What are the taboos and rules for the elderly to dig ginseng?

People who dig ginseng in the northeast should pay attention to several points. The first is to prepare the tools for digging ginseng in advance, and the most important thing is the red rope. The second is to prepare some protective tools on the mountain. Third, in the process of excavation, we should tie a red rope to life so that life will not run away. Fourth, in the process of digging, we must be careful not to destroy the roots of wild ginseng, because once it is destroyed, the appearance of wild animals will be bad, and the price of ginseng will naturally be greatly reduced. Therefore, these points are particularly needed and deserve everyone's attention.

Life, as a Chinese herbal medicine, has the precious functions of prolonging life, promoting blood circulation and invigorating qi. It is said that if the dying person can give him a mouthful of wild ginseng soup before he dies, he can live for a few more years. So this statement has also created the preciousness of wild ginseng. Later, science also showed that wild ginseng did have many effects. However, these wild ginseng are not available everywhere. In the northeast of China, they are the hometown of these wild ginseng. Therefore, there are many people who dig ginseng here. In the early years, they used to dig wild ginseng to supplement their families. However, with the excavation in recent years, wild ginseng has become very scarce.

These wild ginseng are called one of the three treasures in Northeast China. It has a very long history. China has existed since ancient times, and people at that time also knew the efficacy and function of this wild ginseng. Wild ginseng has not only high medicinal value, but also high economic value. During the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Taizu Nurhachi led his men to dig these wild ginseng here. Because of this, Nurhachi relied on wild ginseng and obtained a lot of silver from it. At that time, the trade volume was huge. If it continues, it will create a silver blank in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty. Under the change, Nurhachi's strength became extremely strong, which also laid a certain foundation for Nurhachi's army to enter the Central Plains later. This shows the preciousness of ginseng.

Up to now, these wild ginseng in Northeast China have become very rare, and people are not allowed to dig privately. As some precious medicinal materials, these wild ginseng should be protected by people. We should mine moderately, not blindly. At the same time, in the process of digging wild ginseng, we should also follow the teachings of our ancestors and not lose the traditional rules.
