This sentence can only be experienced by people who have been to Xinjiang, because the area of ​​Xinjiang’s taxis accounts for six in the country. One of the points is really big. For example, Nanqiang and the city are 1,500 kilometers away from Urumqi, the provincial capital. If you drive early, you can't get through the dark one day. It takes only 2 hours to fly. In this vast land, sandstorms are commonplace. In the Hetian area of ​​Xinjiang, the dusty weather is more than 220 days per year. The “hetian people suffer, one day and a half pounds of soil, not enough during the day, but also to make up at night” is a vivid portrayal of the local natural environment. Cistanche is a famous Chinese medicinal material. It has anti-aging, anti-fatigue, anti-Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, regulates immune function, laxative, and protects the liver. It is known as ‘desert ginseng’. Cistanche deserticola includes C. sylvestris and Cistanche tubulosa, and the host of C. sylvestris is the sandy plant Haloxylon ammodendron, which is parasitic on the root of the Haloxylon ammodendron. The host of the Cistanche tubulosa is the red willow, which is parasitic on the sand plant, the willow (commonly known as "red willow" The roots of the Cistanche tubulosa are distributed only around the Taklimakan Desert in southern Xinjiang, and the Hetian area is its real estate. The resources of Cistanche tubulosa are much richer than that of the desert Cistanche deserticola, and its host red willow grows vigorously and is easier to grow than the host of Hawthorn. At the same time, the active ingredient content of Cistanche tubulosa is significantly higher than that of C. sylvestris. The development of C. tubulosa is the most effective way to solve the problem of Cistanche tubulensis resources. More importantly, the cultivation of Cistanche deserticola and the cultivation of red willows promote each other, to control the desert, to improve the soil, to develop the desert into an arable land, and to become an important way for farmers and herders in Hotan to get rid of poverty. For example, since Yutian County in Xinjiang has planted amnesty, the annual dusty days have been reduced by more than 30 days. To plant Cistanche tubulosa, you must first plant the host red willow. The red willow is very drought-tolerant, requires little water, is very rough, and does not require too much labor. It is very suitable for areas like the Hetian area that lack water and lack labor. In the past decade, more than 300,000 mu of red willow green barriers appearing on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert in Hotan are a strong proof.
