After the founding of New China in 1949, Xinmin Dressing Factory and other firms were merged into Guangzhou Sanitary Material Factory. In 1958, Xiaoyan Zhentong Gao, the first native rubber plaster containing drugs was born in Gaungzhou, and then the factory developed classic Lingnan Chinese medicines for rheumatism and punch injury into Chinese medicine analgesic emplastrum in January 1970 , and thus "701" Dieda Zhentong Gao was born.
