Fuzhou, historically known as Min Capital, is a city celebrated as the “Seaside Zou Lu” (a term referring to areas known for cultural richness and etiquette, originating from Zou and Lu, the birthplaces of Confucius and Mencius in the Spring and Autumn Period (770–476 BC)). Encircled by mountains and bordered by the sea, with the Min River coursing through and two iconic towers standing guard, Fuzhou has long been a hub of culture and talent. The city's exquisite traditional arts and crafts further enrich its legacy, earning it widespread acclaim. 

Through the passage of time, countless artisans have pursued beauty with unwavering dedication, embodying the spirit of craftsmanship as they refine their skills. These artisans not only preserve age-old traditions but also boldly innovate, infusing new life and energy into these crafts to keep them relevant in modern society.
