Preparation: The above nineteen herbs are used, with Dingfen kept separate. Soak the herbs in 5 jin of refined sesame oil. Soak for five days in spring, three days in summer, seven days in autumn, and ten days in winter. When the time is sufficient, place them in a clean large pot and simmer over low heat until the herbs become dry and float to the surface. Let the fire rest for a moment, then filter out the dregs using a cloth bag. Weigh the oil accurately; for every 1 jin of oil, add 0.5 jin of Dingfen. Stir occasionally with peach or willow branches until the plaster is black as lacquer and bright as a mirror, and forms beads when dropped into water. Spread on thin paper for application.
