Historical origin
According to research, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a court physician who was dissatisfied with the tyranny of the court and fled to Zhangzhou with the secret recipe of Pien Tze Huang. He lived in seclusion in Pushanyan Temple and got a haircut and became a monk. According to the secret recipe of the court, the monks from the imperial doctor refined the first-class Chinese herbal medicines such as musk, bezoar, notoginseng and snake gall into tablets, which were specially used to treat the swelling and pain caused by heat toxicity, and could be used for both internal and external use.
At that time, there were many sick people nearby, and monks treated them extensively, and the secret recipe of the imperial court took root and sprouted. At that time, Pien Tze Huang slices were taken alone, one at a time, which was commonly known as "Pien Tze Huang". As a result, Pien Tze Huang is known as "the holy medicine of Buddhism".
Before he died, the monk taught the abbot the secret recipe and production technology and told him to spread it inside and outside. Since then, Pien Tze Huang has been handed down from generation to generation in the temple, and the secret has not been leaked, which has become the "treasure in the temple" of Pushanyan Temple.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the incense of Pushanyan Temple gradually fell into disrepute, and the last abbot was vulgar, so he continued to sell Pien Tze Huang in Xinyuan Tea House outside the East Gate of Zhangzhou. As a result, Pien Tze Huang was introduced to the people from Buddhism. Its unique curative effect is highly praised by the people and regarded as "the treasure of town house" by the old customs in southern Fujian. Local people have the habit of sending Pien Tze Huang when visiting their elders and relatives, and the influx of overseas Chinese into Nanyang has saved countless lives and won rave reviews, enjoying a high status in Southeast Asia.
From 65438 to 0956 after the founding of New China, the government carried out socialist transformation of private industry and commerce, and Xinyuan Tea House and Tongshantang and other pharmacies jointly established a public-private pharmaceutical factory. 1957 65438+February, Tongshantang United Pharmaceutical Factory merged with the public-private joint venture Cunheng United Shenxie Factory, and was renamed as the public-private joint venture Zhangzhou Pharmaceutical Factory, with Pien Tze Huang as the leading product of Zhangzhou Pharmaceutical Factory.
After decades of pioneering work by Pien Tze Huang, the enterprise has grown from small to large and from weak to strong. 65438-0993, Zhangzhou Pien Tze Huang Group Company was established with Zhangzhou Pharmaceutical Factory as the core enterprise. 199965438+February, Zhangzhou Pien Tze Huang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. was founded with Zhangzhou Pien Tze Huang Group as the main sponsor and other legal entities.
