Yetongren Tang
Wenzhou Yetongren Tang drug store was established in the ninth year (AD 1670) of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (AD1636-AD 1912). It is quite famous in the north of Fujian Province and the south of Zhejiang Province. It was once selected as one of China's 100-year-old pharmacies. In 1956, the drug store was changed to Wenzhou Sinopharm Joint Pharmaceutical Factory through the public-private partnership, which made the name "Yetongren Tang" no longer used. In 1965, it was renamed as Wenzhou Pharmaceutical Factory. In 2002, Wenzhou Haihe Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. registered the "Yetongren" trademark with the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the People's Republic of China. However, due to the consideration that the word "Tang" was an alternative name for the store, so the company name "Yetongren" was followed by the word "Tang".
“Xianqian” Glue Pudding Shop
The "Xianqian" glue pudding shop was formerly called as "Zheng Deda" glue pudding shop, which was the first glue pudding shop in Wenzhou and opened during the reign of Emperor Xianfeng period(AD1831-AD1861) of the Qing Dynasty (AD1636-AD 1912) . There were two glue pudding shops "Huang Xinfa" and "Zhiweiyuan" set up in the county during the period from 1928 to 1938. These three glue pudding shops had their own characteristics. Among them, the taste of fresh-meat glue pudding in "Zhiweiyuan" store was the best with the jelly stuffing. This type of stuffing was so easy to melt in the boiling soup. When you bit off the glue pudding, your mouth is full of the delicious soups. The bean-paste glue pudding and the black-sesame glue pudding of “Huang Xinfa” shop were delicious and flavored with the high-quality "Fruit brand" banana essence. The materials used for the black-sesame glue pudding of "Zheng Deda" shop were the most exquisite. In 1958, these three shops were combined as one and renamed as “Xianqian” glue pudding shop.
