Tongjiang Tremella, the hometown of tremella in China.
The cultivation technology of artificial tremella in China began in the 20th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, but the early tremella was in a semi-wild state. At that time, ear farmers cut down trees every year, inoculated with natural spores, and only collected 50- 100 grams of dry ears per 100 kilograms of wood. Tongjiang Tremella is a famous specialty in China, which is rich in various amino acids and trace elements needed by human body and has high medicinal and edible value. Tongjiang County, Bazhong City has a mild and humid climate, which is most suitable for the growth of edible fungi and is the birthplace of tremella. Tongjiang county has a history of planting tremella fuciformis for more than 50 years, with more than 70,000 hectares of ear forest resources and an annual output of 600,000 kilograms of tremella fuciformis. A series of peripheral products, such as tremella food, tremella beverage, tremella health products and tremella cosmetics, have been developed locally, with an annual output value of over 654.38 billion yuan, which has become the economic pillar industry of Tongjiang County.

Tremella is not only the pride of Tongjiang, but also the dedication of Tongjiang people. Tongjiang Tremella, as a precious health food, is well-known and has enjoyed a world-renowned reputation as early as the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of last century, it has been sold to all countries in the world. According to the "History Book", Zhu Houcong, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, was restless and sleepless all night because he often took "Dan medicine". Later, a minister recommended taking Tongjiang Tremella, and he felt calm and refreshed. Since then, tremella has become a tribute to the Ming emperor and many emperors in the future.

In the late 1970s, doctors and nutritionists in China further studied Tongjiang Tremella. Tongjiang Tremella fruiting body is rich in vitamin B, polysaccharide, protein, iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, sulfur and other trace elements needed by human body.

At the first Tongjiang Tremella Festival in 199 1, Tongjiang Tremella won unanimous praise from thousands of merchants at home and abroad for its long history, world-renowned advantages and unique cultivation techniques, and gained investment and recognition from merchants from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. At the first Dongxiang Tremella Festival in 2004, Tongjiang Tremella Museum was successfully launched, which introduced the origin, development, production and trade history of tremella to the world system for the first time.

Tongjiang tremella is shaped like a cockscomb, beige, transparent and thick in gum. Its earliest birthplace is in Fuyang, Michael Chen-Jiuwan 18 Fort. In the words of ear farmers, the origin of tremella can be explained as "natural fog, fog exposed, ears exposed." . Because Tongjiang Tremella is bred under peculiar natural environment and climatic conditions, some experts say: Tongjiang Tremella is the crystallization of the essence of the sun and the moon. In the landscape of Jiuwan 18 Fort, every time after sunset, the air rises from Ran Ran in the grass; At the same time, clouds of fog slowly descended from the sky. At midnight, the atmosphere meets the fog, merging into cotton-like white clouds, rolling in the forest and winding in the mountains, changing into various strange shapes. The scenery is spectacular, which is simply the so-called "harmony between heaven and earth" image in the Book of Changes. This process will last until about 10 o'clock the next day, when the clouds slowly disperse, forming a mist and finally disappearing completely. After sunset in the afternoon, the above process began to repeat.
