With the booming market for Thuja sutchuenensis in recent years, gossips have also come out. Among the disagreements and debates about Thuja sutchuenensis, the one that has the greatest impact or the most negative impact is the "toxic theory." After reviewing a large amount of literature and interviewing relevant people, we found that the "toxic theory" is unscientific and subjective, goes against the truth and misleads consumers. Many people are still unfamiliar with this new rising star in the world of cultural relics. Therefore, it is normal for people to express their opinions from various angles. This is not only true for cliff cypress, but also for other cultural relics, because there is no national standard for cultural relics. Previously, some experts said in the media that Thuja sutchuenensis is poisonous and that its fragrance and smell are poisonous, causing an uproar in the market! It caused panic among people. Li Shizhen, a medical scientist and pharmacist in the Ming Dynasty, has already given the answer that Thuja sutchuenensis is non-toxic. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that Thuja sutchuenensis is a wood of longevity and can be eaten. It is non-toxic, can eliminate rheumatism, and soothes the five internal organs. Long-term use can make people moisturized and beautiful, have sharp ears and eyes, prevent hunger and aging, prolong life, moisturize the liver, nourish the heart, moisturize the kidneys, calm the soul, improve intelligence and soothe the mind, and moisturize the hair. It was after reaching this conclusion that Li Shizhen recorded Thuja sutchuenensis as a Chinese medicinal ingredient in Compendium of Materia Medica. Therefore, Thuja has been used as medicine since ancient times.

As we all know, the city tree of the capital Beijing is Platycladus orientalis. Platycladus orientalis and Thuja thuja both belong to the cypress family, and the most common ancient tree in Beijing is also Platycladus orientalis! One of the important reasons why Platycladus orientalis has become the city tree of the capital Beijing and is protected and respected is because of its medicinal effects. According to the Beijing government's official website, "Platycladus orientalis is native to North China, the Yellow River and the Huaihe River basins. Platycladus orientalis is also a very good medicinal tree species. Its young branches and leaves can be harvested and used as medicine all year round.
