The four major pharmaceutical capitals in my country are Bozhou in Anhui, Anguo in Hebei, Zhangshu? in Jiangxi, and Yuzhou in Henan. ?Bozhou, Anhui
Bozhou, located in the northwest of Anhui Province, is known as the "Chinese Medicine Capital". It is the hometown of Hua Tuo, a famous medical scientist in the Han Dynasty. Due to the influence of a generation of famous doctors, Bozhou's medicine has been developed. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Bozhou was one of the four major pharmaceutical capitals in the country. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Bozhou had become a gathering place for drug dealers and medicine stores. It is a "medicine capital" of traditional Chinese medicine with numerous pharmaceutical giants selling more than 2,000 kinds of traditional Chinese medicinal materials. It is not difficult to see that by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the medicine market in Bozhou was already very prosperous. The planting of Chinese medicinal materials in Bozhou is also relatively extensive. Liu Kai, a writer of the Qing Dynasty, wrote in a poem: "The peony flowers outside Xiaohuang City are blooming in the morning glow. There are people in front of and behind the flowers. Every family is planting flowers like mulberry and hemp." It can be seen that under the specific conditions at that time, the development of the pharmaceutical industry mainly relied on the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicines. The development of the pharmaceutical industry promoted the development of the medicinal materials industry. Bozhou has developed into the largest medicinal materials distribution center in the country, with annual sales revenue exceeding 10 billion yuan. In recent years, medicinal materials have become one of Bozhou's four major economic pillars, and it has become the "No. 1 medicinal material city in China".
Bozhou has been known as the "Medicine Capital" since ancient times and is a well-known Chinese herbal medicine planting base in the country. In the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, there are "Bo Shao" and "Bo Ju". ", "Bo Mulberry Bark" and "Bo Pollen", among which white peony root accounts for 60% of the country's total output. There are more than 400 varieties of Chinese medicinal materials planted in the city. There are more than 800 professional Chinese medicinal material planting villages, 8 Chinese medicinal material planting bases, and a medicinal material planting area of ??650,000 acres. Bozhou City has formed the largest industrial cluster of traditional Chinese medicine pieces in the country, and was awarded the "China Traditional Chinese Medicine Pieces Export Base" by the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Medicines and Health Products in 2007. At present, there are 42 Chinese herbal medicine processing and production enterprises in the city, 39 of which have passed GMP certification. Bozhou has built the "China (Bozhou) Traditional Chinese Medicine Trading Center" with the largest scale, best facilities and the highest grade in the country, and has become the largest distribution center for traditional Chinese medicine in the country. The traditional Chinese medicine industry in Bozhou is accelerating development and has formed a relatively complete industry including modern traditional Chinese medicine research and development, traditional Chinese medicine cultivation, processing of traditional Chinese medicine pieces, production of traditional Chinese medicine extracts, traditional Chinese medicine health products, manufacturing of proprietary Chinese medicines and comprehensive supporting services. industrial chain. In 1995, Comrade Jiang Zemin, then President of the People's Republic of China, declared Bozhou Xinran: "The hometown of Hua Tuo, the hometown of medicinal materials." Hebei Anguo
Anguo Pharmaceutical has a long history. Anguo City was called Qizhou in ancient times. The trade of Chinese medicinal materials has a history of thousands of years, which began in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The processing skills of traditional Chinese medicinal materials are exquisite, and it was once famous all over the world as "Qizhou's Four Wonders", and has won the reputation of "the herbs can be used to prepare medicines in Anguo, and the medicines can only be fragrant when they arrive in Qizhou". Anguo’s traditional Chinese medicine culture has a history of nearly a thousand years. Anguo Medicine Market was listed as one of the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage, and Anguo’s modern traditional Chinese medicine industry base was included in the Torch Plan of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Anguo City now has more than 500 varieties of Chinese patent medicines and more than 2,000 operating varieties, covering all parts of the country and more than 20 countries and regions in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia. In 2012, the transaction volume of Anguo's traditional Chinese medicinal materials market is expected to exceed 11 billion yuan, with a throughput of 1.2 million tons. It is the country's largest distribution center and export base for traditional Chinese medicinal materials, with exports accounting for about 80% of the province's total exports of traditional Chinese medicinal materials. Jiangxi Zhangshu
