Research On Garlic Planting And Utilization From The Ming And Qing Dynasties To The Republic Of China

In the Han Dynasty,after Zhang Qian’s envoy to the Western Regions,garlic was introduced into China.Since the Han Dynasty,garlic has become an important vegetable in people’s daily life,especially in the field of spicy seasoning,occupying a unique position.During the Ming and Qing dynasties,garlic became a very common daily vegetable for the public.During the Ming and Qing dynasties,the planting technology of garlic reached the peak of traditional society,and the technology of garlic in various aspects such as timing,variety classification,planting and cultivation,harvest and preservation has been very mature.Since modern times,various aspects of garlic planting technology have gradually formed a complete scientific and technological system,and the transformation from traditional planting technology to modern science and technology has shown characteristics of refinement,systematization,concretization,and scientization.Since modern times,the introduction of Western science and technology has led to earthshaking changes in traditional agriculture.Under the impact of Western agricultural science,the planting technology of garlic has become more refined,and the system of garlic cultivation has become more scientific.With the dramatic changes in the social environment,the scale of garlic cultivation continues to expand,while showing an extremely obvious commercialization trend.At the same time,with the introduction and expansion of Western medical knowledge,garlic has also undergone significant changes in its pharmacological analysis,chemical component analysis,and clinical use compared to traditional Chinese medicine,presenting a transition from traditional Chinese medicine to experimental and scientific methods of use.During the period from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China,there were obvious transitional changes in garlic planting techniques and utilization approaches.These changes in garlic are reflected in agriculture,life,medicine,culture,science,ideology,and other aspects.Especially in the transition from traditional empirical agronomy to modern experimental agronomy,the characteristics presented are more prominent,reflecting to some extent the trends and laws in the process of transformation from traditional farming society to modern society.The development trajectory of garlic planting technology,utilization,and culture from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China further reflects the overall laws of the development of ancient planting technology,utilization,and folk culture towards modern times,which is more conducive to the study of the development laws of ancient crops.Combating the development process of garlic cultivation technology from a single technology to the formation of a system,and then to modern scientific and technological industrialization,summarizing the evolution laws of ancient planting and cultivation technology,refining the evolution laws of garlic utilization methods in traditional Chinese society and the value and significance of garlic culture.
