According to legend, in the year of 1709, Kangxi traveled incognito, lived in a farmhouse, and occasionally ate this kind of ginseng, which was full of praise after eating. It was a treasure in food. Seeing that he was born in the soil and shaped like a ginseng, he was given a ginseng. Ginseng has a history of hundreds of years, but due to unreasonable development of human beings, deterioration of natural conditions and large-scale use of pesticides, the traditional ginseng has already faced extinction. The present Radix Ginseng was developed by Ge, a characteristic vegetable development base in Wu 'an Town, Yuncheng County, which lasted for many years. Using modern technology, a new variety was purified, asexually propagated and propagated from traditional ginseng. This variety has the characteristics of high yield, good taste, strong growth, pest resistance and strong adaptability. Ginseng, as a multi-purpose health-care vegetable, has high development value and is full of the connotation of thousand-year regional culture. I hope it can enter the people's table as soon as possible.
