Brand Story
Cunrentang, originating from Jiangsu, derives its name from the motto 'Cunxin Jishi, Rende Weixian' (Devoted to Healing, Benevolence First). Historical records trace its predecessor to the mid-Qing Dynasty, founded by a philanthropic physician who initially ran a small herbal shop. Adhering to the principle that 'medicine is a benevolent art,' the founder selected premium authentic herbs and followed ancient preparation methods, earning a reputation for efficacy. Through generations of stewardship, Cunrentang grew into a renowned pharmacy in Jiangsu by the Republican era. Beyond dispensing medicines, it also provided free treatment to the poor, winning the hearts of the people. Cunrentang bears witness to the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese medicine in the Jiangnan region, and its unwavering spirit of 'benevolent heart and skillful practice' has become an integral part of China's time-honored brand culture.
