Abstract: In order to promote the development of the Artemisia argyi industry in Linxia, Artemisia argyi essential oil was extracted by steam distillation and its content was measured; Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（GC-MS）to further analyze the volatile components of Artemisia argyi essential oil, which provides a scientific basis for the development and Utilization of Artemisia argyi resources in Linxia. The results showed that the extraction rate of essential oil from planted Artemisia argyi leaves was 0.55%; 71 components were separated by GC-MS, of which 34 were identified with a relative content of 83.25%, including Borneol（14.73%）, Cineole（14.42%）, and α-thujone（10.78%）; The extraction rate of wild Artemisia argyi essential oil is 0.45%; 84 components were separated , of which 42 components were identified with a relative content of 73.55%, including Cineole（13.08%）, Camphor（9.24%）, and α-thujone（8.51%）. Research has shown that compared to other regions of Artemisia argyi, the essential oil of Artemisia argyi grown in Linxia contains higher levels of Borneol, which is a resource advantage; There is no obvious advantage in wild Artemisia argyi leaves in Linxia.
