Ginkgo, also known as Ginkgo biloba, is the oldest relict plant among existing seed plants. Botanists often compare ginkgo to dinosaurs, and are known as the giant pandas of the plant world. Ginkgo belongs to the category of dried fruits. Among many dried fruits, Ginkgo ranks third in economic value. The value of ginkgo is mainly reflected in its edible and medicinal uses.
Eating ginkgo can improve health and prolong life. Ginkgo was listed as a royal tribute in the Song Dynasty. Japanese people have the habit of eating ginkgo every day. Ginkgo is a must-have for Westerners at Christmas. In terms of consumption methods, ginkgo mainly includes fried, baked, cooked, side dishes, pastries, preserves, canned foods, beverages and alcohol.
The medicinal uses of ginkgo are mainly reflected in three aspects: medicine, pesticides and veterinary drugs. Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty once said: "Enter the lung meridian, benefit the spleen, calm asthma and cough, and reduce defecation." Zhang Lulu's "Ben Jing Fengyuan" in the Qing Dynasty recorded that ginkgo has the functions of reducing phlegm, clearing toxins, and killing insects, and can treat "sores" Scabies, ulcerated breast ulcers, dental caries, diarrhea in children, red and white vaginal discharge, chronic stranguria, spermatorrhea and enuresis." In the Ming Dynasty, Chinese patent medicines prepared from ginkgo appeared in Jiangsu, Sichuan and other places for clinical use. Ginkgo testa contains a large amount of hydrogenated gingko acid and ginkgo flavonoids. The water-soluble components of the outer testa have good antitussive and expectorant effects, and their properties are similar to those of cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone. The inhibitory effectiveness rate of ectodermatol intermediates against 22 common clinical pathogenic fungi is 81. The effectiveness of 0.1 hydrogenated ginkgo acid in inhibiting 25 clinical pathogenic fungi is 92. In addition, the outer seed coat extract has an inhibitory rate of 88-100% against 11 plant pathogens such as apple anthracnose. The alcohol extract has a control rate of 100% against the silkworm golden looper within 3 days. It can also control pests such as spider mites, green peach aphids, and borer borers. According to the "Folk Veterinary Materia Medica", ginkgo preparations can treat livestock strain, nasal congestion, lung abscess and cough, cough due to lung deficiency, stranguria and blood in the urine, and leucorrhea in female animals. Dingchuan decoction developed by Shandong Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medical Station can treat chicken infectious laryngotracheitis, with a cure rate of 95%.
Ginkgo biloba also has important medicinal value. So far, there are more than 160 kinds of ginkgo leaf extracts whose chemical composition is known.
Mainly include flavonoids, terpenes, phenols, alkaloids, polyisoprene, quinic acid, linoleic acid, pythonic acid, ascorbic acid, a-hexenal, ginkgo alcohol, ginkgo ketone, etc. In the 1960s, the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other institutions developed Shuxuening injection using ginkgo leaves, which has been tested to have certain curative effects on coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, and cerebrovascular diseases. At the same time, ginkgo leaves can also be used as pesticides. Add 1kg of leaves to 20kg of water, boil for 30 minutes, and then soak for 2-3 days. Use the liquid to spray spider mites and cabbage caterpillars, with an insect control rate of over 90% and no residue.
At present, there are more than 50 kinds of skin care, hair care and other products formulated with ginkgo leaf extract. In addition, health products such as ginkgo leaf drinks, ginkgo juice, ginkgo beer, and ginkgo tea developed using ginkgo leaves have been circulated on the market and have achieved good results.
The ecological benefits of Ginkgo are mainly reflected in: From a cultivation point of view, Ginkgo belongs to fruit trees and dry fruits; it belongs to forest trees and timber tree species, protective tree species, disease and insect resistant tree species, longevity tree species and pollution-resistant tree species. Ginkgo has strong adaptability and is an ideal tree species for fast-growing and high-yield forests, farmland shelterbelts, road protection forests, bank protection forests, beach protection forests, village protection forests, forest-grain intercropping and "all around" greening. It can not only provide a large amount of high-quality wood, leaves and seeds, but also purify the air, conserve water sources, prevent wind and sand fixation, maintain water and soil, and improve the microclimate of farmland. It is a good afforestation, greening and ornamental tree species, and has played an important role in adjusting the agricultural and forestry planting structure in the north and south of my country. , the development of forestry in plain agricultural areas is of great significance. Ginkgo wood is high quality and expensive, and is known as "Ginkgo wood" or "Silver wood". Ginkgo wood has glossy texture, straight texture, fine structure, easy processing, no warping, strong corrosion resistance, easy painting, low nail digging force, special medicinal fragrance, and strong moth resistance. In addition to crafts such as carved plaques and wooden fish, ginkgo wood can also be used to make high-end furniture such as cupboards and desks. Ginkgo wood has excellent sound, sound conductivity and elasticity, making it an ideal material for making musical instruments. It can be used to make surveying and mapping instruments, pen holders and other cultural items. It is also a high-quality wood for making chessboards, chess pieces, sports equipment, seals and small handicrafts. In industrial production, silverwood is most suitable for making X-ray machine filter boards, textile printing and dyeing rollers, machine molds and wood molds for bodiless lacquerware, plywood, chopping boards, wooden telephones, etc.
Ginkgo also has good ornamental value. Ginkgo is green in summer and golden in autumn, giving people a sense of handsomeness, majesty, luxury and elegance. Therefore, ginkgo has been regarded as an important tree species in courtyards, walkways, and landscaping in ancient and modern times at home and abroad. In my country's famous mountains, rivers, ancient temples and monasteries, there are all tall and straight ancient ginkgo trees. They have gone through vicissitudes of life and can be traced back to the past and present, giving people a sense of mystery. The poets and poets of the past dynasties set foot in the temples and left many poems and poems. The stele describes the beauty of the scenery, and the text contains the merits and deeds to express pride. No wonder people marvel at the close connection between ancient ginkgo and ancient culture.
The ginkgo is majestic, with curved trunks, lush and solemn. Ginkgoes with graceful postures are selected and processed into bonsais. The majestic appearance of ginkgoes in nature is concentrated in the pots. It is ancient, elegant, wild and interesting, and it is easy to put on the desk and make people feel happy.

Poisoning Ginkgo poisoning has been recorded in ancient times and has been reported frequently in recent years. There are reports. Most of them occur in autumn when the ginkgo fruits are ripe and are caused by excessive frying or cooking. It is more common in children under 10 years old, and occasionally in adults. The amount taken by a poisoned person ranges from 7 to 150 capsules for children and from 40 to 300 capsules for adults. The time for poisoning to appear ranges from 1 to 12 hours after eating. Symptoms are mainly in the central nervous system, and include vomiting, coma, drowsiness, fear, convulsions, or dullness, elevated body temperature, difficulty breathing, blue complexion, constricted or dilated pupils, slow reaction to light, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. etc., the total number of white blood cells and neutrophils increased. A few cases also have peripheral nerve dysfunction, with complete flaccid paralysis or paresis of both lower limbs, and loss of touch and pain sensation. Most patients can recover after treatment, but a few die due to severe poisoning or delayed rescue. It is generally believed that the cause of poisoning and the severity of poisoning are closely related to age, physical strength and the amount of food taken. The younger the age, the greater the possibility of poisoning and the more severe the degree of poisoning; the greater the intake and the weaker the constitution, the higher the mortality rate.
