doi:10.7677/ynzwyj201414004

Abstract

Abstract:

The study on traditional knowledge and experience of using plants by Uyghurs folk people has a potential application in socioeconomic development and resource protection. Populus euphratica Oliv and Ppruinosa Schrenk are major plants in Taklimakan desert ecosystem of Xinjiang. This study aims to ascertain the Lopnur Uyghurs traditional knowledge on two Populus species and their cultural system related to these species. We investigated the key informants for interviews on using Populus plants. The Populus plants were used for various purposes. The white alkali crystals are using for the treatment of bloating, sore throat, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers and indigestion and also in soda, while black crystal is used for the treatment of back pain, leg pain, swelling and relieve pain. Alkali crystals are even used as shampoo after a simple processing and also as a laundry detergent. Populus plants water is applied as a treatment of neurasthenia. It is also used for antiaging, reducing blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart morbidity. Plants foliages are used as veterinary medicine such as bloating and rot of muscular and stomach of livestock. In addition, Lopnur people used the plants to build the Desert Ecological Park and controlling desertification. This article ascertained the two Populus speceis and Lopnur Uyghurs cultural system. Present study will improve the conservation of Lopnur Uyghurs folk indigenous/ traditional knowledge on Populus plants and to promote the sustainable development in the socioeconomic diversity.

Key words: Populus euphratica, Ppruinosa, Traditional knowledge, Medical care, White and black alkali crystals, Uyghur people

摘要：

研究维吾尔人利用植物的传统知识和经验，在社会经济发展和资源保护等方面具有潜在的应用价值。胡杨(Populus euphratica Oliv.)和灰叶胡杨(Ppruinosa Schrenk)是新疆沙漠生态系统的主要植物类群，研究采用关键人物访谈法，对胡杨和灰叶胡杨在新疆尉犁县维吾尔族民间的植物文化进行了研究。结果表明：胡杨和灰叶胡杨的胡杨碱白色结晶体在治疗胃胀、咽喉肿痛、胃溃疡、十二指肠溃疡及消化不良等方面有作用；胡杨碱黑色结晶体用于治疗腰疼、腿疼，有消肿及止痛等疗效；胡杨碱加工后作洗发膏和洗衣粉使用；胡杨水不仅治疗神经衰弱，有延缓衰老、降低高血压及高血脂的功效，还能降低心脏病发病率；胡杨和灰叶胡杨枝叶具有治疗家畜胃胀和肌胃腐烂病的作用。当地罗布人利用胡杨树来建设沙漠生态园及控制土壤沙漠化。研究初步揭示了两种胡杨植物与维吾尔人的植物文化体系，维吾尔族植物传统知识的研究，将对我国民族植物学的发展及多样性产生影响。
