The first generation founder of Rentang was called Le Xianyang. Le Xianyang's ancestor was from Ningbo, Zhejiang. Several generations have practiced medicine and sought medical treatment. He is a bell doctor who walks the streets, that is, a quack. Around the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Le's great-grandfather Le moved to Beijing and still served as a doctor in Zhong Kui. Le Liang is a man with a long-term vision. He believes that the only way to gain a foothold in Beijing is to change to orthodox Chinese medicine. In other words, we should not only have rich pharmacological experience, but also master enough Chinese medicine theory.
After several generations' efforts, the music spread to this generation, which coincided with the replacement of Ming and Qing dynasties and great changes have taken place in society. The struggle course of several generations of musicians has also changed. Le Xianyang was clever since childhood. Because I have been in contact with Chinese medicine since I was a child, I have a strong interest in Chinese medicine and read a lot of classic works of Chinese medicine. Coupled with several generations of family practice, I have accumulated very rich medical knowledge and experience. So, by the time he went out to practice medicine with a medicine chest and a hand-cranked bell, he was already a superb clock doctor.
In the fourth year of Kangxi, a great earthquake occurred in Beijing, and many people were injured. One of them, a scholar in the senior high school entrance examination, was badly hurt. He is insane, sometimes happy and sometimes afraid, and he can't control himself. I have found many doctors, and my condition has not been alleviated, but it has become more and more serious. After Le Xianyang's diagnosis and treatment, he was diagnosed that he was too happy to be himself because of high school recommendation. Only when the earthquake scared me did I become crazy. Le Xianyang knew that he was seriously ill and needed immediate treatment, otherwise it would be difficult to cure.
As a result, Le Xianyang decocted medicine every day. After a period of rest, Juren finally recovered. Therefore, Juren enjoyed the music performance very much. Later, a juren studied hard, and after being admitted to the imperial court, he recommended Le Xianyang to the Imperial Hospital. As a result, 55-year-old Le Xianyang was selected by Tai Hospital to become an official in charge of collecting all kinds of ancient recipes, thus ending the bell ringing career of the bell ringer. In terms of rank, this position is just a small official with eight products. However, because Le Xianyang has a deep research on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, he is very considerate when he comes into contact with these precious medical prescriptions, which greatly improves his medical skills.
However, Le Xianyang hates intrigue in officialdom. One year, there was a flood in the suburbs of Beijing, which caused farmers to have no crops and famine everywhere. Emperor Kangxi allocated money and food for disaster relief, and ordered the medical officers and family officers of Taiji Hospital to take care of the victims. During the treatment, Le Xianyang found that when the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and Thai Hospital distributed disaster relief funds and food, they not only sold drugs used for disaster relief to pharmacies, but also exploited disaster relief funds and food for profit. As a result, when the money and food for disaster relief reached the victims, it was less than one tenth of the original.
Le Xianyang shouted loudly, but it was a pity that it was humble and had no effect. After learning from a painful experience, Le Xianyang resigned from his official position and devoted himself to medicine. At first, Le Xianyang only did some things to diagnose diseases and prescribe medicines. Later, he felt that it was not convenient for patients, so after several months of preparation, he finally opened a fully functional pharmacy, which can make pills, powders, creams and pills. This is the predecessor of Tong Ren Tang, which was carried forward by later generations.
Dazhaimen is a popular TV series in the early years. This TV series tells the story of several generations of hundreds of time-honored brands from the late Qing Dynasty to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and it is also a history of the rise and fall of a hundred time-honored brands. The prototype of Baijialaohao is Tongrentang. Although the play is dominated by 12 generation musician Le Jingyu. However, Le Xianyang still appears as a portrait above the ancestral tablet in the play. So, what is the legend of Le Jingyu? This has to start with Le Xianyang's third son, Le Feng Ming.
In the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi, Le Xianyang died of illness shortly after he founded Tong Ren Tang. Le Xianyang's third son, Le Feng Ming, inherited the mantle. He kept in mind his father's motto, "Although the processing is complicated, you will not dare to save labor, although the taste is expensive, you will not dare to reduce materials", and always strive for perfection in pharmacy. At the same time, he also summarized the previous prescriptions and compiled them into Tongrentang Yaomu.
Because there are ancient prescriptions, palace prescriptions and folk prescriptions in the book, it is highly respected by Chinese people. In addition, whenever there are imperial examinations or natural and man-made disasters, Le Feng Ming will give epidemic drugs to alleviate the suffering of the people. Among his many acts of kindness, Tongrentang's reputation soon spread all over the country. In this way, through the efforts of several generations, Tongrentang has come to the generation of Le Jingyu, and it has been recognized as an old-fashioned Chinese medicine.
Le Jingyu was the most stubborn and rebellious when he was a child, so he was the least loved by his family. Even his uncle, Le Puzhai, then a master of Tong Ren Tang, specially reminded him not to touch cursive script, saying that he could not eat that line of food. As a result, the competitive Le Jingyu worked hard to study medicine. He often hangs out with experienced old pharmacists in pharmacies and asks them for advice. After years of hard work, Le Jingyu has become one of the most skilled people in his generation 17. Seeing that Le Jingyu was a great man, Lepuzhai gave him a lot of money and donated an office as a backup platform for Shandong.
At this time, although it was the last year of Qing Dynasty, Le Jingyu listened to the arrangement of Lepuzhai and took office in Shandong. Unexpectedly, Le Jingyu was not outstanding as an official, but his medical skills were highly valued by his superior Yang. It turns out that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to corruption in official administration, not only the uprising continued, but also the powers got their hands on China. Coupled with natural and man-made disasters, unsustainable people can only flee everywhere, and a temporary epidemic ensues. As the governor of Shandong, Yang was anxious.
However, I played several times in the imperial court, but I didn't get the result of treating the victims. So, when he saw Le Jingyu's superb medical skills, he decided to put aside the official line and let him organize the Shandong pharmacy and the general manager, that is, the person in charge. However, Yang Shixian's move was quickly impeached, saying that he had violated the rules and was transferred from Shandong. Seeing that some painstaking efforts would be wasted, Le Jingyu simply raised 2000 taels of silver, took over the pharmacy and changed it into Hongjitang.
