Daishan centipede

Qushan Town, Daishan County, Zhejiang Province is rich in centipedes with golden head and bare feet. Its pharmacological effects are far better than other kinds of centipedes, and tens of millions of wild centipedes are supplied to the market every year. Known as the "hometown of centipedes" by the medical community. Spring is the season for collecting wild centipedes in our city. Centipedes are commonly used and valuable Chinese medicinal materials. The annual production and sales volume of centipedes in China is nearly 100 million, which are mainly divided into two major strains: "Red-headed centipede with a hundred claws and many spines" produced in mainland China and "Golden-headed centipede with bare feet and few spines" produced in Zhoushan. It is mainly used to treat infantile convulsion, convulsion, hemiplegia, tetanus, rheumatism, sores, snake bites and other symptoms. According to modern research, its pharmacological effects have the functions of anti-cancer, anti-fungus, calming the wind, relieving spasm, dispersing pathogen accumulation, dredging collaterals and relieving pain, and it is favored by domestic and foreign merchants, and its products are in short supply. Qushan Town, located in the middle of Zhoushan Archipelago, is the T-shaped intersection of China's coastal north-south route and the Yangtze River "golden waterway". There is an international waterway crossing the island in the east, surrounded by mountains, and it is known as the "thoroughfare avenue at sea" in ancient times. It belongs to Daishan County, with a land area of 71.84 square kilometers (59 square kilometers of the island) between 122 degrees 16 minutes and 122 degrees 26 minutes east longitude. The whole island runs from southwest to northeast, the nearest point is only 11.8 kilometers from Dayang Mountain and Xiaoyang Mountain, and the northwest is 34 nautical miles from Luchao Port in Shanghai. The rich centipede with golden head is of the highest quality and enjoys a high reputation in the medical field, and the domestic and foreign markets are in short supply. The town has jurisdiction over 59 administrative villages, 2 neighborhood committees and 2 fishing teams with a total population of 60,764. The town's total industrial and agricultural output value is 920 million yuan, including 690 million yuan of fishery output value and 180 million yuan of industrial output value. It is a fishing-oriented town. Between 30 degrees 24 minutes and 30 degrees 28 minutes north latitude, it governs 79 islands and 89 reefs. It is 15 kilometers long from east to west and 5 kilometers wide from north to south, surrounded by many beaches and harbors. Centipede, as a valuable Chinese herbal medicine, will be gradually favored by people in the health care market for its development of products such as soaking in wine, taking poison in vivo and making capsules with other Chinese herbal medicines. The whole island is a basin structure, with the highest point of Guanyin Mountain and Sea being 314.4 meters, and the middle basin is wide and connected into pieces, of which the original area of Guitaiping is 14 square kilometers. The southwest is 47 nautical miles away from Zhenhai Port in Ningbo, and the development of centipede products, especially the development of golden-headed barefoot centipede with few spines, is still a virgin land. After the implementation of the island town in July 2001, the past fragmented situation was changed, and the whole town emancipated its mind and pioneered and innovated, which made the economy of various industries in Qushan Town show a good momentum of vigorous development.
