Miscellaneous Prescriptions: Mixing Oils, Washing Ink and Lacquer, Repelling Mosquitoes, Extinguishing Candles
The prescription from the household of Han Yudai Tixing is very ingenious.
Sesame Oil (4 liang) [Semen Sesami Oleum]
Tung Oil (3 liang) [Aleuritis Fordii Fructus Oleum]
Ding Fen (1 qian) [Lead Carbonate Powder]
Castor Bean (100 grains) [Ricini Semen]
First, grind Ding Fen and Castor Beans into a fine powder. Mix with Sesame Oil, heat and stir until uniform and cooked. Then add Tung Oil and mix thoroughly to form an oil preparation. It must be used under strong sunlight to dry quickly and achieve a glossy finish. The rhyme states:
Three parts Tung Oil, four parts Sesame Oil, no need to boil;
One hundred Castor Beans ground finely.
Mix with one qian of Lead Carbonate, shine brightly when exposed to the sun.
Prescription from Elder Langya.
True Sesame Oil (1 bowl)
Strong Soapberry Water (filtered to remove dregs, 1 bowl) [Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus Decoction]
Combine both ingredients. Boil in a porcelain vessel, stirring with a stick. Reduce each bowl to seven-tenths of its volume. Let cool, then use only the clarified liquid; discard the thick residue at the bottom.
Highly effective; stains become like new after repeated use.
White Clay
Black Qian Niu (equal parts) [Pharbitidis Semen Nigrum]
Hua Shi (half amount, equal parts also acceptable) [Talcum]
Grind all into a fine powder. Place one or two sheets of paper, sprinkle a layer of powder on top. Lay the oily garment over the powder, cover with another layer of powder, and place another sheet of paper on top. Iron the paper with a hot iron. After a short while, remove the powder; the oil stain will be gone. If not clean, replace the powder and iron again. The used powder can be reused after being fried in an iron pot. Do not use excessive heat.
According to the Daoist priest of Gaocheng Temple, ink makers wash their hands extremely clean, which is very effective, and this method can also be used for hand washing.
Tea Seeds (i.e., edible tea seeds) [Camellia Sinensis Seed]
Almond (skin and tip removed; if intended to remove writing, press to remove oil) [Prunus Armeniaca Seed]
Use equal parts of these two ingredients. Wash clothes as with soap. To remove writing, place the powder on the characters, lightly iron, and flick off.
Rub the stained area with raw Ginkgo nut meat until penetrated, then rinse thoroughly with hot water. [Ginkgo Biloba Seed]
Select true apricot kernels, crack them to obtain the kernels. Mix with Sichuan Pepper (Hu Jiao) in equal amounts. Pound and grind into a paste. Rub onto the stained area until clean. Sun Yingzhong once wore a new brown Daoist robe. Passing by his uncle's house, he saw a folding stool (Huchuang) in the sun and sat on it, unaware that it had just been repaired with fresh, wet lacquer. Consequently, his entire body became stained. A lacquer worker happened to have previously received this prescription but had not yet tried it. He mixed and applied it. Due to the hasty circumstances in the countryside, the medicinal materials were not of high quality, yet the stains were completely removed, leaving only faint traces. This method may not work if the lacquer has already dried.
