The green mountains cross the north Guo, and the white water surrounds the east city. The poet immortal Li Bai said goodbye to his friends in Neijiang and wrote such a famous sentence. Today, in Qingtai Village, Guobei Town, Dongxing District, Neijiang City, the countryside is being revitalized in a poetic and picturesque way.
Tiandong and Mai Dong are a pair of sisters......"The locals will tell the guests beautiful folk tales and introduce Neijiang's specialty Tiandong Chinese medicinal herbs. The reason why there is such a legend among the folk may be because Tiandong and Mai Dong have the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing the lungs, and the medicinal properties belong to yin.

Tiandong was first published in "Shennong's Materia Medica". "Drug Production Defense" records that Tiandong "takes Sichuan as the top". Dongxing District of Neijiang City has the reputation of "the hometown of Chinese winter", which is very suitable for the growth of winter, and the medicinal effect is also very good. In recent years, Dongxing District has developed the Tiandong industry on a large scale, and Guobei Town is one of the important bases. Since asparagus has the property of homology of medicine and food, in addition to being used as a medicinal material, people can also consume it in a variety of ways. Interested people have researched the "Tiandong Banquet", or soup or vegetables or dim sum, and various Tiandong delicacies have become a bright color of cultural tourism and catering. For example, a dish of mashed potatoes with Tiandong is mixed into a Tai Chi diagram through different colors, inheriting the culture of traditional Chinese medicine in the food.
Create a first-class Tiandong town in China and be a demonstration area for core industries. This slogan on the hillside of Tiandong Base in Guobei Town is not only the slogan of the project, but also the wish of the local cadres and masses. Speaking of these, Kang Houlin, secretary of the Dongxing District Party Committee, has a lot of topics. He not only personally planned and supervised the development of the asparagus industry, but also personally publicized the efficacy of asparagus medicinal materials, so he was called "secretary of asparagus" by the masses.

Under the organization of the Dongxing District Party Committee and the District **, 8,000 acres of wasteland have been renovated here, and 6,000 acres have been taken out to develop the Tiandong industry. "Wear a hat on the top of the mountain, earn tickets in the middle, and fill your stomach at the bottom of the slope" is a clear development strategy - the trees and vegetation on the top of the mountain do not move, the slope is planted with winter to make money, and the rice is planted at the bottom of the slope to ensure food security. Even on the slopes where asparagus is planted, the method of intercropping asparagus and other crops has been adopted, and the proportion of staple food far exceeds the 30% stipulated by the state. Such an intercropping model not only ensures food security, but also attaches importance to economic benefits.
Because the planting period of Tiandong takes 3 years, a large area of Tiandong in Guobei Town has not yet been harvested and realized for profit. However, the local people have seen the development prospects of this industry, and have returned to their hometowns to develop Tiandong, and thousands of migrant workers have returned to their hometowns to start businesses. Zhou Bing, secretary of the Party Committee of Guobei Town, introduced that the masses return to their hometowns for development, not only have economic benefits, but also do not have to leave their hometowns, and there are no worries - even if they do not earn money in winter, the villagers have also obtained the right to use the land they have divided, as well as the benefits of public construction such as industrial roads and irrigation systems, and it is appropriate to plant other things.
Such an intimate deployment has boosted the confidence of the masses, and everyone is determined to grow high-quality authentic medicinal materials on this piece of Tiandong Taoist land, and revitalize the countryside through the development of the Chinese herbal medicine industry.

At the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Neijiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, a woman is busy next to a huge Tiandong tree. She is a staff member here, taking samples of the asparagus to determine the age of the "king of winter". It turns out that it is a scientific research institution specializing in the growth of Tiandong and plays an important role in the development of Neijiang Tiandong industry.
In the exhibition room of Amakusa Runto, a variety of asparagus products are displayed, including snacks, preserves, and beverages. According to a person in charge, the company has followed the development strategy of the local Tiandong industry, carried out diversified product exploration, and strived to form a product system based on Tiandong. He introduced that it is also responsible for cultivating asparagus seedlings, which plays a key role in the development of the industry.
