Why is the coffin in Liuzhou, Guangxi so famous?
Liuzhou Golden Goose Wholesale Market is the most prosperous coffin handicraft wholesale point in Liuzhou at present. Mr. Liang, the wholesaler, told the reporter that the coffin crafts he operated sold well, and the buyers were mostly tourists from Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Zhu Hongqing, a Guangdong student studying in Liuzhou, and his girlfriend chose ten coffin crafts in brown and primary colors at one go in the shop. The two-centimeter coffin is so small and exquisite in their hands that people can't put it down. Zhu Hongqing said that Liuzhou coffins are very famous. Buy some for friends who go back to their hometown and hang them on their mobile phones, which is both chic and innovative. The reporter saw at the craft coffin counter of Liuzhou Industry and Trade Building today that there are many kinds of coffin handicrafts made of nanmu, mahogany and rosewood, which are bright in color, different in size and exquisite in workmanship, and the price ranges from thirteen yuan to several hundred yuan. Salesgirl Huang said that craft coffins are amber and chestnut, which are divided into four styles: smooth, gold, relief and line carving. Small ones can hang mobile phones and satchels, and big ones can hold seals and jewelry. Because coffins are homophonic "promoting to a higher position and making a fortune", many businessmen will buy them back and put them on their desks. Before the liberation of Longevity Street Memory, Huangnijia in Liucheng (now Datong Lane) and Longevity Street (now Changqing Road) on the edge of Liujiang River formed a franchise street which operated coffins in the south and the north. During the visit to Longevity Street, the reporter found that Longevity Street only stayed in the memory of some elderly people in Liuzhou. The 66-year-old old man Liang recalled that at that time, the 100-meter-long streets here were paved with bluestone slabs, and there were seven or eight coffin businesses. Friends often play hide-and-seek in the street and hide in newly made coffins. At that time, in Liuzhou, families with people over 50 years old would save money to buy a coffin and put it at home, indicating that the elderly would live a long and healthy life. Old people who are seriously ill at home will buy a coffin to "celebrate happiness". Usually at this time, the old man's illness will miraculously recover. The reporter of "The Coffin Man" in Liuzhou met Ms Naomi, a 64-year-old fifth-generation descendant of Shoufang's family, in Liuzhou Shouhe Handicraft Factory. Ms. Wang said that she has developed and applied for the design patents of sixteen kinds of craft coffins, such as Bai Shouquan Relief, Bai Fuquan Relief, Jiulongquan Relief and Dragon and Phoenix Line Carving. The annual output of craft coffins is in short supply, and they are mainly sold to South China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as Singapore, Australia and other countries. Recently, the factory received 24,400 coffins with the words "All my life is safe" and four centimeters of golden dragons and phoenixes ordered by Shaanxi Yuncheng Mine Material Supply Station. Naomi said that Long Youfeng has two sets of coffin crafts, which represent the safety of husband and wife. The reporter saw that these small craft coffins need to be sawed, planed, ground, carved and bronzed. Master Ma from Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province, the hometown of wood carving, holds a carving knife. In just fifteen minutes, a 12-centimeter-long line carved dragon and phoenix coffin jumped into the reporter's eyes. The coffin is beautifully carved, and the dragons and phoenixes are auspicious, which is amazing.
