Xingqu is a perennial herb, which is mostly produced in Xinjiang, India, Iran and other places. The root of this plant is as thick as the root of a fine vine, white in color and smelly as garlic, and can be used for food. If the rhizome is cut off, it will ooze milk-like liquid at the fracture, which can be used as medicine after solidification. This plant, together with onion, garlic and leek, is called Wuxin.

Five spices refer to five pungent vegetables, which originated from Buddhism and were fasted by Buddhist disciples together with wine and meat.

Xingqu can be made into Ferula ferulae. The collection method of Ferula Ferulae is very simple. From late spring to early summer, from the flowering stage to the early fruit stage, it is cut obliquely from the upper part of the stem in several times, and the leaked emulsion resin is collected and dried in the shade.

Ferula ferula has a strong and lasting garlic-like odor, which is spicy and burning when chewed.

Ferula can also be used for fishing. There are two ways to fish with Ferula ferula. One is to soak in medicinal liquor, and add medicinal liquor when opening the bait. The second is to grind into powder, and when the bait is opened, it is directly added to the bait powder.

When fishing with Ferula Ferula, you can use glutinous rice flour, dry the steamed glutinous rice, then grind it into glutinous rice flour, and add Ferula Ferula live bait. It is not easy to hook it for half an hour.

It is not recommended to use Ferula to make a nest, because the purpose of making a nest is only to attract fish. If the smell of the nest is stronger than the smell of bait, then the fish will not bite.
