So that the left seedlings have a certain space between each other, when most of the seedlings grow out of 3 or more leaves, they can be transplanted.

Li Shizhen once described: "cinnabar roots grow deep in the mountains, the seedlings are about a foot high, the leaves are like holly, the back of the leaves are red, the summer is luxuriant, and the roots are as big as tendons and red, which is like a hundred taels of gold."
