The allusion of “gourd” should come from Hou Han Shu. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, a man named Fei Zhangfang wanted to learn medical skills to treat diseases. On one occasion he met in the street an old man of great skill in medicine. Any patient who had taken one of his medicines could see an immediate effect. Fei would like to take the old man as his master. He followed the old man quietly. At last, the old man turned into smoke and got into a gourd hanging on the wall of a restaurant. The next day, Fei ordered a feast near the gourd in the restaurant and waited for the old man to come out. Sure enough, in a short time the old man jumped out of the gourd, Fei immediately kowtowed and knelt down, asking for guiding. Seeing Fei’s sincerity, the old man accepted him as an apprentice. Years later, in memory of the old man, Fei always hang a gourd on the body when practising medicine. Thus, the say of “Xuan Hu Ji Shi (hang a gourd while practising medicine to help patients)”came. Therefore, the later generations called the people who sold medicine or practiced medicine “Xuan Hu(hang a gourd)”, called the behaviors “Xuan Hu Ji Shi”, used the word “Xuan Hu Zhi Xi” to congratulate those who opened a clinic.
GPHL has an indissoluble bond with gourd culture of “Xuan Hu Ji Shi (hang a gourd while practising medicine to help patients)”, and deeply explores the deep implication of gourd, which are auspiciousness, fortune and health.
Wanglaoji, a sub-brand of GPHL, also represents auspicious culture. During as early as the Opium War, Lin Zexu disguised himself to investigate opium in Humen, Guangzhou. It was in summer, he got a heatstroke when he arrived. His subordinate advised him to try Wang Laoji, a herbal tea, which quickly heals him. Seeing the significant effect of Wang Laoji in person, Lin give the store a large copper pot inscribed with three gold words – “Wang Laoji” as a present, meaning “Xuan Hu Ji Shi(pot and gourd and the same pronunciation – “hu” in Mandarin)”.
At present, GPHL is dedicated in digging gourd culture,making the concept of “gourd filled with GPHL’s medicine” accepted by the public!
