Yong' antang drugstore history
Yong 'antang Drugstore Yong 'antang Drugstore was founded in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 580 years, more than 200 years earlier than Tongrentang. Before speaking of the pharmaceutical industry in old Beijing, it was called' Yong 'an at home and colleagues abroad'. "Foreign colleagues" refers to Tong Ren Tang outside the front door, and "Inner Yong 'an" refers to Yong 'an Hall located at the east and west corners of the East Fourth Pailou in the city at that time.

The owner of Yong 'antang has changed several times in history. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was the name of Dongjiajin Store, an east-west archway. After several generations' efforts, it reached its peak in 1930s, and gradually developed into a pharmacy capable of manufacturing 65,438+06 branches, about 65,438+065,438+000 kinds of Chinese patent medicines, among which Zi Xue Powder, Lingqiao Jiedu Pill and Shenjuexiao Plaster are famous.

Since its establishment, Yong 'antang has always followed the business purpose of "real name symbol, wealth and morality". It pays great attention to pharmacy and deeply studies the pathology and medicinal properties of a disease. The medicinal materials used are specially collected from various provinces and cities, and are made into pills, powders, ointments and pills according to ancient prescriptions and famous doctors' secret recipes, and the first-class ginseng and velvet antler are selected to make the first-class pieces. Yong 'antang has also established its own medicine garden to cultivate all kinds of fresh medicines.

Yong 'antang has exquisite formula, carefully selected medicinal materials, genuine goods and excellent service, which is well received by customers and can last for a long time. At that time, military and political dignitaries and celebrities wrote inscriptions praising Yong 'antang, such as "taking advantage of clouds to benefit the garden", "aiming at the living", "helping the world and prolonging life for the people" and "choosing merits".

After liberation, Yong 'antang was a public-private partnership and became a pharmacy specializing in drugs.

Current Address: No.366 Chaonei Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing

Yong' antang Yong' antang, an old drugstore in 589, served patients for 589 years. Relying on the ancestral motto of "real and vice-named, rich and healthy", it has achieved fruitful results in the prosperity of historical industries and won a good reputation for Beijing. After the founding of New China, especially after the reform and opening up, this old drugstore actually took the lead in entering the ranks of modern chain enterprises in the pharmaceutical industry, and put forward the promise of "truthfulness, integrity, professionalism and service" to fully serve patients.

Speaking of Yong 'antang in Beijing, this is an "old-fashioned" drugstore. Early address: Located at No.215, Neijie Street, Qihuamen (Chaoyangmen), which is the southeast corner of the former Dongsi Pailou. The plaque of "Yong 'antang" and the gold plaque of "gathering clouds" and "refining the moon" are hung in the center of the doorway on two floors, which is obviously solemn. Yong 'antang Pharmaceutical Factory is located at No.243 across the road. It has a three-story courtyard, the front door is in Chaonei Street, and the back door leads to Dongsi Headline. There are knife houses, barrel houses and grinding houses, as well as honey shops and fresh medicine shops. It was also a very powerful pharmaceutical factory in that year. There are 487 kinds of proprietary Chinese medicines 16, and drugs from other factories are not sold. The famous drugs produced by Yong 'antang can really spread, so Beijing's historical industry is at its peak and its goodwill has greatly increased.

According to textual research, the only precious literature and history data at present, that is, the preface to Ginseng, Rongjiao Pill, Powder, Plaster and Danyao in Beiping Yong 'an Hall written by Long Jiazinian (1744), contains that Yong 'an Hall was founded in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty (1403-1). In other words, in the first half of the Ming Dynasty, when Chinese medicine shops were opened everywhere, Yong 'antang was opened in Beijing. Of course, time-honored brands also include time-honored brands of modern new industrial and commercial enterprises. Our time-honored brand in China has five characteristics. The first one is "old", which means a long history, ranging from decades to hundreds of years. Yong' antang has a history of 589 years. In this way, Yong 'antang opened its shop one or two hundred years earlier than its counterparts in Beijing. It can be said to be a well-known time-honored brand.

