| ¡¡In 1694, the famous brush expert
Zhou Huchen set up his first writing brush making workshop in JiangXi
Province, which was the beginning of the famous brand Zhou Huchen¡ª¡ª¡°Tiger¡±.
In 1862, the descendents of Zhou Huchen moved their workshop to Shanghai
and began providing their writing brushes to the Royals of Qing Dynasty,
making themselves the major supplier of the imperial court. In order
to honor the devotion of Zhou Huchen and his descendants, Emperor
Qian Long (the fifth Emperor of Qing Dynasty) awarded a shop tablet
on which the Emperor himself wrote the name of the workshop----Lao
zhou huchen Brush Workshop, which was regarded as the highest-ranked
reward in that times. In 1907, the manager at that time was awarded
the most honorable prize of the commercial enterprise by the Qing
government. Then in later 1926, the company attended the World¡¯s Fair
hold in Philadelphia, U.S.A and procured the Golden Prize.
¡¡In the year of 1958, Lao Zhou huchen workshop
annexed eight writing brush factories in Shanghai and became the largest
industrialized writing brush factory in China at that time. At the
same time, it started to produce artist brush in large quantity and
export them to more than ten countries. In 1988 and 1996, the company
twice won the ¡°Certificate of High Quality Exported Goods¡± issued
by Department of Commerce, and in 2000 our company had got the ¡°Certificate
of Exported Commodities against Inspection¡± issued by China Commodity
Inspection Bureau. In recent years, we gradually moved our workshop
to Jiangsu and invested to set up new manufacturing factory for the
sake of lowering the cost and gaining comparative advantage.
