Nanjing Tongrentang chose to reorganize its brand in 2008, and launched the "Le Jia Old Shop" in an all-round way, ending the "North-South" dispute of Tongrentang brand. Nanjing Tongrentang opened the "Le Jia Old Shop", which was taken from Le Zunyu, the founder of Tongrentang.
Ding, chairman of Nanjing Tongrentang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., said that the company's predecessor was Beijing Tongrentang Kyoto old shop Nanjing branch, which was founded in 1926.
Origin of Tongrentang name:
Origin: The name of Tong Ren Tang was personally drawn up by the founder Le Xianyang. The word "Tong Ren Tang" comes from the Book of Changes, which means: "No matter how far or near, treat everyone equally." This sentence means to live in harmony with others, be broad-minded, selfless, and adapt to the times, which means that no matter how far or near, they are treated equally. Le Xianyang believes that "the doctor, who can preserve health and help the world, is the most important." The word "colleague" can be named after Tang. I like it open and elegant, so I need to be ambitious.
There is also a saying about the origin of Tongrentang's name that young Kangxi suffered from a strange disease, with a rash all over his body and unbearable itching. The imperial doctors in the palace are very helpless. Kangxi was depressed and went out to the palace for fun. He strolled into a small drugstore, where the doctor prescribed only cheap rhubarb and told him to take a bath with clean water. Kangxi took a bath as instructed, but recovered quickly after three days.
In order to thank the doctor, Kangxi wrote "Fellow practitioners are kind and help the world keep healthy" and gave him a big pharmacy named "Tong Ren Tang".