In this Preface to Yong 'antang Drugstore, it is clearly written at the beginning that the business purpose of Yong 'antang Drugstore is the ancestral motto of "material and reputation are related, and wealth is based on Tao". In short, it is "genuine, childlike innocence". The real kung fu of Yongantang Pharmaceutical lies in its long-term study of pathology, in-depth attack on medicinal properties, and sincere cultivation of various pills, powders, ointments and pills according to the secret recipes of ancient prescriptions and famous teachers; It also has a medicine garden, which cultivates all kinds of fresh medicines and is famous at home and abroad. Speaking of which, who is the founder of Yong 'antang? But no one knows yet, because it is said that the literature and history materials of the Ming and Qing Dynasties have disappeared. Old workers only infer that the original owner is a southerner from the custom of Yong' antang for the New Year (Spring Festival) and the southern ceremony of the old shop. Later, Yong 'antang changed its owner several times. In the early years of the Republic of China, a northerner, Mr. Yang, passed on the ancestral business of Yong 'antang. Yang, male, 1875, from sanhe city, Hebei. He is a well-educated private school. 1892 entered Yong' antang, 1907 served as general manager of Yong' antang, 1942 served as managing director of Beiping Chinese Medicine Workshop and chairman of Beiping Chinese Medicine Association. He is proficient in business and diligent in management, either sitting in the classroom listening or watching in the back hall (pharmaceutical factory). For the processed powder, he can know whether the feeding is wrong by looking at the color; If you taste your tongue, you will know whether it is easy to cut corners and get past the reed. Yang, the old shopkeeper, once wrote: "Producers have great responsibilities, and they are supervised all day long for fear of omission. Although they are tired, they dare to relax a little. "And they are strict with themselves. It is under his strict supervision that all colleagues in the store strictly abide by the rules and regulations of the store and will never be careless. So that this old shop that has gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes has never made mistakes.

At that time, drug addicts, especially expensive drugs, were mostly old palaces and big houses with full wings. After they bought the medicine, they checked it one by one and weighed it one by one. This is never wrong. Yong' antang's "universal ingot" is said to be dedicated to the working people. Genuine goods, good curative effect. This little medicine also led to a true story of that year. Once, Mr. Zhang (nicknamed Zhang Ji) of Lishi Hutong was seriously ill because of his red eyes and congestion. I bought a bag of Viagra tablets in the evening and took the medicine. This Mr. Zhang was quite surprised, so he shopped around and bought a pack of universal films for research. It is found that Yong 'antang's universal tablets are as good in color and efficacy as before after being mixed with fine materials and stored for a long time. The universal tablets of those two companies were coated with fine materials, which not only lost the smell of musk, but also blackened the medicine. The result of Mr. Zhang is: "I will go to Yong' antang after taking medicine. "Over time, Yong 'antang has greatly increased its goodwill after the people passed on to each other. Therefore, the saying "Yong 'an in the inner city, colleagues in the outer city" spread in Beijing that year (note: in the early years, Beijing was divided into inner city and outer city, Yong 'antang in the inner city and Tongren Tongrentang in the outer city).

After the founding of New China, Yong 'antang drugstore still does business according to the old tradition, and still insists on genuine products and does not sell fakes. Therefore, in 1952, after the capitalist industry and commerce launched the "five evils Movement", Yong 'antang was designated as a "completely law-abiding household" among many drug dealers. 1 956 65438+1October1Public-private partnership. According to the unified planning of the city, Chinese patent medicines are planned to be supplied by the state-owned wholesale department. Since then, Yong 'antang has bid farewell to the business model of self-production and self-sales in the front shop and back factory. The public-private partnership has just ended, and the most distressing thing happened in Yong 'antang: It is said that after hundreds of years of efforts, Yong 'antang has studied pathology for a long time, delved deeply into the medicinal properties and secret biography of famous doctors, and accumulated more than 1 100 prescriptions (manuscripts of the Qing Dynasty), which are the essence and wealth of Chinese medicine. But in those days, it was borrowed, circulated and lost. During the Cultural Revolution, the plaque of Yong 'antang written by Zhong Shaoru, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, was demolished. Yong' antang was also changed to "Shuguang Pharmacy". After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, this time-honored brand was restored and Yong 'antang was reborn. In order to adapt to the development and changes of the pharmaceutical market, Yong 'antang was completely renovated and reopened on May 1994. Sun Fuling, Vice Chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Cui Yueli, former Minister of Health, came to congratulate. Minister Cui also wrote an inscription: "Inherit and carry forward the great treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine" to encourage Yong 'antang people.

On 1995, Yong 'antang took the lead in setting up a chain store of Yong 'antang Pharmaceutical Company in the pharmaceutical industry of this city. The first step is to integrate the resources of seven independent accounting self-financing small pharmacies and implement a new attempt of unified procurement, unified distribution, unified management and unified accounting. Second, in June 2002, more than 20 retail pharmacies integrated and established the present "Beijing Yong 'antang Pharmaceutical Chain Co., Ltd.". By the end of 2005, there were 38 direct-operated pharmacies and 15 chain enterprises in the city.

