The invention has the positive effects that: (1) the method comprises the steps of taking water in a subcritical state as an extraction solvent, transferring polysaccharide components in materials into the liquid extraction solvent in a closed, oxygen-free and low-pressure extraction tank according to the principle that organic matters are similar and soluble mutually, separating the extraction solvent from polysaccharide through a reduced-pressure evaporation process, and removing impurities to finally obtain pure polysaccharide of Artemisia princeps. The polysaccharide has high dissolution rate and high dissolution speed. (2) Photons in the far infrared region have lower energy than photons in the visible and ultraviolet regions and therefore excite the polysaccharide molecules only in the form of stretching, bending, shaking and twisting, and these vibrations and molecular friction generate heat that raises the temperature of the system, thus allowing the polysaccharide to be dissolved out with high selectivity. The far infrared three-dimensional heating mode and the enhancement of the interaction between the sample and the solvent caused by molecular vibration greatly improve the extraction efficiency and obviously shorten the extraction time. In addition, far infrared radiation is compatible with both polar and non-polar solvents and is not harmful to the human body. (3) The ionic liquid is selectively combined with polysaccharide components in a sample by taking hydrophilic interaction, hydrogen bonds and steric hindrance effect as main acting force, so that the dissolving capacity of the extraction system for the polysaccharide is improved, and the selective extraction of the system for the polysaccharide is realized.
