A century-old traditional Chinese medicine brand from Nanchang, Jiangxi, renowned for its exquisite processing techniques and honest business practices, representing the essence of Gan medicine culture.
Brand Story
Huang Qingren Zhan was founded in 1833 during the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty by Huang Qingren in Nanchang, Jiangxi. It started as a small herbal medicine shop and gained fame for its authentic medicinal materials and superior processing. The second-generation heir, Huang Tingzhen, expanded the business, recruited renowned physicians, and developed proprietary remedies, making the pharmacy a leader in Jiangxi's traditional medicine. By the late Qing and early Republic era, it had adopted a 'front shop, back workshop' model, producing its own pills, powders, ointments, and pastes, especially famous for 'Huang's Plaster.' Its business philosophy of 'genuine goods at fair prices, honest with all' won public trust and helped it endure through wars. After the founding of New China, the pharmacy underwent public-private partnership and later transformed into Nanchang Huang Qingren Zhan Pharmaceutical Factory, preserving traditional techniques. Huang Qingren Zhan is not only a living fossil of traditional Chinese medicine culture but also a witness to a century of Jiangxi's commercial and pharmaceutical development. Its name embodies the Confucian merchant spirit of 'benevolence in healing,' profoundly influencing the medical culture of the Ganpo region.
