During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the county magistrate Yang Jin, because of his filial piety to his mother, Known as "Yang Xiaolian". He lost his father when he was young, and his mother suffered from weak lungs and cough due to long-term hard work, which could not be cured.

The filial son Yang Xiaolian was very anxious and went around looking for famous doctors to treat his mother's illness. Finally, he got a prescription of honey-flavored Sichuan clam loquat plaster from the miracle doctor Ye Tianshi, which cured his mother's illness. When Yang's mother passed away at the age of 84, she told her son before her death to use Sichuan Fritillaria loquat ointment made with honey to benefit the world and make more people healthy and live longer.

To commemorate the kindness of his mother and Ye Tianshi, Yang Xiaolian named the loquat paste "Nian Ci'an" and drew the "Filial Piety Picture" trademark to urge future generations not to lose the traditional virtue of filial piety to their parents.

Nianji'an Chuanbei Loquat Cream has been well received by the public since its launch. For this reason, the descendants of the Yang family set up a factory in Beijing for production and added the word "Kyoto" in front of "Nianji'an". Since then, it has been named "Kyoto Nenjian Honey Refined Sichuan Shell Loquat Paste".
