The origin of Radix Codonopsis can be traced back to ancient times. According to legend, at the end of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, seven Weng from Shandong came here to collect ginseng. They took mountain products away, cultivated young ginseng and ginseng seeds in a pond on the spot, and planted elms and stones as a sign to look for this place in the future. Shizhu is 2.2 meters high and 0.59 meters wide, hence the name of the village, and Shizhu Ginseng was born, which has a history of more than 350 years. In the 18th year of Guangxu reign, Dianzhu was founded. #93; Monuments to public morality and politics record the feats of people's participation in the struggle against exorbitant taxes and levies.
