The existing six local chronicles of Ningxia and Guyuan in the Ming Dynasty all contain records of Lycium barbarum, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Bupleurum chinense and Cimicifuga. Ma Jianmin, a researcher at North University for Nationalities, wrote in his paper "A Brief Discussion on the Medical System in Ningxia in the Ming Dynasty": "According to the investigation of scholars, there are 157 kinds of commonly used Chinese medicines in Ningxia, among which Lycium barbarum, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Bupleurum chinense and Cimicifuga are the most important.
It can be seen that from a professional point of view, Cimicifuga, like Lycium barbarum, Glycyrrhiza uralensis and Bupleurum chinense, has a high status in Ningxia. In this regard, Li Ming, director of the Chinese Herbal Medicine Research Office of the Institute of Desertification Control of Ningxia Academy of Agriculture and Forestry, said that although there is no special cultivation of Cimicifuga in Ningxia, there are wild Cimicifuga in Liupanshan. "In the past, the output was high, and people often went up the mountain to harvest and process. Now it is scarce and few people pick it." Li Ming said that Cimicifuga is usually mined in autumn.

There is a passage in Youyang Za in the Tang Dynasty that says, "Flowers are flourishing, birds eat more by mistake, and their beaks are poisonous. They will fly to Mihm Mountain to peck. " Li Ming said that even if birds are poisoned by mistake, they should rush to Mim Mountain to "peck Mim (Cimicifuga)" for detoxification, which is why Cimicifuga has such a high reputation.
"From the perspective of pharmaceutical methods, Cimicifuga has a long history and various processing methods." Li Ming said that there were 1 1 kinds of processing methods for Cimicifuga in the past dynasties, such as washing, cutting, making wine, making salt, making vinegar, Polygonatum sibiricum juice, ginger juice, frying, steaming and baking. "In modern times, it is mainly fried and honey, but the clinical drugs are mainly raw tablets and honey tablets." (Reporter Wang Min)
