The owner's surname is Shang Fushan, and his ancestor was a famous sculptor. The various chopsticks sold in the store, including gold chopsticks, silver chopsticks, ivory chopsticks, mahogany, sandalwood, and ebony chopsticks, are all carefully carved. The chopsticks are engraved with characters and animals or painted with flowers, birds, insects, and fish.

When there was a famine, they sold precious fans to satisfy their hunger. In 1961 AD (Xin Chou in the lunar calendar), the land of China suffered from a natural disaster that had not been seen in a century. There was famine in both urban and rural areas, and people fled everywhere. It snowed again in the ancient city. The citizens who had already tightened their belts and struggled to survive were exposed to snow again. They were really hungry and cold and miserable. But one person actually braved the wind and snow and strolled leisurely on the street. This man was in his thirties, neither fat nor thin. He wore a peaked cap, waved a plum blossom folding fan in his hand, and walked towards Huifu Street in the city with splayed legs. The fan was originally used to keep cool in summer, but he actually shook it on a snowy day. This person was either a madman or a monster. This man's name is Gu Sangeng, a fan collector who never leaves his hand all year round. He works as a collector in the city's cultural relics store, specializing in antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Guzhou's calligraphy brushes are famous all over the world. Everyone knows that in Bucheng, which is under the jurisdiction of Guzhou, every household is engaged in making brushes, including women.

In particular, the Langhao brush is a masterpiece and is cherished by calligraphers and painters. It is said that the Langhao small regular script pens sold in the store during the Kangxi period were as expensive as ten taels of silver each, which made people widen their eyes in horror! Therefore, the ancestors of the Zong family were ordered to make imperial brushes for the emperor many times. It is said that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the eighteenth year of Guangxu's reign, laughter in Shanyu Hall spread from inside to outside the hall.
