The origin of honeysuckle is China. In many regions of China, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Hubei, Jiangxi, etc., there are suitable climate and soil conditions for the growth of honeysuckle, so these areas are the main production areas of honeysuckle.
Honeysuckle has a long cultivation history in China, and there are differences in quality, yield, and medicinal value among different regions of honeysuckle. For example, the honeysuckle in Xinmi City, Henan Province is known for its best quality, while Pingyi County, Shandong Province is one of the main production areas of honeysuckle, with a large yield and multiple cultivated strains. Fengqiu County, as one of the birthplaces of honeysuckle in China, is known for its authentic characteristics of straight (upright growth), large (tall plants), high (high medicinal content), and green (tender color) honeysuckle, with a planting history of over 1500 years.
Honeysuckle, as a widely distributed traditional Chinese medicine in China, has a clear origin in China and has developed unique cultivated varieties and medicinal values in multiple regions.
