Langxia Buddha’s Hand Wine

　　Friend, have you ever been to Langxia? Have you tried the Buddha’s Hand wine from Langxia?

　　　　Buddha’s Hand, also known as Five-finger Citron, is an evergreen shrub or small tree belonging to the Rutaceae family. It remains green and golden throughout the seasons, with a uniquely shaped fruit resembling a human hand. Its fragrance is intoxicating, and it has long been hailed as “the celestial delicacy among fruits and the marvel of plants in the world.” Named for its distinctive fruit shape that resembles a hand, it is a rare and precious variety unique to China.

　　The name Buddha’s Hand is a homophone for “blessing and longevity,” and the very character “佛” (Buddha) evokes a sense of auspiciousness. Integrated into folk culture, it is often depicted as a symbol of good fortune. The Langxia Buddha’s Hand Base was established in 2002 by Mr. Lü Zhangfang, a severely disabled resident of Xixu Village.

　　　　In today's era that promotes environmental sustainability and advocates for pure, natural, pollution-free green food, Mr. Lü Zhangfang—despite his physical limitations—remains spiritually strong. Leading his business team, he developed “Shiqiyuan” Buddha’s Hand Wine. Based on the principles of food and medicine sharing the same origin and the theory of herbal compatibility, the wine is crafted using a blend of various precious traditional Chinese herbs, advanced equipment, and refined production techniques. With Buddha’s Hand as its main ingredient, the wine contains multiple essential trace elements required by the human body. It retains the delicate and elegant fragrance of the fruit while also embodying the unique richness of well-aged liquor. According to Compendium of Materia Medica (Bencao Gangmu), Buddha’s Hand Wine has medicinal benefits such as regulating qi, resolving phlegm, relieving nausea and bloating, soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen, boosting immunity, and promoting longevity. It significantly alleviates symptoms of bronchitis and asthma in the elderly, and is particularly effective for indigestion and chest tightness in the general population. The most outstanding characteristics of this wine are its captivating aroma, sweet and pure taste, mildly bitter yet not astringent flavor, and endless depth. After drinking, it refreshes the mind and lifts the spirit without causing headaches or dry mouth. It is currently a rare green delicacy in the world.

　　　　As a rare and exotic fruit, Buddha’s Hand is highly valued and has been cherished through the ages, deeply rooted in folk culture. It comes in a myriad of shapes and forms, loved by all who see it. Its richly fragrant scent lasts for months without fading; simply placing it in a room fills the air with its aroma. It serves as both a health tonic and a culinary delight, offering wellness benefits through its dual use as food and medicine. A symbol of good fortune due to its homophone meaning “blessing and longevity”...
