Angelica Sinensis: Strengthening the Body and Attacking Pathogens with Remarkable Effects“The Best Comes from Dangzhou”
Angelica Sinensis has become a “star” in the family of Chinese medicinal herbs due to its valuable medicinal properties. Angelica Sinensis, also known as Dang Gui, is frequently used in clinical practice and is often referred to as “nine out of ten return to Angelica.” Modern pharmacological studies have proven that Angelica Sinensis has significant effects on the immune system and hematopoietic system, and it also shows good efficacy in anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor aspects.
Longnan Dangchang is one of the original production areas of Angelica Sinensis, as noted by the Tang dynasty scholar Su Jing in the “Newly Revised Materia Medica”: “Angelica Sinensis from Dangzhou is the best.” At that time, Dangzhou referred to present-day Dangchang County. This shows that Dangchang Angelica Sinensis has been renowned for over a thousand years.
“A Pillar Industry”
Angelica Sinensis has been cultivated for thousands of years and has always been closely tied to its native soil; transplanting it elsewhere greatly reduces its medicinal properties. Therefore, since ancient times, the value and reputation of Angelica Sinensis have only increased. As early as 505 AD, the king of Dangchang, Liang Mibo, presented Angelica Sinensis as a tribute to the king of the Southern Liang.
Dangchang County is the main production area for Angelica Sinensis in Longnan, radiating to some towns in Wudu District and Lixian County.With an average annual planting area of over 80,000 acres, a yield of 16,000 tons, and a production value of 1.13 billion yuan. Angelica Sinensis has always been a pillar industry of the rural economy in Dangchang.

Dangchang County is located in the southern part of Gansu Province, in the northwestern part of Longnan City, at the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the Minshan mountain range and the western Qinling mountains intersect. The county’s elevation ranges from 1138 to 4154 meters, with an average annual sunshine of about 2100 hours, an average annual temperature of 9.3°C, and an average annual precipitation of 584 mm, with an average frost-free period of 183 days, belonging to a temperate continental climate zone.

It currently administers 6 towns, 19 townships, and 336 administrative villages, with a total population of 308,000, of which 289,000 are agricultural residents. Dangchang has a diverse climate and rich resources. The county has 1.27 million acres of forest and 1.25 million acres of grassland,with over 690 varieties of medicinal herbs, earning it the reputation of “a thousand-year medicinal town.”
