In the Northern and Southern Dynasties Liu Song Lei's "Pao Shao Lun" records that Wujiapi has the function of "yang people make yin, and yin people make yang". Foreign countries have carried out systematic research on ginseng and its close relative plant, Acanthopanax, which proves that Acanthopanax and ginseng have similar pharmacological effects and clinical curative effects.

        The annual growth of Acanthopanax is large, the root system is developed, and the lateral roots can reach more than 1 meter, and it has strong soil-fixing and anti-corrosion capabilities. The above-ground plants grow rapidly, with lush branches and leaves, and strong stress resistance. They have strong growth potential in the terrace-ridge planting system, and play an important role in reducing runoff and soil erosion.
        The value of eleuthero in medicine and food has driven the economic value of its market. Acanthopanax seeds can be extracted for oil and made into soap for people to use. The fruit can be eaten and brewed, and a series of products such as Wujia wine have been continuously introduced to the market.
