A 6th-century Qimin Yaoshu recipe for zhuo meat. Donkey, horse or pork is cut coarsely, with any bone, mixed with equal parts of salt and qu and half as much 麥䴷, packed into a jar, mud-sealed and set in the sun; it is ripe in 14 days and boiled for daily meals in place of jiang. This entry is a reading of the text, which gives proportions but no fixed amounts.

A 6th-century Qimin Yaoshu recipe for zhuo meat. Donkey, horse or pork is cut coarsely, with any bone, mixed with equal parts of salt and qu and half as much 麥䴷, packed into a jar, mud-sealed and set in the sun; it is ripe in 14 days and boiled for daily meals in place of jiang. This entry is a reading of the text, which gives proportions but no fixed amounts. Made in 4 steps over 14 days. The longest step, mud-seal and set in the sun, takes 14 days (Jia Sixie 2026).
Zhuo meat keeps the meat in coarse pieces, bone and all, rather than chopping it fine as meat jiang does, and it uses as much salt as qu, where meat jiang uses half as much. Its sister recipes in the same chapter keep meat in wine lees, in fat or wrapped in mud.
Lees meat (作糟肉法)Wine lees are mixed with water to a porridge and salted; grilled meat is put in and kept in a shaded room; the text says that in hot months it does not smell for 10 days.
Ao meat (作奧肉法)A fattened pig killed in the 12th month is cut into pieces 5–6 cun square, cooked in water until the water is gone, then simmered half a day in its rendered fat with wine and salt (1 sheng fat, 2 sheng wine, 3 sheng salt) and stored in a jar under the fat; a cooked, fat-sealed meat, not a ferment.
Wrapped meat (苞肉法)Pork killed in the 12th month is wrapped in thatch grass (or rice straw), sealed in thick mud and hung in the north shade; the text says it keeps to the 7th–8th month 'like freshly killed' (ageing, not a ferment).
Safety
The text's own rule: made in the 12th month it has no worms through summer; made in other months it must be covered with care, or worms breed. That rule is not about botulism. Meat mud-sealed tight in a jar gives the low-oxygen conditions C. botulinum needs, WHO names meat products among foods that have carried its toxin, and the text gives salt only as a proportion of the qu, not as a weight or a percentage. The keeping times in the variants are the text's claims, not tested limits. Read this page as history, not as a tested method to copy.
