When it comes to Chinese medicine, there is a mantra: "Three treasures of Chinese medicine, ginseng, velvet antler and donkey-hide gelatin". Ejiao (also known as donkey hide glue) has a long history of more than 2000 years. It is made from high-quality donkey skin by boiling.
Li Shizhen called it "holy medicine" in Compendium of Materia Medica. The record of Ejiao was first seen in Shennong Herbal Classic in the Western Han Dynasty, about two thousand years ago. The book says: Ejiao "was born in Dongping County, boiled cowhide, and went to Dongke." It can be seen that Ejiao was originally made of cowhide. In the Tang Dynasty, people found that Ejiao boiled with donkey skin had better medicinal effect, so they changed cowhide into donkey skin, which has been used ever since.
The main raw material for making Ejiao is donkey skin, and there are more than a dozen accessories such as rock sugar, Shaoxing wine and soybean oil. It is made from well water containing various minerals peculiar to Dong 'a by traditional production technology. The production cycle is long, and the process requirements are strict. It can only be completed after more than ten processes such as material selection, water washing, peeling, refining, cutting and drying.
Ejiao is a neat rectangular block, usually about 8.5 cm long and 3.7 cm wide, about 0. 7- 1.5 cm. The surface is brownish black or blackish, smooth and shiny, slightly transparent to light, firm and brittle, and the cross section is brownish black or blackish, without fishy smell, especially Xia Hou is not soft.
Modern scientific analysis shows that Ejiao contains 19 amino acids necessary for human body. Ejiao is sweet and has the functions of enriching blood, stopping bleeding, nourishing yin and moistening lung. Recent research shows that it can promote the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin; It has obvious hemostatic effect, which is related to improving the balance of calcium in the body, promoting the absorption of calcium and slightly increasing serum calcium. Animal experiments of Ejiao liquid show that it can raise blood pressure, resist traumatic shock and prevent progressive muscular dystrophy. Colla Corii Asini contains gelatin and bone collagen, which produces lysine, arginine, histidine and cystine after hydrolysis, and contains calcium and sulfur. Therefore, Ejiao is also regarded as a nourishing product by modern people. Created new products such as yellow gelatin, antler glue, tortoise plastron glue and dog bone glue, especially glue paste, Ejiao wine and Ejiao ginseng essence.
The groundwater in Dong 'e, Shandong Province is unique in quality and pure in substance. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to "authenticity", as Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica, "It's not bad to fry a donkey skin with well water. Real people don't stink, and Xia Yue is not wet and soft. " Although the donkey can tell at a glance, it is a "foreign guest", not a native of China. Among them, the black donkey comes from Sinai Peninsula in Arabian Peninsula, and the brown donkey comes from Mexico in America. The former settled in China during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the latter arrived by boat in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties (see Volume 10 of Clearing Banknotes above).
According to China Pharmacopoeia, the raw material of Ejiao is the skin of horse and donkey. Donkeys are spiritual things, and their mounts and Zhang's mounts are donkeys. Donkeys have a lot of personality. People often say that they should be obedient to donkeys, but if they are too restrained, they will feel manic, their body hormones will suddenly increase and their fur will be full, especially when the end is approaching. So there is a legend that when they are slaughtered with glue, they will be blindfolded and killed with sticks. This is a fact. Therefore, Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that Ejiao is taken from donkey skin, Niu Pijiao is called yellow gelatin, and other skins are not allowed to enter medicine.
Ejiao is an industrial product, and consumers can't see the quality of raw materials from the appearance, which requires producers to have professional ethics and social conscience. Dong 'e Ejiao pays special attention to product quality, and the qualified rate of product market spot check is 100%. In order to ensure the pure quality of products, raw materials have been strictly controlled for many years. There is a "five don 'ts" principle in the process of accepting donkey skins: 1. Don't use donkey skin with skin diseases; 2. Don't be the donkey skin of the year; 3. Don't use skin without obvious identification features; A supplier mixed mule skin into it, and the mule's head was cut off because of its small ears. 4. Don't use moldy leather; 5. Donkey skins treated with chemicals should not be used; The responsibility lies with people. Dong 'e Ejiao has strict material selection and requirements. The control of raw materials ensures the product quality of Dong 'e Ejiao. In order to ensure the source of raw materials, we signed a long-term supply contract with raw material suppliers in the form of futures orders, and the total amount of orders accounted for more than 80% of the total amount of donkey skins in China. In order to ensure the supply of raw materials, the radius of procurement has now reached as far as Central Asia, Australia and America. Dong 'e Ejiao is an extremely important product in the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine. In order to ensure the quality, it is far worthy of the predecessors, almost worthy of the patients, and the producers are long-distance buyers. Why bother to go abroad repeatedly? The reason why Dong 'e Ejiao has such a high reputation in the hearts of consumers is that besides good water and pure materials, professionalism is a more important part.
