Zhonghua Laozihao

Blackboard at the Tongrentang Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmacy in Beijing

Zhonghua Laozihao ( 中华老字号 , Zhōnghuá Lǎozìhào , English China Time-honored Brand - "(roughly) tried and tested brands of China") is a certificate awarded by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce to companies in China whose brands have a long tradition. It stands for products, processes or services with a strong Chinese cultural background and character that have been passed on over generations and are largely recognized by society. There are currently around a thousand brands of this type (see also the history section). The spectrum ranges from products from quasi globally operating listed companies to smaller family businesses.

history

China's Time-honored Brand (old certification board in the Dongxingshun- Baodu restaurant of the Zhang family (东兴顺爆肚张)) in Beijing's Xicheng district (still from the (former) Ministry of Internal Trade of the People's Republic of China)

Beijing Baodu dish from the Zhang family (the traditional Beijing specialty with the Chinese name bàodǔ is boiled sheep's stomach that is served with seasoning for dipping)

According to documents from the Ministry of Commerce from the time after the state was founded, there were more than ten thousand Laozihao across China, and by 1978 more than two thousand of the old Chinese companies were recognized by government agencies.

In 1991, the former Ministry of Internal Trade of the People's Republic of China awarded the rating to over one thousand six hundred companies based in mainland China. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce has been “ revitalizing the old project” since 2005 , with certification from a shortlist of around a thousand recognized Laozihao by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce since 2006 .

According to the 2006 Laozihao report , 63% of Laozihao are in the food industry and 11% in traditional Chinese medicine and pharmaceuticals.
