Brand Story
Originating in Wuhan, Hubei, Jianmin traces its roots to Ye Kaitai Pharmacy, founded in 1637 during the Ming Dynasty. Ye Kaitai, alongside Beijing Tongrentang, Hangzhou Huqingyutang, and Guangzhou Chen Liji, was one of China's four great pharmacies, adhering to the creed, 'Though no one sees the preparation, heaven knows our integrity.' The pharmacy selected authentic herbs and followed ancient processing methods. In 1953, Ye Kaitai was restructured into Wuhan Jianmin Pharmaceutical Factory, later evolving into Jianmin Pharmaceutical Group. Inheriting Ye Kaitai's spirit of 'inclusiveness and excellence,' the brand integrates modern technology to advance TCM modernization. Jianmin preserves traditional formulations while innovating pediatric medicines, becoming a leading name in children's healthcare. Its cultural significance lies in witnessing the transformation of Chinese medicine from traditional shops to modern enterprises, representing Jingchu's TCM culture.
