In the process of making medicine, the hygiene of the utensils, the order of the raw materials, and the fineness and color of the medicines must be strictly controlled. Due to the different climates of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the methods of preparing raw materials are different, and there are strict requirements for the storage of medicines.

Within the family, they are only passed down to the eldest son and grandson, or passed down by merit. This has never been violated for hundreds of years.
