Time-Honored BrandShuangqian · Guangxi · Founded
Shuangqian is a traditional Guangxi brand renowned for its herbal jelly (guilinggao) and other health foods. Rooted in local dietary culture, it embodies the wisdom of 'medicine and food homology' and has been a beloved name since the Qing Dynasty.
Brand Story
Shuangqian originates from Wuzhou, Guangxi, with a history tracing back to the Qing Dynasty (around the 19th century). According to local records, Wuzhou's humid and rainy climate led to a folk custom of brewing herbal jelly (guilinggao) from turtle shell and Smilax glabra to clear heat and dispel dampness. By the late Qing and early Republic period, street vendors sold guilinggao, with 'Shuangqian' becoming the most renowned for its meticulous preparation and quality ingredients. In the mid-20th century, the brand was officially registered, becoming a representative of Guangxi's food industry. The name 'Shuangqian' means 'double completeness,' symbolizing health and wealth, reflecting traditional auspicious culture. Shuangqian guilinggao combines traditional techniques with modern technology, preserving the essence of Lingnan medicinal cuisine and earning a reputation both domestically and internationally.
