Illustration of 'salt gall water' (yandan shui) fromShiwubencao(Materia dietetica), a dietetic herbal in four volumes dating from the Ming period (1368-1644).

It contains entries on over 300 medicinal substances and is illustrated by almost 500 paintings in colour.This illustration depicts the procedure for obtaining 'salt gall water' . Salt is first extracted from sea water by heating. The hot salt is then put in a wooden trough with a drain, below which is placed a vessel to catch the dark liquid that runs out of it. This is salt gall water, also known as brine (lushui) - See Image L0039378.The text states: Salt gall water is salty and bitter in sapor, and highly poisonous.
