Tongrentang is one of the pharmaceutical companies. What is the relationship between Tongrentang in Nanjing and Beijing? There is Tongrentang in Nanjing, but Nanjing Tongrentang and Beijing Tongrentang are not the same family now. Historically (ancestrally) they were the same family, but later they separated due to historical reasons and other factors. In fact, Nanjing Tongrentang has chosen to reorganize its brand in 2008 and fully launch the "Lejia Old Store", ending the "North-South" dispute of the Tongrentang brand. Nanjing Tongrentang opened the "Lejia Old Store", which was named after Le Zunyu, the founder of "Tongrentang". Ding Fengjun, chairman of Nanjing Tongrentang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., said that the company was formerly known as the Nanjing branch of Peking Tongrentang Kyoto Lejia, which was founded in 1926.
They are not the same company. They are all authorized by the original people when Nanjing Tongrentang was a joint-stock pharmaceutical company. They are not the authentic Nanjing Tongrentang. The official website has the corporate statement of Nanjing Tongrentang, such as Zhenshoula, Gu Xiaobao and Generation Queen are infringing products promoted under the banner of Nanjing Tongrentang. There are so many scammers nowadays, and many people have been fooled. Not only Nanjing Tongrentang, shopping platforms are also flooded with many counterfeit Beijing Tongrentang products, such as Qizi powder. If calculated based on the cost of raw materials, 200 yuan for Qizi powder is not enough for thirty or forty yuan. Among them, Bletilla striata even if it is not from Tongrentang. Even 30 grams of Bletilla striata from an ordinary slice company costs dozens of yuan. Could it be that Tong Ren Tang lost money selling it.
As for the history of Tong Ren Tang, the Tong Ren Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine Refining Factory was formally established in 1957, pioneering the Western production of traditional Chinese medicine. In 1979, the Tong Ren Tang factory and store brands were restored. In May 2000, Beijing Tongrentang Technology Development Co., Ltd. was established. In October of the same year, it was listed on the Hong Kong GEM, achieving the first successful listing of A-share spin-off in China. In the same May, Tongrentang Malhai Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was established and started. A preliminary exploration into the field of bioengineering.
Tongrentang Pharmacy began in 1669, the eighth year of Emperor Kangxi’s reign in the Qing Dynasty. Le Xianyang of the Le family founded Tongrentang Pharmacy. After 347 years of inheritance and development, Tongrentang has become a banner of traditional Chinese medicine, representing China's excellent traditional culture, and a model of quality and conscience in the hearts of the people. Currently, there are many companies on the market that call themselves Tongrentang, or companies that claim to have historical connections with Tongrentang. Most of them are deceiving and making profits based on the golden signboard of "Tongrentang" and are fake "Li Gui", but some companies are really It is "related" to Tongrentang and can be called "such and such Tongrentang" without being sued for infringement by Tongrentang.
In fact, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Le family multiplied into four major branches, namely the four brothers Le Mengfan, Le Zhongfan, Le Shufan, and Le Jifan. Tongrentang is jointly managed by these four branches, and each branch is stipulated to receive 10,000 taels of silver from Tongrentang every year. In addition, they are also allowed to consign their own pills, powders, ointments, elixirs and other medicines in Tongrentang. At that time, most of the employees in the Tongrentang store were relatives or friends.
