At that time, sesame oil was used as lighting fuel, which was made by pressing sesame seeds with stone mortar method or wood pressing method. Zhang Hua, a native of A Jin, recorded in the Natural History that "frying sesame oil makes water smokeless, but when it no longer boils, it is still cold". And the method of making douchi with sesame oil ... Steaming with sesame oil and stopping the violence in three episodes "is the earliest sesame oil cultural record. It has been 1600 years. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, sesame oil was widely used in catering. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, sesame oil was considered as the best edible vegetable oil and was widely used.
