Inheritance of Yunling and rise of Anling:producing areas of Fuling in local chronicles of the Qing Dynasty
There are abundant local chronicles in the Qing Dynasty,which provide rich literature for the research on the production of medicinal materials.This paper collates the contents of Fuling in the local chronicles of the Qing Dynasty to reveal the distribution of Fuling in China at that time.The distribution of Fuling in the local chronicles of the Qing Dynasty involved 318 county-level regions in 23 provinces.The distribution records were mainly found in Yunnan,Anhui,Hunan,Zhejiang,Fujian,Jiangxi,Shaanxi,and Hubei.The local chronicles of the Qing Dynasty showed that Yunnan was the Dao-di producing area of Fuling,which was consistent with the materia medica of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.In the Qing Dynasty,the quality of Fuling in Dabie Mountains of Anhui was excellent,and it was called"Anling".The development of Anling benefited from the introduction of planting technology from Yunnan and the development of characteristic cultivation technology,with the formation of a complete industrial chain covering planting,processing,and sales.The abundant historical materials of Fuling in the local chronicles of the Qing Dynasty provide not only a documentary basis for revealing the changes of the Dao-di producing areas but also a historical context for the development of modern Fuling-producing areas such as Fujian,Jiangxi,and Hunan.In addition to the information of producing areas,the local records recorded the quality,commodity evaluation,and cultivation techniques of Fuling,filling the gaps in ancient materia medica books and providing detailed historical materials for understanding the producing areas and application of Fuling in the Qing Dynasty.
