The Qing Dynasty originated in Changbai Mountain, why was ginseng sold so expensive during the Qing

The reason why ginseng was very expensive in the Qing Dynasty was mainly because the Qing Dynasty royal family banned Changbai Mountain for a long time. The quality of the ginseng produced in Changbai Mountain at that time was very good, because the Qing Dynasty ordered Changbai Mountain not to open to the outside world, so it also greatly increased the number of people's lives, because people had no other way to obtain life at that time, so naturally ** will continue to increase with the decrease in supply and demand. At that time, the Qing Dynasty banned Changbai Mountain, mainly due to three reasons.

The first reason is because of Feng Shui. At that time, when Nurhachi established the Later Jin regime, in fact, the entire Manchu people regarded Changbai Mountain as the birthplace of Manchu culture. With the gradual expansion of Nurhachi's power in the northeast, it was only later that he led the army into the Central Plains, so after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty people regarded Changbai Mountain as a place to revitalize the Manchus.

Combined with some Feng Shui theories, the shape of the mountains of Changbai Mountain was similar to that of dragons at that time, so some people regarded the mountains of Changbai Mountain as dragon veins. <>

The second reason is the unique location. At that time, the Qing Dynasty not only banned Changbai Mountain, but also banned most of the Northeast region. The main reason for this is that the distance between Northeast China and Outer Mongolia and Korea was very close at that time, and the location of Northeast China was also very critical, and it had a very obvious strategic location.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty was afraid of the Han Chinese colluding with the Mongols and Koreans, so they wanted to turn the northeast into a large military base. Only by blocking most of the northeastern region can the Han people be cut off from the opportunity to communicate with the Mongols and Koreans. And at that time, the products of Changbai Mountain were very rich, and its animal and plant resources were also very numerous, the most famous is the ginseng of Changbai Mountain.

Changbai Mountain was forbidden to open to the public by the Qing Dynasty royal family at that time, mainly because the imperial family wanted to make the northeast its own treasury. <>

The third reason is because of political factors. At that time, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty wanted to build the Northeast into a place that could save life at any time. Once the armies of other countries invaded the capital, they could lead the royal family to withdraw to the northeast and continue to rule.

Because the Manchu Dynasty blocked Changbai Mountain after entering the customs, it was very difficult to harvest ginseng, so it was sold so expensive.

Because ginseng cultivation was very troublesome at that time, and the yield was also very low, the demand for this substance was very high, so the price was so expensive.

Because ginseng has a supreme position in people's hearts. The ginseng in the legend of the Sui and Tang dynasties** will make a sound like a human after it is formed. Although it may sound strange now, in ancient times, it could be regarded as a manifestation of ginseng's "spirit".
