Shouyi: The technique of lacquer chopsticks dyed through time

author：

　　Zhang Guotian is the inheritor of Fuzhou lacquer chopsticks skills. He was born in a family of ordinary lacquer chopsticks craftsmen in Qi'an Village. When he was young, he followed his brother to learn how to make lacquer chopsticks, and devoted himself to researching and improving traditional lacquer chopsticks skills. He combined modern technology with traditional Fuzhou craftsmanship to create his own Zhang's signature. Zhang Guotian has been making chopsticks for decades. The Fuzhou lacquer chopsticks industry has experienced ups and downs from private workshops all over the countryside. Today, only a few private enterprises are left standing. (from Shouyi)
