Judging from the amino acids produced, Ejiao is similar to gelatin, but the former contains more lysine and cystine and lacks tryptophan. It contains 0.75 ~ 1.09% ash and 0.079 ~ 0. 1 18% calcium.
According to the National Pharmacopoeia, Ejiao can only be boiled with donkey skin. Other animals' fur has different effects of cooking gelatin, among which cowhide is called yellow gelatin, which has the second effect, while donkey-hide gelatin cooked with horse skin has the opposite effect. Once eaten by pregnant women, it is very likely to lead to miscarriage.

Chinese civilization has a long history, national culture is profound and profound, and the nation is based on "harmony". As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a flourishing age of "a hundred schools of thought contend" in China, among which Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, was the most representative, and Confucius took "harmony" as the core of his humanistic spirit, which had a far-reaching influence on later generations. His disciple "Youzi" also said, "Harmony is the most important gift."
"Harmony" is the essence of all things in the universe and the foundation of the existence of all things in heaven and earth. Mencius also said, "The weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony." Jiugong glue is the crystallization of karma of "Heaven makes beauty, people and everything prosper".
Laozi, the founder of Taoism, put forward the view that "all things are negative and embrace Yang, while rushing to think about harmony" in the forty-second chapter of Laozi, arguing that "Tao" contains two opposing aspects of Yin and Yang, and everything contains Yin and Yang, which interact to form "harmony", and water and fire help to make the holy medicine. Authentic Ejiao contains the concept of harmony between man and nature, harmony between fire and water and harmony between yin and yang.
As early as the late summer and early Shang Dynasty, Yi Yin, the originator of decoction, discovered the medicinal efficacy of Ejiao, and was honored as "the originator of Ejiao" by later generations. Water is the soul of Ejiao. Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty said in Notes on Water Classics: "There is a well in Dong 'a, which is as big as a wheel and six or seven feet deep. When I was ten years old, I often cooked to pay tribute to Tianfu. "
Jiugong glue needs water, and it must be taken to the shady place of winter solstice; The extraction of Jiugong gum must use pure natural precious grass seeds as the skin of black donkey; The water from the well in Dong 'e, the fire of mulberry trees, was made by hand in 1999 and practiced hard for nine days.
Set "the aura of heaven and earth in one furnace", it occupies "the right place and the right time". Jiugong glue is a magical product of flesh and blood, which not only combines negative yin with yang, but also conforms to the trend of the times and blends with the traditional "harmony" culture of the Chinese nation.
In order to carry forward and inherit the profound traditional Chinese medicine culture in China, Qin Yufeng, the representative inheritor and president of Dong 'e Ejiao, a national intangible cultural heritage, resumed the Jiugong Rubber Refining Ceremony which had been interrupted for many years since 2007. The annual ceremony will be held as scheduled in Dong 'e County, Shandong Province, the ancient and sacred origin of Ejiao.
