[Edit this paragraph] Pharmaceutical National Treasure
The history of red-top businessman Hu Xueyan and his "Hu Qingyutang" has become well-known and familiar. In the 13th year of Tongzhi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, at the foot of Mount Wu in the imperial city, Hu Xueyan spent a huge amount of money to open a pharmaceutical institution, Hu Qingyutang Pharmacy, similar to Taiping Huiminhe Pharmacy in the Southern Song Dynasty, and inherited a large number of traditional prescriptions contained in the bureau's prescriptions. Later, Hu Xueyan went bankrupt overnight, and all the banks and industries collapsed. Only Hu Qingyutang was able to stand out and make his name famous for future generations. This is not only full of philosophy, but also contains countless good stories about meticulous medicine, such as the golden spatula and the silver pot. The origin of is one of them.
The gold spatula and silver pot of Hu Qingyutang Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum in Hangzhou
The gold spatula and silver pot of Hu Qingyutang
A treasure of Chinese medicine and a national first-class cultural relic, it is known as The first national treasure of China Pharmaceutical Industry.
History: One of the so-called three treasures for febrile diseases, "Burn Prescription Zijin Dan" (the other two are Angong Niuhuang Wan and Niuhuang Zhibao Dan), was created by Hu Xueyan when he founded Hu Qingyutang to inherit the Southern Song Dynasty's "Taiping Huiminhe" It is an important drug of the Pharmaceutical Administration (the earliest national pharmaceutical regulatory agency in China). It has strict processing requirements and complicated processes. During the operation, there was "sand" in it, which was prone to chemical reactions with copper and iron. In order to ensure that the efficacy of the medicine was not lost, Hu Xueyan spared no expense, consuming 133 grams of gold and 1,835 grams of silver to create such an expensive pharmaceutical product as a gold spatula and a silver pot. Tools embody the spirit of "refinement and excellence".
Development: In the introduction of the prescription Zixuedan in "The Complete Works of Zhehang Hu Qingyutang Xueji Pills", it says: "Symptoms of typhoid fever and warm heat have similar appearances, but there are actually different ones, such as irritability and fever. Yang screams away, poisonous miasma causes coma, swells and cuts and pains, all insect poisons, drug poisons, epilepsy, acne in children, internal obstruction of fire poisons, etc. This elixir can purge the fire of all meridians, nourish the kidney water, and relieve the fire. The effect of diarrhea and knots is self-dissolving, and the effect is immediately visible after taking it." The efficacy of the medicine has been significantly improved, but the price of the medicine has remained unchanged, and Hu Qingyutang's reputation has become better and better.
The golden spatula and silver pot represent Hu Qingyutang’s century-old pharmaceutical inheritance. Since Hu Qingyutang merged into Qingchunbao Group, this pharmaceutical realm has been upheld by Qingchunbao people. The most traditional and core brand concept of Qingchunbao is the word "integrity". As the saying goes, "No one knows the harmony, but God knows the sincerity." Hu Qingyutang, founded by Hu Xueyan at that time, did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to make a gold spatula and a silver pot in order to make the "Purple Snow Pill". Nowadays, "Youth Treasure" has long been famous, but it is even more careful and spares no effort in protecting the brand. Last year, Qingchunbao recalled more than 1,000 boxes of Qingchunbao anti-aging tablets. The purpose was to replace the outer packaging of the product with printed labels. The huge recall cost was spent just to correct an inconsequential error, but it fully reflected the Chunqingbao people's inheritance of Hu Qingyutang's century-old pharmaceutical tradition of "being prudent in procurement and meticulous in repair and management".
