The four major medicine capitals in my country are Bozhou in Anhui, Anguo in Hebei, Zhangshu in Jiangxi, and Yuzhou in Henan.

Bozhou, the capital of medicine, is the largest distribution center and price formation center for traditional Chinese medicinal materials in the world. The Pharmaceutical Capital of China, located in Bozhou in the northwest of Anhui Province, is known as the "Medicine Capital of China" and is the "first of the four major pharmaceutical capitals". Bozhou has a history of 3,700 years of civilization since its capital was established in Tang Dynasty in Shang Dynasty. It is the hometown of Hua Tuo, a famous medical scientist in the Han Dynasty. Due to the influence of a generation of famous doctors, Bozhou has promoted the development of medicine in Bozhou. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Bozhou was one of the four major medical schools in the country. One of the medicine capitals, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Bozhou had become an important "medicine capital" with a large number of medicine dealers, many medicine shops, and a large number of medicine giants selling more than 2,000 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines.

The planting of Chinese medicinal materials in Bozhou is also relatively extensive. Liu Kai, a writer of the Qing Dynasty, wrote in a poem: "The peony flowers outside Xiaohuang City, the morning glow blooms ten miles and five miles away, and there are people in front of and behind the flowers. Planting flowers at home is like mulberry and hemp." It can be seen that under the specific conditions at that time, the development of the pharmaceutical industry mainly relied on the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicines. The development of the pharmaceutical industry promoted the development of the medicinal materials industry. Bozhou has developed into the largest medicinal materials distribution center in the country and has the largest Chinese medicinal materials trading center in my country, with annual sales revenue exceeding 10 billion yuan. Medicinal materials have become one of Bozhou's four major economic pillars, and it has become the "No. 1 city of medicinal materials in China".

The camphor tree, the capital of medicine, is well-known in ancient and modern times, and is famous in China. Zhangshu Pharmaceutical has a long history, spanning more than 1,800 years across dynasties. According to historical records, the camphor tree medicine industry began in the Han and Jin Dynasties, developed in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was called a medicine stall in Wu, a medicine market in the Tang Dynasty, a medicine market in the Song Dynasty, a medicine dock in the Ming Dynasty, and medicinal materials from Sichuan and Guangzhou in the north and south of the Qing Dynasty. It is called a general collection, so since ancient times, there has been a legend that the medicine is not as good as the camphor tree, but the medicine is not effective.

Yuzhou, Henan, known as the "Chinese Medicine City", is also one of the birthplaces of medicine in my country. Yuzhou has a long history of planting, collecting and processing traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and is famous for its sophisticated processing and ancient preparations. There is a saying in history that "the medicine is not fragrant if it is not available in Yuzhou, and the medicine is not good if the medicine is not available". Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the miracle doctor Bian Que, the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing, the medicine king Sun Simiao, etc. all practiced medicine and collected herbs in Yu and wrote books. Under their direct influence, Yuzhou's pharmaceutical industry also developed greatly. Starting from the Tang Dynasty, Yuzhou's pharmaceutical market gradually took shape. With the further development and prosperity of the pharmaceutical industry, during the Ming Dynasty, Yuzhou became one of the four major cities in the country. One of the largest medicinal materials distribution centers. In 1996, Yuzhou was designated by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Ministry of Health, and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce as one of the 17 professional traditional Chinese medicine markets in the country, and the only national designated professional market for medicinal materials in Henan Province.

Longxi, Gansu Province has always been well-known throughout the country as a medicine capital. It is known as "the medicine warehouse of the world and the medicine capital of the northwest". The development of medicinal materials has a long history. In the spring of March, the fields and farmers' markets in Longxi County are busy everywhere. There are baskets of high-quality Chinese herbal medicine seedlings, faces full of smiles, and the voices of bargaining are louder and louder. Everywhere is filled with harvest. of joy. The above is an introduction to the four major pharmaceutical cities.
