Allusion: Among the four ancient beauties, Yang Guifei had the best skin. Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once described Yang Guifei's skin like this, saying, "It was early spring. They bathed her in the FlowerPure pool, which warmed and smoothed the creamy crystals on her skin, which means that Yang Guifei's skin is very delicate and smooth. Ejiao cake made of Ejiao, known as "blood-enriching medicine", is one of the beauty secrets of great beauty.
The world's first pharmacopoeia, the fifteenth volume of Newly Revised Materia Medica promulgated by the Tang government, clearly records: "Ejiao is made from donkey skin and is called Ejiao. There are three kinds of calligraphy and painting, thin and clear. Thick and clear, it is called can-covering glue, which is used as medicine. Those who are turbid can use glue and cannot be used as medicine. " It is clearly pointed out in the literature that the raw material of Ejiao at that time was donkey skin. Ejiao cake and sea ginseng can only play a role when eaten together.

1. In a clean ceramic pot, pour Ejiao (tortoise plastron glue or antler glue, depending on people), add yellow wine, and fry with slow fire to remove the fishy smell. After the donkey-hide gelatin is completely melted and foamed, add red dates, longan pulp, walnut meat, crystal sugar and black sesame seeds, and constantly stir and mix evenly to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot.
