ancients also called it "red arrow".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > the value reference of gastrodia</h1>
Tianma in the folk there are many myths and legends related to it, and the history of medicine in China is also very long, the earliest record is the "Shennong Materia Medica", the book pointed out: "long service to improve strength, long yin, fat, light body, increase age." And Li Shizhen also has a high evaluation of Tianma in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Legend has it that the reason why the Qianlong Emperor lived so long was also very much related to Tianma, because he liked to drink wine made of Tianma.
Indeed, in ancient times, some dignitaries, or relatives of the emperor and the state, had the habit of drinking wine made of tianma, and it was still a treasure in the palace, and ordinary people could not afford to eat it. Usually, the emperor rewarded the ministers as a reward.
And gastrodia is not only available for medicine, but also for medicinal and food purposes. Bai Juyi, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, has a sentence in his "Zhaiju" that "a few spoonfuls of porridge with astragalus, a soup with red arrows". It can be seen that as early as the Tang Dynasty, or before the Tang Dynasty, some people have eaten tianma as food, which can be used to cook soup and can also be used to boil porridge to drink, which is very nourishing and nutritious.
In modern times, the cuisine made by Tianma has also been served at state banquets. When Nixon visited China in the last century, one of the state banquets was a dish of Traditional Chinese flavor, Tianma Steam Pot Chicken, which was well received by President Nixon. In addition, when Queen Elizabeth visited China, she was also served with tianma steam pot chicken, which was also highly praised by her. It is also because tianma is famous and beautiful, and the tianma that is born and raised in China is also on fire abroad, and many foreigners are "dumped under its skirt".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > was once hyped as a "miracle drug", with an output value of more than 200,000 yuan per mu</h1>
After entering the year 2000, the domestic living standards have been further improved, the awareness of health care has also been greatly improved, and more and more people are paying attention to health and health. As a result, some medicinal and food dual-use foods have been sought after, of which tianma is one of them.
After the hemp gradually became popular that day, some merchants also saw its broad prospects, so they began to hype tianma and packaged it as a "miracle drug". Because tianma was basically dominated by wild at that time, the market supply was insufficient, and its demand increased significantly. Therefore, the price is also rising, before 2010, Tianma was the hottest, when the most expensive time a pound will sell to more than a thousand yuan, it is simply a sky-high price.
After the hemp fire on the same day, some people saw business opportunities and began to go to the countryside to promote the planting of tianma, not only saying that its price is very high, the demand is large, a pound of thousands of yuan, mu production is even if it is 200 pounds, so the mu output value is at least 200,000 yuan. Seeing that some farmers hesitated, these vendors even said that they could be recycled after planting. So many farmers can't resist the temptation, and then began to buy seedlings to plant, but when they were planted, they basically lost everything.
The reason for this situation is that the price of gastrodia in the early years is expensive, some of which are speculated, the price is obviously inflated, how can there be more than a thousand yuan a pound of gastrodia.
Another reason is that the yield at that time was very low, basically wild gastrodia, and the price must be higher. However, the tianma grown by farmers is much cheaper in terms of price. At the same time, farmers in many parts of the country joined the army of planting gastrodia, and the output of gastrodia went up in just a few years. And the more planted, the market demand did not increase much, so the price fell. And there is also a sell-off, after all, you don't sell, someone will sell.
Now the wild gastrodia on the rural mountains has become more and more rare because of the random destruction and excavation in the early years. If you still have this rootless and leafless plant in your hometown, remember to protect it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > concluding remarks</h1>
Of course, it is not that gastrodia cannot be cultivated. The value of gastrodia is indeed very high, both in medicine and as an ingredient to cook, but it is not like vegetables and fruits, etc., it is very niche, and the demand will not be too large. Farmers flock to plant, and in the end it is the vendors who sell seedlings who benefit. In the early years, many projects to grow medicinal herbs had "deceptive" ingredients, causing many farmers to suffer heavy losses.
Friends, has anyone ever planted it in your hometown? What happened now? Welcome to leave a message!
Remember to protect yourself.
