"Compendium of Materia Medica": "Ejiao is a top-grade product in the Ben Jing. Hong Jing said, 'It comes from Dong'e, so it is called Ejiao.'" Dong'e County is the birthplace and main production area of Ejiao, with a history of more than 2,500 years. It was a tribute from the Han and Tang Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Efficacy Ejiao is sweet, mild and non-toxic. It is a top-grade medicine and a holy medicine for blood tonic. It is mainly used to treat symptoms such as heart and abdominal collapse and bleeding in women. Long-term use will make the body lighter and more energetic. There are thousands of ancient prescriptions, both medicine and tonic, used in all branches of traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body, resist evil and defend the outside world, and is recorded in the history of plague and SARS treatment. There is an Ajing in Dong'e County. The groundwater system is the undercurrent at the intersection of Mount Tai and Mount Taihang. It is the yin of Mount Tai and the yang of Mount Taihang. The yin and yang complement each other. The relative density is 1.0038. It is rich in minerals and trace elements, and it is easy to remove impurities, making the gelatin pure and suitable for human absorption. Li Shizhen said that this well "is where the Ji River flows. You can boil gelatin with well water, and stir the turbid water to make it clear. Therefore, people take it and it can relieve phlegm and stop vomiting. The water is clear and heavy, and its nature tends to go down, so it can treat turbidity and phlegm that rises up". After thousands of years of inheritance and accumulation, the exquisite traditional craftsmanship of Dong'e Ejiao has been formed, including more than 50 processes such as skinning, peeling, and boiling juice, all of which are manual operations. Boiling and drying gelatin are particularly complex, and the steps of hanging beads, smashing oil, and hanging monkeys require considerable skill. It takes six or seven years to get the hang of it. It takes nine days and nine nights to make fresh gelatin. The process regulations of Dong'e Ejiao are included in the first batch of scientific and technological confidentiality projects of the State Food and Drug Administration. From Cao Zhi calling Ejiao "immortal medicine" to Xiao Xingzao of the Tang Dynasty revealing that Yang Guifei "secretly took Ejiao and refused to tell", Ejiao culture integrates medicine, history, philosophy, health preservation, tonic, and paste prescription culture. Dong'e Ejiao has won the Panama International Gold Award, the Traditional Medicine "Great Wall" International Gold Award, the Chinese Time-honored Brand, the Chinese Well-known Trademark and other honors.
