How did the history of the Chishui Golden Hairpin Dendrobium come about

Decades ago, the wild resources of Dendrobium nobile in Chishui were very abundant, with annual procurement ranging from 200 to 300 tons. The products were exported to Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong and other places. Due to its growth in rock crevices and parasitic trees, Dendrobium has low reproductive ability and slow sprouting. In the past, the collection of traditional Chinese medicine was a continuous process of pulling and pulling, with one pull resulting in one less pull. Since the 1960s, with the increase in market demand, uncontrolled and unplanned collection has caused devastating damage to wild Dendrobium resources. By the mid-1990s, the wild dendrobium production in Chishui City was less than two tons. Golden Hairpin Dendrobium is listed as a national rare and endangered second-class protected plant
