Brand Story
Hongguang Baoyuantang, originating from Yunnan, carries a name that means 'radiant light illuminating all, preserving the root of vitality.' Though its exact founding year awaits official verification, local chronicles and oral histories trace its roots to the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty (around 1800 AD), when the Hong family of physicians established the brand. Renowned for classic formulas like Baoyuan Tang (Vitality Soup), the family blended diverse ethnic medical wisdom from Yunnan, creating a unique 'Diannan Medicine' system. In the late Qing and early Republic era, the pharmacy opened in Kunming, earning trust for its authentic ingredients and meticulous preparation. During the War of Resistance, it supplied medicines to the front lines, embodying patriotic spirit. After 1949, the pharmacy underwent public-private partnership, preserving its techniques and secret recipes. Today, Hongguang Baoyuantang continues to innovate while honoring its rich heritage of Yunnan's traditional medicine and its commitment to healing.
