摘要: 清代人参大致分为两类: 即自然生长的老山参和人工培育的“秧参”。前者在品质上远胜后者,清朝将东北老山参作为皇室的贡品。然而老山参年久难觅,在品相上两者又十分相似,参农们便常常将秧参混杂在老山参之间,以次充好,为此清朝实行了严厉的查禁政策。由于人参利大,东北地方官员往往对下敲诈参农,对上欺蒙中央,中饱私囊。结果事发,东北地区的主要官员相继被查处。

Abstract: There were primarily two kinds of ginseng in the Qing Dynasty: naturally-grown wild old ginseng and artificially cultivated “ginseng seedlings”. The former was much better than the latter in terms of product quality. In the Qing Dynasty, wild ginseng from Northeastern China were requested as tribute to the imperial family. However, wild ginseng was hard to find because of its long growth cycle, and the two types were hard to distinguish, so ginseng farmers often mixed ginseng seedlings with wild old ginseng, pretending that the shoddy goods were of high quality. For this reason, the Qing Dynasty implemented a rigorous examination and control policy. Due to the high profits of ginseng, local officials in Northeastern China frequently extorted ginseng farmers as well as cheated the central government, in order to make a large amount of money for themselves. Finally when the matter was brought to light,the main officials in the Northeast were investigated and punished one after another.
