Wang Lao Ji herbal tea is a wonderful flower in Lingnan herbal tea culture. It accompanied Hong Xiuquan's uprising in Jintian Village, and later crossed the ocean with Qian Qian's Old Tune, which swept five continents and entered the lives of thousands of families.

The legend of Wang Laoji herbal tea tells that a plague prevailed in a certain year in history. Wang Laoji went up the mountain to avoid the plague, got a long biography and created medicinal tea. After boiling water, he keeps fit and keeps fit. Later, Wang Laoji made the prescription public, and his reputation spread far and wide. However, legend belongs to legend. According to research, the real inventor of Wang Laoji herbal tea is actually a Jiangmen native named Wang Zebang, whose ancestral home is Gulao Town, Heshan City.

In the legendary history of Wang Laoji 170 years, it is rumored that Empress Dowager Cixi relied on Wang Laoji herbal tea to solve doubts and control the country. Hong Xiuquan saved his life by Wang Laoji herbal tea when he went to Guangzhou to catch the exam. When Lin Zexu destroyed opium in Humen, he used Wang Laoji herbal tea to help clear away heat and detoxify. He also sent someone to give Wang Zebang a big copper pot engraved with the words "Wang Lao Ji" as a gift. Whether these rumors are true or not is difficult for later generations to verify, but the words Wang Laoji have really become a golden signboard.

After Wang Laoji's descendants came to Hong Kong for development, they registered the trademark of "Wang Laoji" at the end of19th, which was a pioneer for China businessmen to register their trademarks in Hong Kong. Now, the descendants of Wang Laoji still operate pharmaceutical factories and herbal tea stores in Hong Kong, while Guangzhou Yangcheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. operates this century-old brand in the Mainland. Its products sell well at home and abroad, and where there are China people, there is "Wang Lao Ji".

Wang Laoji's ancestral home is in Shangsheng Village, Gulao Town, which is a typical Lingnan water town. There are ponds everywhere in the village, and only a dozen families live by the pond. Wang Lao Ji's ancestral home is near a small pond. His ancestral home is not big. It is an ordinary Qing dynasty building, and the red pattern under the eaves is still clear. There used to be two rooms in the ancestral home, but now there is only one room left, and the other room was demolished and occupied by the villagers when they built a new house.

It is reported that the relevant parties in Gulao Town have incorporated the ancestral home of Wang Laoji into the tourism protection system of the water town, and its first batch of tourists will soon be ushered in here.
