Traditional Chinese medicine is the study of human life and human health formed in ancient Chinese society. It is not just a simple accumulation of prescriptions, medicines, skills and tricks, but a knowledge system related to human life and health. This knowledge system has a profound traditional cultural background. It stands tall in the world of medicine with its unique philosophical thinking, systematic basic theory, rich scientific connotations and distinctive humanistic colors. It is both one of the activated forms of traditional Chinese culture and a huge development space for traditional culture. For example, the way of keeping in good health, the treatment principle of harmony and moderation, the concept of life and death of pure heart, the medical principle of people-oriented, and the industry norms of honesty and integrity are always implemented in all aspects of traditional Chinese medicine theory and practice, becoming the soul of all traditional Chinese medicine figures, works, cultural relics and careers, and also becoming the fine tradition and professionalism that today's traditional Chinese medicine enterprises and institutions are proud of. Heniantang was founded during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It was successively inherited by the world-renowned medical families such as Cao Sasa, Wang Shengyi and Liu Yifeng. It is the oldest existing time-honored brand in the Beijing pharmaceutical industry. Heniantang is the inheritor and promoter of traditional Chinese medicine. For hundreds of years, it has adhered to the concept of "longevity comes first, and curing diseases is the most urgent for health care", and formed the Heniantang Chinese medicine health culture with the cultural connotation of "regulating vital energy and nourishing harmony". It includes the natural longevity concept of "harmony leads to longevity", the cognitive concept of "the law of yin and yang is the basis of life", the holistic concept of "lifelong health care and overall balance", the "natural longevity concept of "life without nourishment, against the body", the "human longevity concept of "life without regulation, the body will naturally weaken", the "regular regulation before illness, regulation before illness, and medical regulation after illness", the "seeking harmony through regulation" method of "regulating before illness, regulating before illness, and regulating after illness", the "seeking harmony through spirit" method of the four-character formula of "temperance, rhythm, spirit, and harmony", and the body nourishment technique, spirit nourishment technique, medicine protection technique, food nourishment technique, massage technique, etc. The traditional preparation technology of Heniantang's medicinal pieces is well-known in Beijing.
