"Smooth Forsythia" is produced in Pingshun County, known as the "Kingdom of Chinese Medicinal Materials". Pingshun County is located on the southeastern edge of the Jin Southeast Basin at the southern end of the Taihang Mountains, at the junction of the provinces of Jin, Ji, and Yu. Within the territory, there are crisscrossing ravines, towering peaks, vast mountains and wide slopes, abundant vegetation, dense shrubs, and 85% of the mountainous area. The overall trend is high in the southeast and low in the northwest, extending diagonally from southeast to northwest at an altitude of 380-1876 meters. It is a high-quality and high-yield area for Forsythia suspensa (the suitable growth area for Forsythia suspensa species is between 800-1500 meters above sea level). Pingshun County is a typical limestone area with diverse soil types, mainly including mountainous brown soil, leached brown soil, brown soil, and carbonate brown soil. Forsythia suspensa mainly grows on semi sunny slopes at an altitude of 800-1500 meters, or in sandy loam and gravelly soil with good drainage and rich humus in sparse shrubs, forests, grasslands, valleys, or sparse forests in mountain valleys. According to the "Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) for Traditional Chinese Medicine Production (Trial)" and the "Soil Environmental Quality Standards of the People's Republic of China" (GB15618), the analysis of soil samples taken at depths of 0-40 cm for different soil types in the Forsythia suspensa planting area shows that the single pollution index of "strict control environmental indicators" and "general control environmental indicators" in the soil in the planting area is less than 1.0, which is higher than and meets the soil environmental quality requirements of the Forsythia suspensa GAP production base. Pingshun County has a temperate continental monsoon climate with an average annual temperature of 9.1 ℃. The average annual sunshine hours is 2196.7 hours, the accumulated temperature of ≥ 0 ℃ is 3741.1 ℃, and the average annual sunshine rate is 58%. The average frost free period is 178.8 days per year, with an average precipitation of 608 millimeters. The terrain and landforms in the area are complex, with large altitude differences and diverse microclimates, resulting in large daily temperature differences and synchronous rain and heat. This has led to high levels of "Forsythia suspensa glycoside" and "Forsythia suspensa ester glycoside A" in the Forsythia suspensa products produced in the area, high yields, and large scale, providing conditions for the growth of Forsythia suspensa
