Where does the secret of artificial cultivation of ginseng come from? Is ginseng planted from the Qing Dynasty or after the reform?

Since the Qianlong period, in order to make up for the shortage of natural resources of ginseng, another flexible way has quietly appeared among the people. There are artificially planted ginseng mixed with wild ginseng to pay official ginseng, so how on earth do people discover the secret of planting ginseng?

In the eighth year of Jiaqing, Wang Lizhi, a farmer in Shandong Province, sold all his belongings and came to Jilin. Through the introduction of his fellow villagers, he found the local head, Hao Bingchun, who was introduced a few days ago, that is, the person in charge selected from the planners with relatively abundant capital when the imperial court sent the ticket every year. At that time, in addition to the two-in-two money provided by the government, he must also bring his own 220 silver as the cost of picking ginseng in the mountains.

Hao Bingchun, the head of the government, led Wang Lizhi to claim a ticket from the government with 220 silver. With the tickets exchanged for all his belongings and the four planners equipped with each ticket, Wang Lizhi resolutely walked into the forest and sea of Changbai Mountain.

After setting up the camping camp in Weishan River Xiaoyingzi, after the guidance of fellow villagers, Wu was determined to stay around the shack, first set up a piece of ginseng land, and quietly planted the ginseng seedlings found in the forest after a little camouflage. Wild ginseng is a kind of perennial herb that requires a high ecological environment, and it takes a long growth cycle before it can grow into medicine. After putting mountain people into the mountain, ginseng can not be picked every day. Even if found, it is far from enough to pay the number of official ginseng, coupled with the ginseng picked in spring and summer, the pulp is too sufficient, high starch content, it is difficult to meet the processing standards. Therefore, when the planer finds the ginseng seedlings, most of them will be dug up together with the soil and planted around the shack. It was only after White Dew in the autumn that he got up to pay the official ginseng.

Although the mountain ginseng dug up did not leave the primeval forest, it is extremely difficult to cultivate. It is necessary to prevent sunlight exposure when the weather is fine, cover it up on rainy days and avoid blisters. After a year of hard work, Wang Lizhi has planted nearly 100 ginseng seedlings. One day, Wang Lizhi led everyone to go into the forest and release the mountains. Suddenly, the originally clear sky, after a burst of lightning and thunder, there was a sudden torrential rain. Looking at the invaded ginseng, everyone was anxious. A few days later, the sky cleared up after the rain, and hundreds of ginseng seedlings had been soaked by the heavy rain. After some rescue, only two good ginseng trees were produced, and even the payment of official ginseng was not enough. However, this failure allowed Wang Lizhi to accumulate experience in cultivating ginseng.

After the ban on ginseng planting was lifted during Guang Xu's years, a large area of ginseng was planted in Fusong area. after nearly a hundred years of development, the number of artificially cultivated ginseng gradually exceeded that of wild ginseng, and artificial ginseng cultivation continues to this day.
