Hu Qingyu's Hall
|
Hu Qingyu's Hall is appropriate for China’s only museum of traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) herbs in China. |
Hu Qingyu's Hall (Chinese: 胡庆余堂; pinyin: Húqìngyú Táng) is appropriate for China’s only museum of traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) herbs in China.
Located at the foot of the beautiful-landscape Wu Hill in Hangzhou, the museum is inside the ancient building complex of Huqingyu Drugstore, which has long been honored as "the Medicine House of the South of the Yangtze River". Built by the renowned businessman Hu Xueyan of the late Qing Dynasty in the 13th reigning year of Emperor Tongzhi, the ancient complex is one of the rare commercial buildings of the late Qing Dynasty at home and abroad.
Highly experienced experts had been invited for clinical consultation and the museum introduces visitors to the history of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs—their origin, formation, development, application, effect and their position in Chinese and world medical history. Samples are on display and herbs are prepared for medical use in a workshop. The reception is aptly named "Xingqutang" translated to hall for those who are interested. |
