Shiyitang, a time-honored pharmaceutical brand from Heilongjiang, is renowned for its authentic medicinal herbs and exquisite craftsmanship, carrying forward a century of traditional Chinese medicine culture.
Brand Story
Founded in the late Qing Dynasty, Shiyitang's exact founding year remains to be verified. Legend has it that its founder, whose name is yet to be confirmed, practiced medicine in Heilongjiang and, inspired by the region's abundant medicinal resources, opened a pharmacy named 'Shiyitang', meaning 'one hall for generations to heal and save'. The pharmacy focused on authentic herbs and self-made Chinese patent medicines, earning a solid reputation through honest business and notable efficacy. By the Republican era, Shiyitang had grown considerably, adhering to 'ancient methods of processing' and excelling in the production of pills, powders, ointments, and pellets. After the founding of New China, Shiyitang underwent public-private partnership, becoming a state-owned enterprise that preserved traditional techniques while integrating modern management. Shiyitang not only carries the historical memory of Heilongjiang's TCM development but also embodies the unique culture of the northern medicine guild, serving as a microcosm of TCM's inheritance and growth in border regions.
