One of our roots is the persistence of handwork, and the other is that we never give up on the exploration of science and technology. We started to pay attention to styling very early, such as holographic scanning, 3D printing, including the application of some engraving machines, how to better refine us The characteristics of the company and the optimization of the defects in our handwork, so we have always believed that the relationship between technology in machinery and handwork should be common progress, not replacement, not cover up, but mutual complementarity.
What we have to do is to focus our core concerns on our products, craftsmanship, and our design, let us return to more pure.

The She nationality is a people we call the Phoenix on the Head. Many lines on it are taken from the phoenix. For example, this phoenix tail, this collision with the phoenix Lin, and the following packages are all related to the derivation of some phoenixes, so we call this It is a phoenix crown, because the She nationality is a nation with no words, only language and some folk customs, so many of its inheritance is passed on by techniques and patterns.

Ninety-nine percent of our customers have met before, and now 99% of my customers have never met. Before, many of our silver pots had to be watched, but now they can’t see each other. , Many customers will keep asking you questions on the Internet, giving us enough time to communicate with others. After thorough communication, we find that this kind of sales change by customers is more efficient and more targeted.
[Explanation] In Lin Weixing's view, with the development of the Internet, the business model and business philosophy of traditional craftsmanship also need to be adjusted accordingly.
It is a very good way to allow personalized and customizable models to penetrate the field of traditional handicrafts, which can allow more and more people to understand traditional skills.

First of all, each of our things is a utility, and it is related to you, instead of being placed there to accumulate dust and hanging on the wall for pure appreciation.
Second, the utility must be beautiful and in line with the aesthetics of the moment, so that I can better connect with them. Sometimes I may not speak English, I may not have so many languages, but my work can speak.
