Brand Story
Longchi, originating from Fujian, boasts a craft history that can be traced back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. According to local chronicles, Fujian has long been known for its thriving handicraft industry, and it was against this backdrop that Longchi craft gradually took shape. Due to a lack of definitive historical records, the exact founding year and key figures remain unverified [pending confirmation]. Legend has it that Longchi craft is renowned for its exquisite carving and lacquer art, with works that blend the cultural characteristics of southern Fujian (Minnan), embodying the wisdom and craftsmanship of folk artisans. Through the vicissitudes of history, Longchi craft has been passed down from generation to generation, preserving its technical essence despite wars and changes. Today, as a candidate for the China Time-honored Brand, Longchi's cultural significance lies in inheriting Fujian's traditional crafts and promoting regional culture. However, due to insufficient historical materials, its complete story awaits further excavation and verification.
