Introduction to Hu qingyutang's traditional Chinese medicine culture:

Applicant: Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province

"Jiangnan medicine king" Hu qingyutang is a medicine shop founded by "Hongding merchant" Hu Xueyan in 1874 (the 13th year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty), located in Qinghefang, Hangzhou. From Lin'an (now Hangzhou), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Qinghefang formed a long corridor of "medicine shops". Among them, Baohetang in the Southern Song Dynasty and Zhu Yangxin ointment drugstore in the Ming Dynasty; Hu Qingyu hall, ye Zhongde hall and Fang Huichun hall in the late Qing Dynasty. Hu qingyutang fully inherited the pharmaceutical technology and industry standard of "Taiping Huimin Heji kufang" formulated by the Southern Song Dynasty. In this sense, Hangzhou is the birthplace of "ancient Chinese medicine Pharmacopoeia", and Hu qingyutang inherits this good tradition.

Hu Qingyu hall has a rich content of traditional business customs.

"Abstain from deception" culture. "Don't cheat" is Hu qingyutang's shop motto, written by Hu Xueyan himself. For more than one hundred and thirty years, Hu qingyutang has always abided by the principle of "abstaining from deception", adhering to traditional Chinese ethics and traditional Chinese medicine culture, and formed a business philosophy and shop rules with the connotation of "abstaining from deception". This concept has the characteristics of transcending the enterprise level and advocating social morality.

Hu Qingyu hall has preserved a number of folk ancient and secret recipes. The old pharmacists with unique skills in the enterprise and proficient in traditional Chinese medicine craftsmanship are still alive today, which are the great wealth of the society.

Due to the influence of modern technology, climate change, environmental pollution and the impact of strong culture, Hu qingyutang's tradition is under threat, and some even endangered. To this end, Hu qingyutang invested a certain amount of manpower and material resources to formulate a practical protection plan.
