Bo-Ren Tang Chinese Medicine Store

  Bo-Ren Tang's family history of Traditional Chinese medicine can be traced back to the YongZheng Era of the Qing Dynasty, the current boss Zhou Jianwen is the sixth generation. His grandfather, Zhou Zhifu, came to Taiwan to open "Tsing-Yu Tang" in Taipei, then moved to Tainan, with the help of Mr. Chen Yimao, to open a store, and two people's names as the hall name "Yi-Zhi Hall". After his eldest son Zhou Bo-ren took over the Chinese medicine store and changed its name to "Bo-Ren Tang” and continues to use it to this day. Now times have changed, and both Chinese medicine and its market are shrinking, the sixth- generation boss Zhou Jianwen transformed the store to sell medicinal cuisines, and hopefully the culture of Chinese medicine can continue to flourish.
