The founder of Quanjude was Yang Quanren. When he first arrived in Beijing, he traded raw chickens and ducks on Meat Market Street outside the Qianmen Gate.

Yang Quanren every day to the meat market stalls selling chickens and ducks, have to go through a named "Dejuquan" dried fruit store. Although the signboard of this store was eye-catching, the business was declining. By the third year of Tongzhi (1864), the business had fallen apart and was on the verge of closure. The shrewd Yang Quanren seized this opportunity and took out his years of savings to buy the store "Dejuquan".

With his own store, what name should be given? Yang Quanren then invited a Feng Shui gentleman to discuss. The feng shui gentleman circled the store twice, suddenly stood still, twirling his mustache and said: "Ah ah, this is really a piece of feng shui treasure land ah! You see the two small alleyways on both sides of the store, like two sedan chair poles, in the future to build a building, it will be like a eight-carried sedan chair, the future is unlimited!"

The feng shui master's eyeballs turned, and said: "However, before this store is very bad luck, bad luck is difficult to get rid of. Unless the old name of the 'Dejuquan' is reversed, that is, called 'Quanjude', can wash away its bad luck, and embark on a straight path." Mr. Feng Shui a word, said Yang Quanren eyebrows open smile. The name "Quanjude" is just what he wanted, one of his name in the possession of a "full" word, the second "Jude" is a collection of virtues, you can boast that they do business to speak of virtues. So he named the store "Quanjude".

Then he invited a calligraphy master Qian Zilong to write the three big words "Quanjude" and made a gold plaque to hang on the lintel. The words were written in a strong and powerful, thick and eye-catching, for the store to add a lot of color.
