Basic introduction of Liupanshan Huangqi

Liupanshan Huangqi is a specialty of Longde County, Guyuan, Ningxia. Huangqi, originally named Huangqi, was first recorded in the "Shennong Bencao Jing". The "Tu Jing Bencao" of the Song Dynasty states: "Nowadays, those from Yuanzhou (Guyuan, Ningxia) and Huayuan (Yaoxian, Shaanxi) are also excellent." Longde County is the main production area of "Yuanzhou Huangqi", and the local people have a long history of artificially domesticating and planting wild Huangqi

It is usually harvested 2-3 years after sowing. If the growth period is too long, it can produce black hearts and affect the quality. The best harvest time is in mid to late September, when the content of astragalus saponins reaches its peak

Huangqi has been recorded as a medicinal herb introduced and planted as early as the Tang and Song dynasties, with a history of over a thousand years. It is recorded in the "Longde County Annals", "Chinese Pharmacopoeia", and "Longde Folk Stories" that the people of Longde have a long history of planting medicinal herbs, and the local people have accumulated rich experience in the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs
