Hu Xueyan originally wanted to be named Qing Yu Hall, but Qin Gui used Qing Yu Hall, so it was changed to Qingyu Hall. It is the best-preserved brand of traditional Chinese medicine in China, and also the best-preserved Huizhou-style commercial ancient building in Qing Dynasty. Hu Qingyutang, a famous red-topped businessman in Hu Xueyan in the late Qing Dynasty, copied the quadrangle style in Jiangnan for 302,000 yuan. The whole building is like a crane parked at the foot of Wu Shan. Hu Qingyutang accepted the traditional prescriptions of famous doctors and carefully prepared Qingyu Pill, Powder, Plaster, Dan and Jishining.
In 1970s, it is said that the last pharmacist of Hu Qingyutang introduced a popular health care product "Youth Treasure", which was only 14 years old when it was liberated. In the commodity age, a spring rain created Hu Qingyutang's new life overnight.
At present, Huqingyutang Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the only national museum of traditional Chinese medicine in China, which was founded on the basis of Huqingyutang ancient buildings. Visitors can not only see the essence of China's medical treasure house, but also enjoy the ancient buildings of Huqingyutang.
The building area of the Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine is more than 4,000 square meters, which consists of five parts: exhibition hall, traditional Chinese medicine manual workshop hall, health clinic, business hall and medicinal food restaurant. In the exhibition hall, you can learn about the development history of China medicine and anecdotes of famous people such as Hua Tuo, Bian Que and Li Shizhen from a large number of introductions and treasures. While appreciating all kinds of precious medical cultural relics existing in Huqingyutang, we can also appreciate the elegant demeanour of famous Chinese patent medicine factories in China.
In the workshop hall, experienced old pharmacists will bring wonderful live hand-made and Chinese herbal medicine slicing performances to the audience. If visitors want to try it themselves after watching it, they can use traditional hand tools in the "interest room" to experience the ancient pharmaceutical technology and have fun. There is also a Chinese medicine health clinic in the museum. By then, famous Chinese medicine practitioners with unique skills will provide various medical and health care services for tourists.
The business hall is a window for Hu Qingyutang to open to the outside world, and it is also a place for tourists to buy medicines provided by the Chinese Medicine Museum. Visitors can buy authentic Chinese herbal medicines from all over the country, all kinds of high-quality Chinese patent medicine products produced by Hu Qingyutang and famous, special and excellent products from major Chinese medicine factories all over the country.
Medicinal food restaurant is an organic part of Chinese medicine museum. It takes the efficacy of Chinese medicine, takes the flavor of Chinese food, and combines the world-famous Chinese food with Chinese medicine science, so that people can enjoy the pleasure of preventing diseases, strengthening body and prolonging life while enjoying delicious food.
