广东、广西大部分地区位于亚热带季风气候区内,降雨量大,平均气温在20～23℃之间,是我国水、热资源最丰富的地区。又因这里土壤多呈强酸性,植被覆盖良好,因此特别适于热带、亚热带动植物的生长,孕育了众多享誉海内外的道地药材。以创建于1959年的广西药用植物园为例,它是目前亚洲规模最大、种植药用植物品种最多的专业性药用植物园,被誉为“亚洲第一药园”。这里已引种栽培的药用植物达3000多种,比李时珍的《本草纲目》记载的植物药种还多1000多种,被誉为“立体《本草纲目》”。

Most of Guangdong and Guangxi are located in the subtropical monsoon climate zone, with a large amount of rainfall. The average temperature is between 20~23°C, which is the most abundant water and heat resources in China. Due to the fact that the soil is mostly acidic and the vegetation cover is good, it is particularly suitable for the growth of tropical and subtropical plants and animals. Numerous authentic Chinese herbs have been produced at home and abroad. Take the Guangxi Medical Botanical Garden, which was founded in 1959 as an example. It is the largest professional medicinal botanical garden in Asia with the largest variety of medicinal plants and is known as the “Asia’s No.1 Pharmaceutical Park.” There are more than 3,000 kinds of medicinal plants that have been introduced and cultivated, and there are more than 1,000 kinds of plant species recorded in Li Shizhen’s “Compendium of Materia Medica”, which is known as the “three-dimensional ”Compendium of Materia Medica“”.
