1, ginseng

Commonly known as "wooden stick", it is a perennial herb of Araliaceae, and it is a well-known and precious medicinal material at home and abroad, and is called "the king of hundred herbs". Because the root of ginseng is hypertrophy, spindle-shaped and often bifurcated, the whole picture is quite similar to human head, hands, feet and limbs, hence the name.

2, mink

The fur of sable is called mink, which is only produced in northeast China and widely distributed in Urals Mountain, Siberia, Mongolia, Northeast China, Hokkaido and other places. Sable is a small and medium-sized animal with a slender body and short limbs. The head is long and narrow, the ears are short and round, and the sense of smell and hearing is sensitive.

3, velvet antler

Velvet antler is an ossified horn that grows on the forehead of a stag. This is an organized structure and skin derivative. Types of velvet antler: Due to different protozoa, it can be divided into two types: plum velvet antler (yellow velvet antler) and red velvet antler (green velvet antler). Plum velvet antler is better than red velvet antler. According to the number of forks, it can be divided into saddle, two bars, hanging angle, three forks, chopped flowers and lotus flowers. Agaricus bisporus has good quality and high price, but its yield is low.

4. Ursula

"Wula" means Manchu leather boots, which is a kind of "earth leather shoes" worn by northeast people in winter.
