It nourishes and cures Cordyceps sinensis, also known as Cordyceps sinensis, which is one of the famous products in the snowy plateau of Lijiang. Cordyceps sinensis (Tibetan: pressed stalk cloth) is a precious traditional Chinese medicine in China's medical treasure house, and it is often listed as three major supplements with ginseng and velvet antler. Its nourishing and therapeutic functions are above ginseng and velvet antler, and the price is very expensive. The reason why Cordyceps sinensis is called "Cordyceps sinensis" is that when the snow melts in the snowy plateau in midsummer, the eggs laid by bat moths on the leaves of meadow flowers and plants become worms after natural incubation, and grow up by absorbing the nutrition of plant roots. At this time, Cordyceps sinensis, which began to be active in midsummer, sneaked into the worms to parasitize and germinate hyphae, and slowly ate and died underground larvae from summer to winter, forming "Cordyceps sinensis". In the summer of the following year, Cordyceps sinensis took out its seed seat in the insect body, and formed a purple grass of 4-10 cm in the open field, with a pineapple-shaped capsule shell at its top, which was called "summer grass". After the ascospores in the capsule shell of summer grass matured, they were ejected from the capsule hole, floated with the wind, and then crawled into other insect bodies to reproduce, and circulated the next round of "Cordyceps sinensis".
