In recent years, the village has fully leveraged its selenium-rich ecological resources and adopted a "corporation + base + cooperative + farmer" development model. It has cultivated over 3,000 mu (200 ha.) of medicinal herbs—including Yuzhu, Xuansen (Scrophularia ningpoensis Hemsl.) and Huangjing (polygonatum cyrtonema Hua)—making the herbal medicine industry a cash caw for local residents.
