Introduction to traditional Chinese medicine culture (Jiuzhitang traditional Chinese Medicine Culture)

Applicant: Hunan Jiuzhitang Co., Ltd

Traditional Chinese medicine is the study of human life and human health formed in ancient Chinese society. It is not only a simple accumulation of one prescription, one medicine, one skill, but also a knowledge system related to human life and health. This knowledge system has a profound traditional cultural background. With its unique philosophical thinking, systematic basic theory, rich scientific connotation and distinctive humanistic color, it stands in the world of medicine. It is not only one of the activation forms of Chinese traditional culture, but also a huge space for the development of traditional culture. For example, the way of tranquility and truth, the treatment rule of Chong and the mean, the life concept of pure heart, the medical principle of people-oriented, and the industry standard of integrity and no deception are always implemented in all aspects of the theory and practice of traditional Chinese medicine. They have become the soul of all figures, works, literature and undertakings of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the proud fine tradition and dedication of today's traditional Chinese medicine enterprises Spirit.

In 1650, Lao Cheng founded Jiuzhitang in Pozi street, Changsha, Hunan Province. In the early days of its establishment, Lao Cheng imitated Shennong's practice of testing medicine in person, and established the rule that "I must taste my medicine first", which laid the initial model for Jiuzhitang's traditional Chinese medicine culture.

In the later development process, Jiuzhitang carried forward the spirit of "daring to be the first" and "managing the world for practical use" in Huxiang culture, inherited the traditional essence of Huxiang traditional Chinese medicine culture of "hanging pot to help the world and benefiting the people", combined the traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical technology with the local water and soil environment in Hunan, and formed the unique humanistic spirit of "medicine should pay all the efforts, doctors should ask their conscience" Spirit. It has been passed down from generation to generation that this precept has become the code of conduct of Jiuzhitang people and a part of traditional Chinese medicine culture.

Jiuzhitang improved and improved the traditional Chinese medicine processing technology and traditional preparation technology (including exclusive prescription and unique Chinese medicine processing technology), representing the high standard and level of traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical technology and method in Hunan.

Jiuzhitang's business philosophy of "helping the poor, benefiting the same industry", "helping others in danger", "focusing on quality, honesty", "nine points of sentiment, one point of profit" plays an important role in promoting the development of the pharmaceutical industry.

In recent years, the development of traditional Chinese medicine has been impacted by western medicine. Carrying forward the traditional Chinese medicine culture of Jiuzhitang plays an important role in promoting the excellent traditional Chinese medicine culture of the motherland.
