The beautiful lyrics of the orange stalk ballad: "Platycodon grandiflorum, Platycodon grandiflorum, Platycodon grandiflorum and White Platycodon grandiflorum are all over Shan Ye. Just dig out one or two trees and you can fill a big basket. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, how beautiful and cute this is. This is also our labor production. " This is the Korean folk song "Ballad of Orange Stalk", also known as "Dolaji". "Dao La Ji" is a kind of wild vegetable that Koreans like to eat, namely platycodon grandiflorum.
This Korean folk song was first produced in gangwon, and later spread all over the Korean peninsula. The lyrics are different, and the tune is smooth and smooth. Legend has it that Dalaki is a girl's name. When the local landlord robbed her of her debt, her lover hacked the landlord to death angrily and was thrown into prison. The girl died of grief and asked to be buried on the mountain road where young people had to chop wood. The next spring, purple flowers appeared on her grave. People call it "Dolaji" (meaning "Platycodon grandiflorum" in Korean) and sing it in songs to praise the innocent love of girls.

In the past, South Korea planted and processed a large number of platycodon grandiflorum, but savvy Koreans found that China's platycodon grandiflorum was of high quality and low price, so they turned to import a large number of platycodon grandiflorum from China, processed it into medicinal vegetables and sold it to Japan, the United States and other countries and regions, which made a lot of profits.
