In fact, there are also some wild chrysanthemums on the mountains in the countryside, or wild flowers like chrysanthemums. However, what I am talking about today is not , but a small yellow flower common on the roadside, which is the famous Qianli Guang.
has a saying among the people that "you can know the light of thousands of miles, and you will never get sores in your life." So do you know the light of thousands of miles? Let’s learn about together!
Legend about Qianli Guang
There are corresponding legends about many Chinese herbal medicines in my country, some of which have different versions of legends. For example, the Qianli Guang I want to talk about today also has many versions of legend among the people. Here I will share with you what I know.
When I was a child, I heard the old man in the village talk about the legend of Qianliguang. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a hunter family living in the deep mountains. He gave birth to two cute daughters. However, when he was born, his eyes were not very good. Not only did he often cry, but he could not see things in the distance clearly. This made the hunter very heartbroken. In order to cure his daughter's eye disease, he also sought medical treatment everywhere, but the results were not very ideal.
One year, a century-old old man who collected herbs passed by the hunter's house and asked him for a bowl of thirst-quenching water. When the old man collected herbs saw the hunter worried, he asked the reason. Then he gave the hunter a prescription, asking him to use the small yellow flowers not far from his doorstep to wipe his eyes, and told him to use the heat from the boiling water to smoke the child's eyes every day, and it would be cured after persisting for a period of time.
From then on, the hunter and his wife boiled water to smoke their eyes every day according to the old man's herbs. Unexpectedly, after a while, the eye disease of the two daughters was really cured. Not only did they stop crying, but they could also see things from far away.
It is said that the two of them can see things thousands of miles away with their eyes, so this common small yellow flower plant on the roadside has the domineering name "Thousand Miles Light". I also heard this legend. After seeing Qianliguang, I would always pick some and take them back.
What is "Qianli Guang"?
Speaking of Qianliguang, some elderly people in rural areas should know its name, because this name is very easy to remember, and many people will say "It is said that if you use it, you can see things thousands of miles away." Of course, this is an exaggeration. Moreover, Qianliguang is not a rare plant. It is a very common plant in rural areas, and can be seen even in open spaces in front of houses and on the roadside.
If you have never heard of Qianli Guang, it is nothing strange, because it is commonly known among the people, such as such as Jiuliming , Jiuling Light, Yisai Guang, Qianli and so on. It is a perennial herb of the genus 3 Platycodon , Asteraceae , Qianli Guang.
This plant is very common in rural areas and has a relatively high recognition rate. Thousand miles of light often grows in forests and bushes at an altitude of 50-3200 meters, and generally likes to climb on shrubs, rocks or streams. Because its plants are relatively tall, they are generally more than 1 meter tall, but their stems are very slender.
is also called wild chrysanthemum in some places, which makes sense. because it is originally Asteraceae plant , and the flowers it blooms very much like chrysanthemums. This plant usually blooms in late summer and early autumn. The flowers are not big but very lush. They look like small chrysanthemums. The flowers are yellow and look very eye-catching. They smell a faint fragrance when picked.
Qianli Light is very widely distributed in my country, almost all over the country, and is very common in Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Henan, Fujian and Guangdong. The plant has relatively strong vitality and has many ways of reproduction. It can reproduce through seeds, or through cuttings and striping.
The value of Thousand Miles Light is reference
I remember a few years ago, every year when Thousand Miles Light blooms, many elderly people in the village would go to the mountains to pick Thousand Miles Light. After drying it, it can be sold to the market to the medicinal material buyers.
When talking about the value of thousands of miles of light, we have to mention a widely circulated proverb, " knows thousands of miles of light, and never gets sores in a lifetime." In some places, it is even more said, "Someone knows thousands of miles of light, but the whole family will not get sores in a lifetime." In the past, if anyone has scabies in the countryside, they usually go to the mountains to look for thousands of miles of light, because it does have good results in this regard.
The main reason for this is that Qianliguang has a good effect of detoxifying and detoxifying. Qianliguang, a plant, can be used as medicine for all herbs. mainly has the uses of clearing heat and detoxifying, killing insects and relieving itching, improving eyesight and eliminating cataracts.
Like in the past, if you suffer from eye disease, you will often use it. According to folks, it is often used to scrub the eyes, or drink the water soaked in its flowers, which can help you to improve your eyes and even see the light thousands of miles away.
Of course, this is an exaggeration, but it does have a good eye-catching effect. can be taken orally or externally. For external use, decoct and wash; or mash the fresh grass into juice and apply it to the affected area.

Qianliguang Although this plant is common in rural areas, it is often eradicated by some people who don’t know each other as weeds. In fact, it has a high value. Not only can it be used as medicine, but it has strong vitality and is easy to resurrect. It is also good to transplant it into the courtyard and the flower pond.

Drinking tea made by Qianliguang can indeed relieve vision fatigue.
And Qianliguang's planting is also simple. It can be reproduced through seeds, or it can be planted directly with cuttings. It is to choose the intercepted strong branches, put one section in the soil, and the other section is exposed outside. For example, it is suitable for cuttings from July to October. It is recommended to plant them in an environment with a relatively fertile soil, so that the survival rate is higher.
After cuttings, just keep the soil moist and you will survive for a while. Because it is a perennial plant, the more it can be planted in winter, it is more worry-free.
