About Tong Ren Tang Day
On the 18th day of the second lunar month in the year 1723 (during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng), the Imperial Medical Bureau official, Liu Shengfang, submitted the memorial to the throne. Emperor Yongzheng approved the supply of medicinal materials from the Tong Ren Tang pharmacy for use in the Imperial Palace. This marked the beginning of a unique 188-year tradition of providing medicinal supplies to the Qing dynasty palace. As a result, the 18th day of the second lunar month was designated as ‘Tong Ren Tang Day’.
