Honeysuckle is one of the 38 valuable traditional Chinese medicines under national key management. It has a wide range of uses in medicine, health care, economic ecology and other aspects. With the successive development of all kinds of honeysuckle products, the market demand has doubled, but the price of honeysuckle has been rising all the time. From 1992 to now, the price is more than 40 yuan / kg. @ # @ 125 flowers is still in short supply. What is the magic of honeysuckle that it is so favored by many merchants? The medical and health value of honeysuckle honeysuckle has been famous for its medicinal use since ancient times. "Shennong Materia Medica Classic" contains "Honeysuckle with cold taste sweet, with the effect of clearing heat and detoxification, cooling blood and removing blood stasis, mainly treating exogenous wind and heat, plague at the beginning, sores virus, redness, swelling, heat and pain, purulent blood in stool" and so on. The Compendium of Materia Medica discusses in detail that honeysuckle has the health effect of "taking a long time to lighten the body and prolonging life". After the 1980s, the Ministry of Health successively analyzed the chemical composition and trace elements of intensification, and found that intensification contains a variety of trace elements and chemical components necessary for the human body, as well as a variety of enzyme acids beneficial to the human body, which has the advantages of anti-aging and anti-cancer. Good effect of light and healthy body. In recent years, on the basis of traditional medicine, dozens of medical and health products have been developed, such as "Yinhuang oral liquid", "Chinese toothpaste", "honeysuckle flower toothpaste", "Shuanghuanglian powder injection", "Jiannao Bushen pill", "Xiaoer antipyretic oral liquid", "compound Daqing leaf mixture", "honeysuckle tea", "honeysuckle flower dew", "silver wheat dry beer" and so on. The economic and social benefits of honeysuckle the wide use of honeysuckle has brought huge economic benefits. The Ministry of Commerce of China and Singapore jointly established Health Beverage Co., Ltd., jointly excavating the secret recipe of clearing the court, and making use of modern science and technology, research and development of honeysuckle tea with an annual output of more than 500,000 kilograms, due to limited supply and tight sales of products, are mainly exported to Singapore, the United States, Hong Kong and other countries and regions. Domestic Deacon, Sanjiu, Diao, Harbin and other pharmaceutical manufacturers have a lot of demand, especially the outbreak of SARS in 2003, honeysuckle is the first choice of traditional Chinese medicine, its price has climbed all the way to 200 yuan per jin. Due to the large demand for honeysuckle and its production is far from being able to meet the demand, many pharmaceutical factories, health care products factories and non-local customers scramble to buy it every year. For its major economic and social benefits, "Farmer Daily", "Volkswagen Daily", "Science and Technology Information News" and other newspapers and periodicals continuously discussed. CCTV programs such as "Golden Land", "Field" and "window of Science and Technology" have also made special reports. Honeysuckle, which has such great benefits, its cultivation and management are much simpler than other traditional Chinese medicine, and its adaptability to soil and climate is also very strong. Woody honeysuckle is selected after years of cultivation and breeding in the hybrid of perennial rattan winding honeysuckle and chicken claw flower. Woody honeysuckle is easy to plant, easy to grow, easy to live and easy to manage, can be harvested in the same year, and can be planted at once for decades. Woody honeysuckle has strong adaptability to climate, soil and environment, and can be planted all over the country. It does not compete with other crops for land, water and fertilizer, and is resistant to flood and drought. Heat-resistant and cold-resistant, planting in saline-alkali Weir, riverside embankment, front and back houses and fruit forests can grow exuberantly and flourish, especially in hillsides, roadsides or fruit trees, which can not only obtain huge additional economic income, but also prevent wind and fix sand, conserve soil and water, and green the environment. Cultivation, management, picking and storage cultivation of woody honeysuckle: the cultivation of woody honeysuckle is the best, with high survival rate, early pier formation and quick benefit. Because of its strong vitality, in-situ seedling transfer cultivation can be carried out at any time in the four seasons of the year. Transplanting seedlings in different places for a long time is easy to heat up the seedlings or damage the root branches. The seedlings can be moved over a long distance from February to May and August to November of the lunar calendar, and some appropriate measures (such as sprinkling water midway) should be taken. The survival rate is generally more than 90%. During cultivation, according to the plant spacing of 1 meter, row spacing of 1 meter, dig a round pit with a diameter of 30 cm and a depth of 25 cm, spread 8 honeysuckle trees along the wall of the pit. Watering and burying soil can be done (700 piers per mu and 5500 seedlings per mu). Management: pruning is an important part of the management of woody honeysuckle. In winter or early spring, cut off the old branches and non-flowering or less flowering and overdense and protruding long branches in order to concentrate nutrients for the growth of flowering branches. The pruning process follows the principle of "pruning due to branches, modeling with piers, balancing pier potential, ventilation and light transmission". Fertilization: fertilizer can be applied twice a year, the first application of spring sprouting fertilizer, timely watering after fertilization; the second application of ring fertilizer in autumn, in order to absorb and store nutrients in time, and warm roots over the winter, laying a good foundation for growth in the coming year. If possible, fertilizers with high nitrogen and phosphorus contents can also be applied once after the first stubble flowering, that is, in late May, and at the end of June after the second stubble flowering. It is best to carry out mid-tillage before fertilization can not only weed, preserve soil moisture, prevent diseases and insect pests, but also promote better absorption of nutrients. Picking and storage: Lesser Fullness of Grain began to pick a few days ago, as the saying goes: "April eighth, pick honeysuckle". The top of the bud is white and full, and the root is green and white, which will be picked best when it is not open, and the honeysuckle picked at this time has good color and high medicinal value. Sprinkle the collected flowers evenly on the Reed mat and dry the straw baskets or clean ground until they are 80% dry, so as to avoid turning them black in advance. The honeysuckle dried once after a period of time can be packed in plastic bags and stored for sale.
