Nine steaming and nine sunning is not only a craft, but also an art of sticking to tradition and time. Each piece of polygonum multiflorum condenses the essence of heaven and earth and the painstaking efforts of craftsmen. It is worth savoring and collecting carefully.
Exploring and Harvesting Nature in the Deep Mountains
Our craftsmen venture deep into sparsely populated primitive forests such as Qinling and Daba Mountains before and after frost every year, searching for wild Polygonum multiflorum with sufficient growth years and excellent appearance. Hand picking and digging to avoid mechanical damage, ensuring that each Polygonum multiflorum is fully preserved as a gift from the earth.
The ancient method deals with cleanliness without harm
Clear mud and remove impurities: Immediately rinse the harvested Polygonum multiflorum with mountain spring water, gently brush off the surface soil with a soft bristled brush, and keep the roots intact
Natural drying: Place it in a ventilated bamboo plaque and let it dry in the shade for three days until the surface moisture evaporates naturally
Bamboo Knife Peeling: Experienced craftsmen use specially made bamboo knives to manually remove the outer skin, completely avoiding metal contact and preserving the yellow white inner texture
Strict selection of authentic and pure roots
Selected 20-year-old wild native Polygonum multiflorum, only taking the most plump segment of the “Yuntou Crane Neck” in the middle of the rhizome. The root body is thick and symmetrical, and the cross-section contains natural cloud brocade patterns, making it an excellent choice.
The Nine Nine Year Journey to True Achievement
Following the thousand year old Taoist tradition, it has undergone nine cycles of steaming and drying. Every steaming and cooking is soaked in mountain springs, and every round of exposure is exposed to sunlight and moonlight. The complete cycle of nine steaming and nine sun drying lasts for more than 40 days to obtain the ultimate product that is smooth and shiny.
The changes in craftsmanship are remarkable and worth learning from
Shape: From light yellow to dark and shiny, the shape shrinks and the texture becomes dense
Color: When viewed through the light, a deep amber like transparent texture can be seen inside
Quality: Soft and elastic to the touch, with a delicate and oily texture visible when unfolded
Taste: At first glance, there is a faint caramel aroma, but upon closer inspection, it emits a unique medicinal and nutty fragrance
The ancient method of nine steaming Kun fire as a guide
Using traditional bamboo steaming with pine wood, steam slowly over low heat for twelve hours. The steam permeates the interior of the rhizome, completing the prologue of each transformation. After each steaming, it is necessary to let it settle and wait for the next sublimation.
[Sunlight Nine Dews Absorb essence]
Spread on the bamboo plaque, receiving the alternating nourishment of sunlight and night dew. Absorb yang energy during the day and gather moonlight at night. After nine cycles, the color gradually turns into a deep dark black, and the texture becomes soft and glossy.
Craftsmanship and detail control throughout the process
Every step adheres to ancient methods:
The water used for steaming is all taken from deep mountain springs
Avoid pollution during the sun drying process and only use bamboo plaques for storage
Record the steaming time and weather conditions separately for each batch of products
After nine rounds of steaming and drying, it needs to be aged in a pottery jar for seven days
Inheriting ancient methods and producing modern products
Although following the ancient method, each batch has passed modern testing to ensure no sulfur fumigation or additives. The combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern standards preserves the essence of ancient methods while meeting contemporary quality requirements.
Elegant packaging, suitable for etiquette and storage
Using traditional mulberry paper for inner sealing and purple clay jar for outer protection, it not only prevents moisture and light, but also exudes a sense of antiquity and elegance. Whether for personal use or as a gift, it is a special gift that carries time and craftsmanship.
Cultural elegance, lifestyle aesthetics
Jiu Zhi Shouwu is not only a crystallization of traditional craftsmanship, but also a reflection of aesthetic life. Suitable for placement in tea rooms and study rooms, its deep color and warm texture add a rustic charm to the space.
First steaming, first sun drying, first appearance of true appearance
The first steaming process used pine wood and firewood, and the mountain spring water steam lasted for 12 hours, causing the Polygonum multiflorum to change from hard to soft, and the internal starch began to transform. After cooking, place it on a bamboo plaque and let it air dry in pure sunlight for three days until its surface tightens slightly and turns light brown.
[Repeatedly tempered eight times in a loop]
Every subsequent steaming and drying session was unique and ingenious:
Two to four steaming: the color gradually deepens, from yellow brown to reddish brown, emitting a unique aroma
Five to seven steaming: The texture changes from hard to soft, and the internal oil gradually seeps out, appearing shiny and lustrous in the sunlight
Eight to nine steaming: The final result presents a dark and shiny texture, with a smooth cross-section and a deep amber color under light
