The golden signboard of Guangzhou Chen Liji Pharmaceutical Factory.

Chen Liji was founded in a.d. 1600 (twenty-seven years of Wanli in Ming dynasty), with a history of more than 400 years. Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty took his "Zhuifeng Suhe Pill", which was called miraculous. Therefore, Chen Liji, Guangdong Province, with the name of "Xinghetang" as its business name, was renamed as manic south and north. During Guangxu period, Weng Tonghe, the "Imperial Master", wrote the name "Chen Liji" for him, and three gold-plated characters still exist today. Chen Yongjuan, a descendant of Chen Liji, said, "Chen Liji was founded in 1600. In addition to historical materials, there is also my family tree as evidence. From Taigong Chen Tiquan to my eleventh generation, it has been recorded from generation to generation, and Taigong Cemetery is still in the South China Sea. "

Chen Liji is indeed a famous brand in China, which was founded in the Ming Dynasty, flourished in the Qing Dynasty, existed in the Republic of China and still exists in this world. Historically, it is the representative of Nanyao, and it stands in a tripartite confrontation with Beijing Tongrentang and Hangzhou Huqingyutang. The history of Chen Liji is 69 years earlier than Tongrentang and 274 years earlier than Huqingyu Hall. Although there are many Chinese medicine shops all over the country, the Pearl of the Sea and Chen Liji are undoubtedly priceless treasures left by the Chinese nation.

We turn a page of history and go back 22 years with the coordinates of 1600. (1578) Compendium of Materia Medica of Li Shizhen Pharmacopoeia of Traditional Chinese Medicine came out. Twenty-eight years ago, that is, five years in Qin Long, Chinese medicine invented "human pox inoculation", which bravely took the first step of victory in the face of the most ferocious smallpox plague in the world. Under the background of unprecedented prosperity of traditional Chinese medicine, Chen Liji, a Chinese patent medicine enterprise, came into being, which is characterized by modern enterprise shareholding system and aims at saving the world wholeheartedly. Over the next 400 years, Chen Liji has developed and produced dozens of Chinese patent medicines, including ointment, pills, powder, tea, wine and so on, on the basis of inheriting ancient prescriptions, and sold them all over the country and as far away as Southeast Asian countries. The spirit of drug efficacy and the essence of products are well known in Chen Liji. Every autumn exam, candidates jump into Beijing and try their best. Because they came all the way to Beijing to catch the exam, it is inevitable that they will be attacked by some cold and acclimatized. Chen Liji wrapped a pill in red paper and wrote a song to send it out, winning the reputation of "Guangyao". It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi took Chen Liji's "Wuji Baifeng Pill" for a long time, and her appearance is still old and enduring.

For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has been the patron saint of our national health, protecting the prosperity of our nation. Today, hundreds of years later, when people re-examine Chen Liji, a precious and rare intangible heritage of human civilization, we can't help but express our deep gratitude for it.
