We catalogued, traditional knowledge about the species, geographical distribution, medicinal parts, processing methods and efficacy of Paeonia sect. Moutan plants in traditional Chinese medicine and ethnic medicine. The results were as follows: Two species of Paeonia sect. Moutan plants(Paeonia suffruticosa and Paeonia delavayi)were recorded in traditional Chinese classic ancient manuscripts discuss 14 processing methods and 18 kinds of medicinal functions. At present, four species of Paeonia sect. Moutan plants were used for medicine in nine ethnic medicine, which were P. suffruticosa, P. delavayi, P. rockii and P. decomposita; P. suffruticosa was used more frequently than that of other species in traditional Chinese classic ancient manuscripts and ethnic medicine; The root, Moutan Cortex, and flower of were recorded as medicine in traditional Chinese classic ancient manuscripts, which is consistent with the record of ethnic medicines, and root and Moutan Cortex were the most frequently used for medical parts. The Paeonia sect. Moutan's medicinal functions include health and skin care effects, such as treating diabetes mellitus, hypertension, pneumonia, acute high fever, aconite poisoning, acute appendicitis, apoplexy, epilepsy and anthrax, as well as tranquilizing the mind and moisturizing skin.

It is widely applied in traditional culture, medicine and food in that area. With the development of modern society, P. utilis and its related traditional knowledge face the danger of disappearing. The purpose of this study was to explore the protection and inheritance of resources and related traditional knowledge of P. utilis in native area. Based on ethnobotanical field investigation, the substance basis of the main traditional functions of P. utilis and skin-caring activities were preliminarily studied by using the methods of chemical and pharmacological activity testing of natural drugs. The results were as follows:(1) P. utilis was widely used for fencing protection, wind prevention, soil fixation, the treatment of skin injury, food and other traditional usages in ethnic communities of Northwest Yunnan.(2)Ten individual compounds with skin-caring activities were detected from the extracts of different parts of P. utilis, such as gallic acid, quercetin.(3)The total flavonoid content of the extracts from the leaves of P. utilis was higher than that of the fermentation products and the extracts from the fruit of P. utilis.(4)The fruit oil of P. utilis with the highest frequency of traditional utilization showed great DPPH radical scavenging activity, and the antioxidant activity was different among different producing areas and processes. The results of this study preliminarily confirm the correlation between the substence basis and the related activities of the traditional skin-caring efficacy of P. utilis, and provide a reference for the further research and development of the protection and traditional inheritance of resources and related traditional knowledge of P. utilis.]]> 2023/11/12 10:40:03 1, ZHAO Ying^2,3, YANG Lixin^2,3*]]> ZHAO Yanqiang¹, ZHAO Ying^2,3, YANG Lixin^2,3* 3true f value, CII_s value, ICF value). The results are as follows:(1)The Baiyi people use 11 species of dye plants in Heqing, belonging to 10 families and 11 genera.(2)People of different regions, ages and genders have different cognitions of traditional knowledge of plant dyeing.(3)The use frequency and cultural importance index of Viburnum cylindricum and Buddleja officinalis are higher, and the cognition of Baiyi people is highly consistent on dye plants of blue.(4)Baiyi people often use dye plants to dye their own traditional cloth(folk cloth made from Gerbera delavayi). This research reveals that Baiyi people have a relatively complete knowledge system of traditional plant dyeing in Heqing, but it has gradually lost with the development of the times. This study provides scientific clues for the exploitation of dye plant resources and the research of traditional plant dyeing technology, promotes the industrial application of dye plants of minority, and has a great significance and application value for the economic development in minority areas.]]> 2023/11/12 10:40:03 1, YANG Hongwei², CHEN Xing³, ZHAO Yanqiang⁴, YANG Lixin^1*]]> YANG Rong¹, YANG Hongwei², CHEN Xing³, ZHAO Yanqiang⁴, YANG Lixin^1* 2true Pistacia chinensis, Platycladus orientalis and Camellia reticulata were dominant species, accounting for more than 75% of the total number of ancient tree individuals.(2)Although Lucheng Town and Donggua Town were with the highest urbanization rate, while Ziwu Town was with the lowest urbanization rate, they all exhibited a high level of ancient tree diversity, with most of such ancient trees aggregatedly distributed around temples, parks and schools.(3)The species composition and distribution of ancient trees in Lucheng Town and Donggua Town with the highest urbanization rate reflected the foreign culture influence, while Ziwu Town with the lowest rate had more native species from the “God forests” of Yi nationality.(4)Towns with a high proportion of Yi nationality had neither higher diversity of ancient trees nor more “God forests” species. To sum up, in the process of urbanization development, ethnic minority cultures are faced with the dilemma of gradual loss, which further affects the composition and spatial distribution characteristics of regional ancient trees. Enhancing the safeguarding of ancient trees and fostering the preservation of national cultures are mutually reinforcing endeavors.]]> 2024/4/2 10:13:27 1,2, DENG Zhongjian¹, LIU Zhuozhi³, GU Xu^1*]]> ZHENG Mengfei^1,2, DENG Zhongjian¹, LIU Zhuozhi³, GU Xu^1* 1true
