This is the standard of ancient beauty, so I won't say it in ancient times. Now it's refreshing to think about it. This is also the beauty that many women have dreamed of for thousands of years.

1? The history of Ejiao

Ejiao, from Dong 'e, Shandong Province, was originally named Ejiao.

The earliest record of Ejiao is Shennong Herbal Classic, which is listed as top grade, about 2000 years ago. According to the book, Ejiao "was born in Dongping County, boiled cowhide, and came from 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 It can be seen that Ejiao was originally made of cowhide.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 is still in use today.

By the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen, a great medical scientist, had clearly pointed out that donkey hide was the raw material of Ejiao, and "cowhide, horse skin and saddle skin were not allowed to enter", and called Ejiao made of pure cowhide yellow gelatin.

There are obvious differences in efficacy between Ejiao and yellow gelatin. Yellow gelatin has a better hemostatic effect, and Ejiao has a very good effect of enriching blood, stopping bleeding and invigorating qi, which has a very wide range of medicinal and health care values.

Compendium of Materia Medica begins with Ejiao, the holy medicine. It is also said in the Outline that "women eat donkey-hide gelatin, while beauty beauty stays young" and that "old people eat donkey-hide gelatin to prolong life and cure all diseases". Herbal Dietotherapy also says that Ejiao can remove all dryness and dampness, dispel wind and relieve pain. Praised by famous doctors in past dynasties.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese Calendar Pharmacopoeia clearly stipulated that donkey hide was used to boil donkey hide and yellow gelatin was made from cowhide. Today, Shandong Ejiao is known as an intangible cultural heritage and has become one of the national treasures.

In ancient times, Ejiao, as a royal tribute, was supervised by the court, some were presented to the court, some were given by the government or sold at a high price. It is naturally difficult for ordinary people to know its benefits.

There is a poem in the Tang Dynasty, which comes from "All Tang Poems": "Lead flowers wash off clothes, but the rain cannot stop. I secretly ate Ejiao and refused to say that I was born a gentleman. " This is praising Yang Guifei and revealing her beauty: when is Ejiao? Beauty products.

Zhu, a master of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, advised his mother to eat Ejiao, saying, "A loving mother should be calm when she is old. Eat less and eat more. Fruits and vegetables are fashionable. Colla Corii Asini and Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae as auxiliary materials. Geng Yan continues his life and his children pray. " Colla Corii Asini and Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae are put together to nourish vitality.

During Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty, the curative effect of Ejiao was recorded with examples. When Cixi was born as a cotton, she suffered from "blood diseases", namely functional uterine bleeding and irregular menstruation. After several treatments, the imperial doctor didn't work. It is suggested that Cixi take Ejiao for treatment.

Cixi tried to take Ejiao to regulate menstruation and stop bleeding, and sure enough, the bleeding stopped the disease. Later, a baby boy was born smoothly, which was the later Tongzhi emperor. At this point, Cixi has a soft spot for Ejiao and believes in it for life.

With the development of modern media, cases of people's protection are circulated on TV and Internet. In the 1990s, photos of Sun Peijue in Taiwan Province Province began to spread among the people. At the age of 96, she is not only alert and bright, but also looks good. The reason is that she has eaten Ejiao for more than 40 years.

Zeng Shixin, a colleague, began to take Ejiao from 1956, and she had long black shawls until she was 90 years old. In 2008, Health Weekly also rated her as a health star.

100-year-old Yu Zhongxiu has traveled all over China. He has been eating donkey-hide gelatin every day since 20 12. More than a year has passed, and his physical condition has greatly improved. His son Chen said that some of the old man's white hair began to turn black, and his legs and feet became more flexible, showing signs of rejuvenation.

Even the old people climbed Huangshan by themselves, which surprised the passengers along the way. He is the oldest man to climb Huangshan Mountain.

The main raw material for producing Ejiao is donkey skin. 1935, the 778-page Dictionary of China Pharmacy published by the former World Bookstore recorded the traditional production method of genuine Ejiao under the item of distinguishing authenticity.

-"Every spring, choose a pure black and healthy donkey, feed it with grass from the twelve mountains in Dong 'e Town, and drink the water from langxi River. Slaughter and take skin in winter, soak it in langxi River for four or five days, scrape it clean, and soak it for a few days. Take Ajing Water and langxi River, cook it with mulberry wood for three days and nights, remove slag and save worry, then use a silver pot gold shovel, and add ginseng and glutinous rice. Its color is bright and clean, its taste is sweet and salty, and its breath is fragrant. Historical Records is really Ejiao. "

As a beauty lover, I am most concerned about the beauty effect of Ejiao.

1, enriching blood and stopping bleeding:

Women's faces are like peach blossoms. First of all, she must be full of qi and blood, just as Ejiao can promote hematopoiesis and obviously increase the content of red blood cells and hemoglobin.

2. Beauty:

Ejiao enriches blood and nourishes skin, which is beneficial to skin health care. After taking Ejiao, the skin color is rosy, the skin is delicate and shiny, which can supplement the nutrients needed by the skin and promote the absorption of calcium. The maintenance result is the same.

3, improve sleep:

Sleeping beauty, of course, the more you sleep, the more beautiful you are, and beauty cannot be separated from adequate sleep.

Ejiao can strengthen calcium nutrition and maintain nerve function by nourishing yin and nourishing blood and tonifying deficiency, and has a strong sedative effect. It can also enhance the central nervous system function, stabilize mental mood, eliminate depression, tension and irritability, and play a role in calming the nerves.

4, delay aging:

Colla Corii Asini contains collagen, collagen, protein and 17 elements such as calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium and zinc. Hydrolysis of protein produces a variety of amino acids, including lysine 10%, arginine 7%, histidine 2% and so on. These are all important substances for human nutrition, which can resist aging and prolong life.

1, eat alone: Ejiao can be taken with yellow wine, but it is difficult to swallow this way, so eating alone is not recommended.

2, homemade Ejiao cake: ingredients include walnuts, black sesame seeds, red dates, medlar, yellow wine, old rock sugar can also add some longan meat. Although this kind is a little troublesome, it has all the ingredients, of course, the effect is better and it tastes sweet and delicious. You can eat in front of snacks, but don't eat too much a day. Eating too much is easy to get angry.

If you think it is troublesome to make your own Ejiao cakes, there are many ready-made Ejiao cakes, online and from Wechat business.

Ejiao is a mild tonic with the same origin of medicine and food. You can eat it all year round, but it works best in winter. There is a saying called "tonic in winter, hunting tigers in the coming year". It can also be seen that winter is the best time to eat Ejiao.

It is best to take it at 1 hour 30 minutes after breakfast and lunch. For people whose stomachs are not particularly good or who have gastrointestinal problems, it will be better to eat Ejiao at this time.

It should be noted that people with colds and diarrhea should not take it temporarily during their illness.

Finally, sing a beautiful poem:

I hope that all our women will always remain young and never look old! This winter, let's keep our youth together! Keep your beautiful face!
