Started in the Guangxu period, it has been the "Hongji Treasure" passed down for five generations. It is a national intangible cultural heritage project - Heqing Silver Jewelry Forging Skills Support and Inheritance Workshop. It is also a rare silver workshop that has been passed down from the Qing Dynasty to the present day. The Hong family is one of the few silver-making families that has inherited the traditional silver pot-making skills despite the changes of the times.
During the Guangxu period, Hong Shanyu (the first generation) in Heqing was spotted by a master silversmith when he was young. He was fortunate enough to be invited to be an apprentice in a silver workshop, and he has since embarked on the path of silversmithing. No one would have thought that this silversmith would be working for five generations. Hong Shanyu (the first generation) is indeed quite talented in gold and silverworking. He entered the industry at a young age and was already a good hand in the workshop as a young man. The quality of the silver pots produced by "Hong Kee Treasures" is very good. In addition to the unique craftsmanship and silver forging skills passed down by centuries of ingenuity, it is also inseparable from the serious and rigorous attitude of "Hong Kee Treasures" in making the products for generations.
