Hu Qing Yu Tang
Đợt 1Hu Qing Yu Tang was founded in 1874 by the famed merchant Hu Xueyan in Hangzhou's Qinghefang quarter. Known as the "Medicine King of Jiangnan," it stands alongside Beijing's Tongrentang as one of China's two great pharmacies.
Hu Xueyan personally inscribed the "forbid deception" plaque, urging that ingredients be genuine and preparation exacting—making the house a byword for integrity in Chinese medicine for over a century.
It inherited the pharmaceutical techniques and trade rules of the Song-dynasty official formulary Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang, preparing pills, powders, pastes and elixirs by rigorous traditional methods.
A China Time-honored Brand; its Chinese-medicine culture is on the first national intangible heritage list, and its historic halls are a Major National Cultural Relic site.
