The method of making medicinal liquor has been discussed by the ancients for a long time. For example, in Su Wen, there are discourses that "the ancient sages made soup to wake up the spirit" and "evil spirits should be well served when the time comes", which are the early records of medicinal liquor treatment. The cooking methods of red and blue wine and hemp yellow wine soup collected in Zhang Zhongjing's synopsis of the golden chamber in the Eastern Han Dynasty are similar to those of modern hot soaking method. Tang and Sun Simiao's "Prepare Thousand Gold Prescriptions for Emergency Use" comprehensively discussed the preparation method and taking method of medicinal liquor. "Where the wine, medicine cut thin, medicine silk bag, head seal. On April 5 th, spring and summer, and July 8 th, autumn and winter, the taste is full, and the slag is removed to take the wine ... It is appropriate to take the wine in winter and stop at the beginning of spring. " Another example is Compendium of Materia Medica, which records that shochu is made by distillation. "With spirits and distiller's grains, dew was taken away by the steamer. Any sour wine can be soju, steamed in a jar with distiller's yeast for seven days, clear as water, with extremely strong flavor and full of wine dew. " This method of operation is basically the same as modern one. In addition, the methods and operation methods of making medicinal liquor by cold soaking and traditional hot soaking were explained in detail. According to the medical literature of past dynasties, ancient medicinal liquor and modern medicinal liquor have different characteristics. First, the ancient medicinal liquor was mainly medicinal liquor, and there were also cold soaking and hot soaking methods; Second, the base wine, mostly yellow wine, is milder than white wine. Modern medicinal liquor mostly uses white wine as solvent, and the alcohol content is generally 50%-60%. A few varieties are still brewed with yellow wine, and the alcohol content is 30%-50%. The preparation method is extraction and small amount of brewing.

According to legend, there is also a method of making medicinal liquor-kiln magnetization process.

As we all know, there are many compatible materials for medicinal liquor, and each material is different in both organizational structure and chemical composition. Direct inclusion in the formula will lead to rejection of the functional efficacy of each material. It is easy to reduce the curative effect of the product, and even make the formula change chemically and transform it into toxic and harmful substances, which has a negative impact on the human body and threatens health. Kiln magnetization technology is a combination of China traditional kiln brewing technology, modern high-tech magnetization technology and nano-microwave technology. By using the principle of "trinity", compatible ingredients are organically integrated, and their interaction is promoted on the premise of maintaining the properties of ingredients, so that active ingredients and nutritional ingredients are completely preserved and brought into full play. Zhang Daoling, the originator of Shi Tian's epoch-making, created Miaoqin medicinal liquor, a wonderful wine of "Everything is natural and Yin and Yang are born together". Brewed in this way, the curative effect is more rapid and lasting.

Generally speaking, the production of modern medicinal liquor mostly uses 50-60% liquor. The basis is that because the alcohol concentration is too low, it is not conducive to the dissolution of effective components in Chinese herbal medicines, while the alcohol concentration is too high, sometimes it will absorb a small amount of water in Chinese herbal medicines, making the medicinal materials hard and the effective components difficult to dissolve. Low-alcohol liquor, yellow wine, rice wine or fruit wine can also be used for people who are not good at drinking or who can't drink because of illness, but the extraction time should be appropriately extended or the reflux times should be appropriately increased to ensure the effective components in the medicine.

When preparing medicinal liquor, traditional Chinese medicine is usually soaked in wine. After a period of time, the effective components in traditional Chinese medicine are dissolved in the wine. At this time, you can filter to remove the residue and drink it.
