Cangxi Bletilla

　　Cangxi Bletilla is a distinctive traditional Chinese medicinal herb from Cangxi County. The county’s unique geographical environment and lush vegetation create ideal conditions for the growth of Cangxi Bletilla, resulting in high-quality produce. Fresh Cangxi Bletilla is tough and not easily broken, with a translucent, horn-like cross-section. Its rhizomes are thick, bright white, large, and firm, offering exceptional medicinal value. Cangxi Bletilla is one of the key traditional Chinese medicinal herbs prioritized for development in Sichuan Province, as well as a focus of support and funding by the Cangxi County Government. In recent years, leveraging major opportunities such as poverty alleviation and returning home to start businesses, Cangxi has fully utilized its local resource advantages. By adhering to scientific planning for medicinal herb cultivation—clearly defining optimal growing regions, planting models, and scales—the county has actively established base towns and villages. While maintaining traditional herbal farming practices, it has taken targeted and precise measures. Projects such as the Cangxi Bletilla Premium Medicinal Herb Plantation and the Cangxi Bletilla Medicinal Herb Seedling Base have been developed. Currently, Cangxi County has nearly 10,000 acres under Cangxi Bletilla cultivation, benefiting nearly 1,000 households and generating significant economic benefits.
