It is often mistaken for Tianshan snow lotus. Many people venture to pick it but do not know it is worthless.

Some time ago, many people posted a "go-and-go trip" on the Internet, so many people chose to travel and take adventures, and some alpine areas became their destinations. Of course, there is nothing wrong with traveling, but after the improvement of living conditions, our quality is as low as dust. I do not know if you have heard of "Tianshan snow lotus" this kind of medicine, if not, then give everyone a popular science. Ordinary plants cannot grow between cliffs above 4,000 meters above sea level. Extreme cold of dozens of degrees below zero will make many plants freeze to death before they sprout, but snow lotus can be proud of the wind and snow in the absence of oxygen and extreme cold. It is said that the plum blossom is arrogant, but it is still a lot lower than the snow lotus.

Snow lotus grows at a high altitude and is generally distributed in the Tianshan Mountains in the northwest of China. Because it looks like the lotus, it has the reputation of "Tianshan snow lotus". It has a high status in people's hearts and is regarded as a holy thing, so you can imagine how high its status is. And Saussurea also has a unique value, the whole body is covered with treasure, has always been concerned about the health medicine, but because the output is relatively low, and has been infinitely promoted as a "magic medicine", Saussurea has been picked again and again, leading to endangered species.

Now there is an express rule against digging wild snow lotus, but some people still ignore the law and boldly pick it. What's more, with a "snow rabbit" to operate, "snow rabbit" is similar to "Tianshan snow lotus". It is similar in appearance and resistant to high cold. It grows above 4500 meters above sea level and can grow up to about 30 centimeters. Because they are plants growing in harsh environments, many people often mistake snow rabbits for Tianshan snow lotus and venture to climb mountains to pick them, but the value of snow rabbit is far less than that of snow lotus.

It is even said that the snow rabbit is worthless and the locals ignore it. But there are also many immoral people who deceive consumers by impersonating snow rabbits as Tianshan snow lotus and then sell them to tourists at high prices. There are many people do not understand, mistakenly think that Tianshan snow lotus, for the high-value efficacy and over the mountains to pick it down. We should know that the ecosystem is a balanced system, and when any plant or animal in the system is gradually reduced artificially, it will endanger the whole earth like a butterfly effect. Snow lotus is suffering from extinction, because it looks similar to snow lotus, and the snow rabbit is also being affected. although worthless, it is also facing extinction.

The author believes that stories will always awaken conscience, if you love our common home, you should resist all this and refuse to pick state-protected plants. Do you understand? There are so many lives in the world, they are also participants!

So finally, the author says, if you go to the upper reaches of the mountains and see this kind of wild plants, do not pick them casually just because they are good-looking.
