Ngokutsho kwe "Compendium of Materia Medica for Dietary Therapy," ingcambu yelotus yayisele igaywe ibe ngumgubo ukuze isetyenziswe. Ngobukhosi beNgoma, kunye nenkqubela phambili yetekhnoloji yezolimo kunye nokukhula ngokubanzi kweengcambu zelotus, isitashi sengcambu yelotus savela ngokuthe ngcembe ukusuka kunyango lwesintu ukuya kwirhafu yasebukhosini. "I-Dongjing Menghualu" iqulethe iinkcazo ezineenkcukacha zesobho ye-lotus yestatshi ethengiswa kwiitiya e-Bianliang, ebonisa ukuthandwa kwayo ngexesha loMkhosi weNgoma yaseMantla.
I-Ming kunye ne-Qing dynasties yayingamaxesha abalulekileyo kuphuhliso lwe-lotus root process yestatshi.

Amakhitshi obukumkani beQing Dynasty ahambele phambili kwimveliso yesitatshi yelotus ukuya kwimida yawo, aphuhlisa ubuchule bemveli "ezintathu{2}}zokomisa kunye{3}}nezintathu{3}}zokomisa", ukufikelela kwikristale{4}}ecacileyo, nesetyenzwa lula isitatshi selotus. Ngenxa yeengcambu zabo ezininzi zelotus, iSuzhou, iHangzhou, kunye neminye imimandla ngokuthe ngcembe yavelisa izikolo ezikhethekileyo zemveliso yesitatshi selotus. I-West Lake lotus ingcambu yesitatshi yade yadweliswa njengerhafu ngexesha lolawulo lwe-Qianlong.
Imveliso yesitatshi yengcambu yelotus ifuna ngaphezulu kwamanyathelo alishumi, kubandakanywa ukukhetha iingcambu zelotus, ukucofa, ukuhlalisa, kunye nomoya. -Umgangatho ophezulu westatshi yengcambu yelotus yenziwe kwiingcambu ezindala ezivunwa ngexesha lasebusika. Emva kokucwiliswa emanzini acocekileyo ukususa i-astringency, iphinda igutywe kusetyenziswa ilitye lokusila ukufumana i-pulp, ethi ke ihluzwe kwaye ihlaliswe amaxesha amaninzi ukufumana isitashi sengcambu yelotus ecocekileyo.
