Brand Story
Deyuan, originating from Chongqing, has its founding year yet to be officially verified, but local records and oral accounts suggest it began around 1900, during the late Qing Dynasty when Chongqing opened as a trading port. The founder, whose name is yet to be confirmed, started a small shop on the Yuzhong Peninsula, specializing in handmade pastries. Known for quality ingredients and fine craftsmanship, Deyuan gained a reputation, and by the Republican era, its mooncakes and New Year snacks were celebrated as local delicacies. During the War of Resistance, when Chongqing served as the provisional capital, Deyuan provided affordable pastries to comfort homesick residents. After 1949, the brand underwent public-private partnership, preserving its techniques. Today, Deyuan remains a living testament to Chongqing's modern commercial evolution, though its current ownership and store details are pending verification.

Cultural Note
Deyuan's pastry-making emphasizes ingredient selection, heat control, and handcrafting, with specialties like mooncakes and peach slice cake. Its techniques blend northern and southern styles while retaining local Chongqing flavors. Passed down through master-apprentice relationships, the craft now faces challenges as veteran artisans retire and fewer young people enter the field, making preservation efforts uncertain.
