History

Rong Bao Zhai was founded in 1672 as the Song Zhu Zhai, and adopted its current name in 1894.
On the Chinese mainland, Rong Bao Zhai was recognized as the "Chinese Time-honored" enterprises by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China. In 1973, nobel laureate Aage Bohr visited the shop during an overseas trip, in honor of his late father, Niels Bohr, as his physics research and the scientific work of his father were mainly influenced by Chinese philosophy and Daoism.