Yong 'antang, the time-honored brand, is also actively building a talent pool within the enterprise while carrying out heavy-handed reforms internally. Every year, a group of young people with professional knowledge of pharmacy are absorbed into pharmacies, injecting new blood into old brands; Conduct all-round and multi-level training for enterprise employees every year, and all of them must pass the examination and hold relevant certificates. In recent years, all employees have further improved their awareness of drug quality by learning pharmacology and medicinal properties. At present, there are licensed pharmacists, pharmacists in charge, licensed pharmacists Yamamoto Jian, pharmacists and other technical personnel * * * 150 people serving on the job. Yong 'antang Chain Company entered the top 50 pharmaceutical retail chains in China in 2002.

"Worthy of the name, wealth lies in the Tao" is the operating ancestral motto of Yong 'antang since its opening 589 years ago. The general idea is: the medicinal materials and medicines handled by this hall are genuine; Strict medical ethics first, then make money. Nowadays, in the face of fierce market competition and the continuous improvement of people's health awareness, we must give it new connotation and make the word "eight" glow with golden light again, explained General Manager Yong 'antang. On the basis of adhering to the traditional business characteristics of time-honored brands, Yong 'antang Chain Company has comprehensively adjusted and enriched its business varieties and service items, and put forward that "truthfulness, integrity, professionalism and service" is Yong 'antang's commitment to customers. That is, genuine goods, complete medicines, characteristic management and all-round service.

Yong 'antang Pharmacy, a traditional operating feature with a history-"sitting doctor", has now been changed into a standardized clinic. Very popular with patients. At present, Yong 'antang Chain Company has more than a dozen clinics such as Anwai, Chaonei and dengshikou pharmacies, and more than 40 specially-appointed famous doctors, experts and doctors take turns to sit in the clinic. These famous doctors and experts have profound medical skills and their own specialties, and they are optimistic about the incurable diseases of many patients. A 57-year-old Ms. Wang said excitedly to the author: 1998 I have renal atrophy and my left kidney has no function. I heard that dr. zhang, a close disciple and professor at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, looked good, so he followed. After only watching it for a little over a year, I can not only do some housework, but also see a doctor myself. Ms. Wang also calculated an account. She said that it costs more than 200 thousand a year to see western medicine, and kidney disease is irreversible. It only costs more than 4,000 yuan a year, especially when Dr. Zhao Shaoqin once said that there is hope for kidney disease. Dr. Li Hong, a researcher at China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in dengshikou Pharmacy, specializes in infertility. He treated the couple's illness based on syndrome differentiation and prescribed the right medicine. In Dr. Li's ward, banners were hung, and 16 couples volunteered to send photos of 16 lively and lovely children under the glass plate.

Another traditional management feature of Yong 'antang drugstore-the specialty of "drug mailing". This business is the service work of Yong 'antang running errands for customers, which is praised by patients from far away. Why can Yong 'antang send its own medicine to the whole country or even overseas? This is because Yong 'antang's "genuine goods, pay attention to credibility" has long been famous in the country. In the early years of the Republic of China, "postal services are the same, saving scholars and buying letters is beneficial." To this end, Yong' antang established the specialty of "mailing drugs". At present, all stores of Yong 'antang chain company have generally carried out mailing business, and some big stores have also set up mailing counters. A case was prepared in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. At present, postal services of stores including Taiwan Province Province have spread all over more than 30 provinces, cities and regions. All prescriptions (faxes) sent from other places are treated as emergency, reviewed by pharmacists, and then transferred to special personnel to take medicine. After checking, the cashier retrieves the remittance, issues an invoice, puts it in the medicine box together with the medicine, and then sends it to the post office for mailing. Save customers running around and have high fares.

Yong 'antang drugstore holds an activity of "sending health to the people" every year according to the seasonal changes and the law of incidence. This year will last for one month from now, which happens to be a good season for "autumn tonic". Nourishing products such as "ginseng, velvet antler, ganoderma lucidum and bird's nest" from famous shops such as Tongrentang, Benxi Longbao Group and Liaoning Luyuan will meet with Beijing citizens in the flagship store of Dongsi Dynasty. It is said that this scale is the first time in Beijing. Ginseng is a rare Chinese herbal medicine which is a specialty of China, and velvet antler is a rare Chinese herbal medicine. These tonic drugs used to be the patent of Wang Fu aristocrats, but now they have entered the homes of ordinary people. Some people only know that eating ginseng and grass is good, but they don't know how to eat it is good for their health. As for the growth and performance of these rare specialties, I don't know.
