　　The scientific name of Chinese gall (Rhus chinensis Mill.), also known as Baichongcang, Baiyaojian, or Bangzi, is a kind of nodular gall formed when female insects of the species Schlechtendalia chinensis or Kaburagia rhusicola (from the aphid family, Homoptera) pierce the tender leaves or petioles of the sumac plant (Rhus chinensis) or other related plants in the Anacardiaceae family, resulting in the formation of a gall. After being baked and dried, it is harvested. Additionally, Chinese gall is also a medicinal herb used to treat various diseases.
