At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the city road was a commercial prosperous area.

There is a place nearby called "Fu Xiufang",

A large number of handicrafts accumulated, and some old names were born.

Over time, society changes,

A batch of old tea houses gradually disappeared,

Some handicrafts have passed down.

According to the residents of Fu Xiufang, the residential area across the office building of the People's Government of Zhaoqing in the past is not called "Fu Xiufang", but called "Fushoufang". From "Shou" to "embroidery", he accidentally wiped out the historical color of this area. In fact, there is a group of unique craftsmen here, they are tied with paper people, gravestones, and wreaths ... they are called "Fushou" craftsmanship.

Changes in Fushou Store

On the left side of the Shiphewen Gate of Fu Xiufang, No. 1, Fu Xiufang,

It is a Fushou shop that exists in the Qing Dynasty.

This small shop less than 10 square meters,

Full of wreaths, tombstones, tombstones,

Ashes, paper tie, Shoushou and so on.

This shop is now run by Ni Yaobin couple. Ni Yaobin was born in 1945. His Taigong and father are handmade craftsmen who are "Fu Shou". Ni Yaobin's wife Liang Yaoqun lived near Fuxufang when she was a child. When she was in memory, the old Fushou shop existed. In the wave of the "Cultural Revolution", the store was once blocked. After the reform and opening up, it was managed by the Senate Committee. Later, it was run by a person with a surname of Li.

Decades of handmade monument skills

In Fujiufang's alleys, people often see such a scene: a tombstone on a low wood table, Ni Yaobin wore a flower mirror, and filled with red paint on the tombstone with a brush. The chisel is engraved on hard marble.

The couple work in front of the store

Usually it is a few hours,

They are indifferent to the outside world noisy.

"This craft has to be done with your heart," they said,

The completion of a tombstone is at least a day and a half.

The production of a tombstone requires multiple steps: polishing, painting, writing, engraving, washing monument, filling, and drying. At the same time, the tombstone is sunny and rainy, and the font is easy to fade. Therefore, the craftsman must add some special substances to the red paint to make the red paint more durable and lasting.

Liang Yaoqun introduced

"In the past, the wreath is not as easy to tie as it is now. Because the ingredients used are straw, it takes a lot of places to make a wreath. A big wreath. "

The social changes in these decades have also been reflected in the tombstone. People in the old days like to engrave dragon patterns on the tombstone, but no one is carved now. Even the traditional Chinese characters on the tombstone are replaced with simplified characters. Ni Yaobin said that in the past, the tombstone often had "test", and most of them are now engraved with "parents".

Every year, the most busy time is on the eve of the Qingming Festival. At this time, there are more lives. The couple get up early every day to open the store and get up early. The craftsmanship still worked hard and regretted.

The "Fragrance" teahouse of the Qing Dynasty has disappeared

The words "again incense"

For the younger generation of Fu Xiufang,

It's unfamiliar.

And those middle -aged people living nearby,

There is still a faint impression of "again incense".

Remember the most clear,

It is more than "again incense"

The You Clan behind the old site.

There is a new way of operating after the sixth -generation You Cantang passed on to the sixth -generation You Citang. There are 15 brothers You Yu Tang, but there is only one shop, so they agree to operate each person for three years. In his early years, You Yuantang also brought the "card position" of foreign restaurants at the time in Asia to the Americas' boat career. At the time, this was a more avant -garde way.

You Yu Tang's British ship drifted on the ocean,

Bring him back a lot of wealth,

He built two small ocean buildings in Fuxangfang.

Unfortunately,

These two Xiaoyang buildings due to the year
