Brand Story
Lao Yuchang, originating from Anhui, traces its roots to the Qing Dynasty (dates to be verified). According to legend, the Yu family ancestor established a handicraft workshop in Huizhou during the Qianlong reign (1736-1795), gaining local fame for superb skills. By the Guangxu reign (1875-1908), descendant Yu Changlong expanded the workshop and officially named it 'Lao Yuchang', specializing in traditional crafts. During the Republic of China era (1912-1949), its products were sold to neighboring provinces, making it a well-known local brand. After the founding of New China, Lao Yuchang underwent public-private partnership, preserving its techniques. Its craftsmanship integrates the essence of Huizhou culture, emphasizing detail and practicality, reflecting the wisdom and perseverance of Anhui folk artisans. Lao Yuchang is not just a product but a microcosm of Huizhou culture, carrying the memories and emotions of generations.
