藤黄属（藤黄科）由于其民族植物学和药理意义，在世界范围内受到越来越多的科学关注。在中国，尽管藤黄属植物长期以来被用于食品、民族医药、建筑材料和其他用途，但对该属的全面民族植物学研究明显有限。在目前的研究中，通过实地调查和文献综述，对藤黄属植物的民族植物学意义进行了广泛的研究。我们的研究表明，从古代开始，包括公元960-1127年的北宋时期，藤黄植物就被用于民间医药。通过与属的广泛互动，中国人获得了丰富的传统知识，主要体现在以下六个方面：食品、传统药物、观赏树木、建筑和技术、文化和精神意义以及各种用途。其中，Garcinia hanburyi、G. paucinervis、G. xanthochymus和G. oblongifolia具有重要的文化或精神价值，可被视为当地社区的文化基石物种，因为它对人们的文化、精神和社区认同做出了重要贡献。然而，总的来说，在知识和藤黄物种中也发现了一些源于迅速的社会经济变化的问题。需要采取策略来保护传统的植物学知识和植物。
The genus Garcinia L. (Clusiaceae) is gaining increasing scientific attention worldwide owing to its ethnobotanical and pharmacological significance. In China, even though Garcinia plants have long been used for food, ethnomedicine, building materials, and other purposes, a comprehensive ethnobotanical study of the genus is notably limited. In the current study, the ethnobotanical importance of Garcinia plants has been extensively investigated through field surveys and literature reviews. Our studies revealed that Garcinia plants have been used in folk medicine since ancient times in China, including the Northern Song Dynasty 960-1127 AD. Through their extensive interactions with genus, the Chinese people have gained various traditional knowledge, which is reflected in the following six aspects: food, traditional medicines, ornamental trees, construction and technology, cultural and spiritual significance, and miscellaneous uses. In particular, the four species: Garcinia hanburyi, G. paucinervis, G. xanthochymus, and G. oblongifolia, have cultural or spiritual values, among which G. paucinervis could be considered a cultural keystone species in the local communities, considering its crucial contribution to people's cultures, spirits, and community identity. However, in general, some concerns originating from swift socio-economic changes have also been identified in the knowledge and Garcinia species. Strategies are needed to conserve traditional botanical knowledge, as well as plants.
