Yinchen is also called Artemisia angustifolia, because of the white fluff on the back of the leaves. Yinchen is the name of traditional Chinese medicine. The freshly excavated Yinchen seedlings taste bitter, slightly pungent, and have a slightly cold nature; they return to the liver, gallbladder, and spleen meridian; they have fragrance and diarrhea; they have the effects of clearing heat, promoting dampness, promoting gallbladder and reducing jaundice. Nourishing the liver in spring is a rare ingredient. However, due to its slightly cold nature, people with weak and cold physique eat less food. Due to the temperature difference in various places, the time for the digging of Yinchen varies from place to place. We have a common saying here: In the first month, the first month is green and the second month is wormwood, and in March, it is used as firewood. This means that only Artemisia sphaerocephala seedlings dug in the first month can be called Yinchen and have medicinal effects. After the first lunar month, it will be haozi, and it can't be used as medicine. It's outdated, so I dig some to eat quickly in the season, and it just happens to be in the spring to nourish the liver. The cellulose content of Yinchen is high, and the taste is not particularly good. Therefore, today this noodle is mainly made with the juice of Yinchen. Even if it takes the effect of Yinchen's medicine and food, it tastes delicious. The Yinchen noodles with lamb's liver are light in taste, which is also very suitable for eating at this time just after the Chinese New Year. "
