Brand Story
Founded in 1734 (the 12th year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign) by the renowned physician Lei Dasheng, Lei Yun Shang began as the 'Lei Yun Shang Song Fen Tang' pharmacy in Suzhou. Lei Dasheng, also known as Yun Shang, was a distinguished medical scholar who mastered pharmacology and excelled in crafting pills, powders, and ointments. Adhering to the principles of 'following ancient formulas, using authentic medicinal materials, and meticulous craftsmanship,' he created many effective remedies, the most famous being Liushen Pills. Made from six precious ingredients including bezoar, musk, and toad venom, these pills are highly effective for sore throats, swellings, and skin infections, earning them the title 'National Treasure of Medicine.' Lei Yun Shang not only prioritized quality but also emphasized medical ethics, often providing free medicine to the poor. Located near Changmen in Suzhou, the pharmacy was easily accessible. The brand's success lies in its innovative integration of medicine and pharmacy, profoundly influencing the development of traditional Chinese medicine. Over centuries, Lei Yun Shang has become a shining gem among China's time-honored brands, carrying the rich cultural heritage of the Wu School and embodying the spirit of healing and saving lives.
