Quanjude, a Chinese time-honored brand, was founded in 1864 (the third year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty) on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. Quanjude opened its first roast duck restaurant in Qianmen Street. After several generations of pioneering efforts, it has made great progress. 1999, Quanjude was recognized as a "well-known trademark" by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.

After continuous innovation and development, Quanjude cuisine has formed a Quanjude cuisine with the unique Quanjude roast duck as the leading factor, which integrates "whole duck banquet" and more than 400 special dishes. It is loved by heads of state, government officials, people from all walks of life and tourists at home and abroad, and is known as "the first food in China". Former China people and Premier Zhou Enlai have chosen Quanjude's "family portrait" as a state banquet for many times.

Brand origin

Quanjude was founded by Yang. When he first arrived in Beijing, he bought and sold raw chickens and ducks in a street in the meat market outside Qianmen. Yang knows how to sell ducks, and his business is booming. He scrimped and saved on weekdays, and the money he saved snowballed. Every day when Yang goes to the meat market to set up a stall to sell chickens and ducks, he passes through a dried fruit shop called Dejuquan.

Although the signboard of this store is eye-catching, its business is declining. Tongzhi for three years (1864), business was sluggish and on the verge of bankruptcy. Smart Yang seized this opportunity, took out his savings for many years and bought the "Dejuquan" store.
