- Southern medicine Gao Liang Jiang

Well-known Chinese medicine two days oil, driving oil, cool oil, butter oil I believe we have used, but many people may not know that the most important raw material of these oils is galangin, and this galangin extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Galangal The main producing area of ​​this galangal is in the Zhanjiang (City) area of ​​Guangdong.

It is reported that in addition to medicinal use, Galangal is also used as a seasoning (such as salted chicken powder, etc.), spices, medicinal wines, and insect repellents. It can be described as omnipresent in our lives. Let us learn together. This magical, indigenous medicinal material in Zhanjiang - Galangal:

Galangal, alias Xiaoliang Jiang, also known as Xu Wenliang Jiang, whose medicinal name is Alpiniaofficinarum Hance, is a plant of the family Zingiberaceae. Going back to the history of Gao Liang Jiang, Gao Liang Jiang was first published in the “Doctors Don’t Record”. Because of the ancient Gaoliang County (now in Zhanjiang, Maoming, Guangdong Province) named after the cool ginger, because of homonym and nicknamed galangal.

Galangal in ancient Chinese Pharmacopoeia such as "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" are recorded. In the "Paintings of Herbs," there is a more detailed record of Galangal: "Spring stems and leaves are like ginger seedlings, and they are high in height and two feet in size, and flowers are red and purple like ginger." Galangal has a significant role in promoting human hematopoietic function. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica," it records that "they are hot, cool, and irritating to hot, lijin urine, pass through three charcoal vesicles, and have a cold-resisting effect on the qi and gas. Eye drive.” Its spicy, warm. There are warm stomach and cold, gas, Xiaoshi pain relief effect. Indications of cold abdominal pain, cold vomiting and diarrhea, consumer product stagnation, indigestion embolism.

The main producing areas of Gaoliangjiang are Xuwen in Guangdong Zhanjiang, Huiyang in Guangdong, Dongguan and other counties, Luchuan and Bobai counties in Guangxi, Lingshui, Ganxian, and Tunchang in Hainan Province, and also in Taiwan and Yunnan. A small amount of cultivation. Among them, the planting capacity of Xuwen County is 67,000 mu and the output accounts for more than 90% of the country. It is said to be the hometown of Gaoliang Jiang. In overseas, there is also the reputation of “Chinese Xuwenliangjiang”, because it produces more galangal dry powder and is of high quality. The output of galangal is the standard of Chinese galangal production quality, and its galangal dried products sell well both in China and overseas.

The cultivation of Gao Liang Jiang in Xuwen County can be traced back to the beginning of the 16th century; Galangal was established in 1998 as a base for the development of Southern Medicine. Since its creation, the planting area has been stable at around 40,000 mu, mainly distributed in the area of ​​Datang-Hualin. Galangal varieties mainly consist of two kinds of cows, ginger and chicken. The growth period of galangal is 3 years. Production of 4,000 kilograms, such as drying, per mu produce more than 1,000 kilograms of dried ginger, the market purchase price (dry goods) is 6.5 yuan / kg. The cultivation of this rare southern medicine, galangal, has a very strange phenomenon. The quality of galangal produced by Xu Wen is excellent and its medicinal value is high, and it is comparable to galangal grown elsewhere. However, the dried galangal products produced in Hainan and Guangxi are only half the quality of galangal dried products produced by Xu Wen.

According to the historical records of "Guangdong Annals" and "Leizhou House Records", Xu Liang's production of Gao Liang Jiang was a tribute to the court during the Northern Song Dynasty. Because of its fragrant fragrance, he hanged in the room to avoid the effects of the disease. Cold, analgesic effect of Xiaoshi. The royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty had used it as a spice and insect repellent product. The Royal Hospital had also used it to prepare food products for the stagnation of the royal family members. From the Northern Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was listed as a government-run product several times, and merchants were prohibited from smuggling. From the middle of 1949 to the mid-1990s, it was purchased by the state and exported to Japan, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other countries and regions. In 2006, Xu Wen Gaoliang declared the country’s geographical origin protection mark successfully. It has taken a big step towards the promotion, development, and standardization of this precious South medicine.

Galangal was originally wild, and was later planted artificially. Liangguo Village in Xuwen County was named after its introduction of artificial wild liang. Galangal grows mostly in roadsides, on hillside grasslands, or in bushes. Hi warm and humid climate. Strict requirements on the soil, with deep, loose and fertile red soil or sandy loam better. We learned from Xu Wen that the harvested cultivars of galangal mostly dig 4 to 6 years of rhizomes during the summer and autumn (at this time, 30 to 40% of the dry product can be collected), washed to remove shoots and fibrous roots, and peeled off. To the residual scales, cut into 5 to 7 cm sections and dry. Most of the wilderness was excavated before May, when the rainfall was small and it was easy to dry. When purchasing fresh produce, the tender roots of 1 to 2 years old are cut out and left as seedlings; it takes about 7 to 8 years for the seed to be harvested.