Cinnamomum camphora, one of the pharmaceutical capitals of China, has a long history in the pharmaceutical industry. It is the largest distribution center for medicinal materials in the history of our country, with a history of more than 1,700 years. Since ancient times, there has been a reputation that "the medicine cannot reach the camphor tree, but the medicine cannot cure the camphor tree." Gezao Mountain on the outskirts of the town is a natural medicinal field, stretching for more than 200 miles, with lush vegetation and rich in various medicinal materials, including more than 100 species of animal, plant and mineral medicinal materials. As early as the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoists Zhang Daoling, Ge Xianweng and others practiced here. While they were superstitious and preached to ward off evil spirits, they also collected herbs, made elixirs, and taught methods to cure diseases. Later, Ge Hong, the grandson of Ge family, summarized his medical practice experience and wrote "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions for Emergency Preparedness", which has been passed down to the world. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the camphor tree medicine industry became increasingly developed, and the number of people collecting and selling medicines increased day by day. Pharmacy shops, medicinal material shops, and branch villages gradually emerged and expanded to other provinces.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, a Sanhuang Palace (namely Yaowang Temple) was built here. Every April 28th of the lunar calendar, the birthday of Sun Simiao, a famous doctor of the Tang Dynasty, a trading place was set up next to the temple. Businessmen often gather here to conduct trade. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 200 traditional Chinese medicine shops in Zhangshu. At the same time, drug dealers from other provinces also came here to set up medicine shops, and even a hometown association was established. This gradually turned into a medicinal materials distribution center. There are still many well-preserved alchemy wells, medicine washing pools, ancient temples, medicine temples and other scenic spots in the territory. The Zhangshu people have collected and processed Chinese medicinal materials for generations and have mastered many secret methods. Whether they are frying, soaking, soaking, roasting, baking, drying, cutting and storing, they are all unique. The tablets cut by outstanding pharmacists are "as thin as paper, can be blown, have neat cross-sections and beautiful shapes", and have excellent color, aroma, shape, taste and effect. Zhangshu’s pharmacists, pharmacists, and drug dealers travel to medicinal material producing areas across the country to collect, purchase, and ship high-quality medicinal raw materials for processing, resulting in a complete range of Zhangshu’s medicinal materials with excellent texture. Therefore, camphor tree has become the national center for the production, processing, processing and operation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials. The formation of the "Medicine Capital" is inseparable from its superior geographical conditions and developed waterway transportation. It is also rich in medicinal materials and is skilled in the cultivation, processing, distribution and storage of medicinal materials. There are more than 200 kinds of natural medicinal materials in Gezao Mountain. The famous Chinese and foreign Trifoliate Aurantii kettle and Trifoliate Aurantium foliage are one of the local specialties. The local camphor tree has very strict requirements on the quality of medicinal materials. The medicinal materials must be pure and the processing of the slices must be meticulous.
Nowadays, the "Medicine King Temple Fair" in the past dynasties has developed into an annual national medicinal material exchange conference. Once the invitations are sent out every year, pharmaceutical colleagues from Hong Kong, Singapore and other provinces, autonomous regions and cities across the country flock to the event. At that time, the camphor tree will become the world of medicine and the ocean of medicine. On the vast square outside the east gate of the medicine capital, a magnificent building complex dedicated to trading activities has risen. It covers a total area of ??more than 15,000 square meters and can accommodate more than 10,000 people for trading activities at the same time. Yuzhou, Henan
Yuzhou, Henan, known as the "Chinese Medicine City", is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese medicine. Yuzhou has a long history of planting, collecting and processing traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and is famous for its sophisticated processing and ancient preparations. There is a saying in history that "the medicine in Yuzhou is not fragrant if it is not available, and the medicine is not good if the medicine is not available". Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the miracle doctor Bian Que, the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing, the medicine king Sun Simiao, etc. all practiced medicine and collected herbs in Yu and wrote books. Under their direct influence, Yuzhou's pharmaceutical industry also developed greatly. Starting from the Tang Dynasty, Yuzhou's pharmaceutical market gradually took shape. With the further development and prosperity of the pharmaceutical industry, during the Ming Dynasty, Yuzhou became one of the four major cities in the country. One of the largest medicinal materials distribution centers. In 1996, Yuzhou was designated by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Ministry of Health, and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce as one of the 17 professional traditional Chinese medicine markets in the country, and the only national designated professional market for medicinal materials in Henan Province. In order to further develop the Chinese medicinal materials market and give full play to Yuzhou's unique pharmaceutical advantages, the Yuzhou Municipal Committee decided to build a new Yuzhou "Chinese Medicine City" covering an area of ??300 acres on the east side of Yaocheng Road and the north side of the Commerce World. The medicine city includes a trading hall covering an area of ??30 acres and a construction area of ??21,000 square meters. It is a large-scale modern traditional Chinese medicine professional market.
