There are many sources of Fritillaria, but because of its good curative effect, it can't be planted artificially, so the price has been very high. As a result, some mercenary criminals sell other Fritillariae Cirrhosae with similar appearance as Fritillaria Cirrhosae, which leads to a lot of confusion and counterfeiting in the market, mainly small-sized Fritillaria Cirrhosae and Fritillaria Cirrhosae, whose appearance and morphology are similar to those of loose shells in Fritillaria Cirrhosae. If consumers don't know Fritillaria Cirrhosae, they are easily deceived. Therefore, for the benefit of consumers, it is very important to correctly distinguish the authenticity of Fritillaria cirrhosa. "Travel to the North of Sichuan from Shuyuan" is made in good faith!

First, the price discrimination law. The prices in Pingbei and northern Zhejiang are extremely cheap. The wholesale price is only 100 yuan per kilogram, while Fritillaria cirrhosa is more than 1000 yuan per kilogram, and the loose shell of Fritillaria cirrhosa is generally around 2000 yuan per kilogram, so the market price will fluctuate. If you see Fritillaria cirrhosa below 1000, don't consider it. It must be a fake. In addition, the price of pharmacies is slightly more expensive, generally around 5- 10 yuan. The price discrimination method is only the premise, and consumers have to master the following appearance discrimination method in order to be truly eye-catching.

Second, the appearance discrimination method. Whether buying Fritillaria cirrhosa online or buying Fritillaria cirrhosa in a drugstore, many of them pretend to be small particles of Fritillaria cirrhosa. Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae and Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae are similar to the pine shell in Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae, and have the characteristics of holding the moon in the pine shell. But if you look at the pictures carefully, it's still easy to tell the truth. Because most consumers don't know Chuanbei and don't know what they bought. Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae is gray (but white Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae is mostly smoked with sulfur), while Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae and Bulbus Fritillariae Thunbergii are yellow, so merchants will smoke Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae with sulfur, which will make Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae very white, and Bulbus Fritillariae Thunbergii and Bulbus Fritillariae Thunbergii look attractive, but this will leave a high concentration of sulfur dioxide, which is very harmful to consumers' health.

Third, Fritillaria cirrhosa is rich in powder and can be crushed with your fingers. The fake "Chuanbei" is hard and needs tools to crush.

Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae is mainly produced in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and can be divided into loose shell, green shell and furnace shell according to different characters and producing areas. Only the loose shell has the shape of "holding the moon in your arms" Small flat shellfish (mainly produced in the northeast) and Zhejiang shellfish (mainly produced in Zhejiang Province) are similar to pine shellfish in northern Sichuan. Many merchants take advantage of this and pretend to be Chuanbei with Pingbei and Zhebei. The picture below shows the difference between Songbei and fake goods.
