Introduction to Xiajin Sanghuang

The Yellow River flows for thousands of years, and the mulberry forest does not age for thousands of years.

. The great Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, provides us with the natural loess - the most abundant labor material; The diligent ancestors also cultivated and processed the yellow soil in their old way, creating material wealth and corresponding spiritual wealth. This is the cultural heritage preserved in the ancient mulberry forest of Xiajin

"Sanghuang" mainly includes about 30 species of fungi belonging to the genera Firmicutes and Firmicutes. There is only one type of yellow porous fungus that grows on mulberry trees, namely Firmicutes. Every year in early July of the solar calendar, a sub entity is formed, which is light brown, covered, and thick. Around early August, it is a period of vigorous growth, with overlapping tile like structures or single ear shaped structures, appearing bright yellow or golden brown. After harvesting, it quickly turns brown, especially in areas where the fruiting body is compressed. After mid August, the temperature drops, and the growth tends to slow down. After drying, it becomes black brown and mainly grows on the living branches of ancient mulberry trees. The dried products are soaked to a light yellow color, slightly mushroom flavored, slightly sweet, and odorless

Sanghuang was first published in "Treatise on Medicinal Properties". The Compendium of Materia Medica states: "The name Sang'er is Sanghuang, which can be used for both ripe yellow and aged white, as well as gold." It is accompanied by a picture of "Xinzhou Sanghuang". The "Gangmu" states under the "Shiming" item in the "Sang'er" section: "All the names below Sanghuang are hard mushrooms." Here, "Sanghuang below" refers to the names of "Sanghuang, Sanghchen, and Sanghuang parasitism," and it is believed that these three names refer to a type of hard mushroom, not "soft ear," indicating that Sanghuang is a large, hard fungus that grows on various trees. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", the "Sanghuang of Xinzhou" is an irregular block with hairs, and based on modern literature research, it is believed that its representative species refers to the Firmicutes of the Polyporus family. The Tang Dynasty's "Xiyang Zazu" records: "In Dai Di (now Weixian County, Hebei Province), there were tree chickens resembling cup shaped coffins, called Hu Sun's eyes." Its morphological description is also based on this species
