Zhong Kui
Zhong Kui is the orthodox home-guarding fortune deity and the foremost evil-avoiding figure in Chinese folk tradition. Holding a bat symbolizes blessings descending from heaven — dissolving calamities and difficulties, with good fortune arriving from above. The five bats on his chest circling an ancient coin represent the Five Blessings Arriving at the Door: longevity, wealth, health and peace, love of virtue, and a good end — also carrying the meaning of guarding wealth, gathering prosperity, and flourishing the family's blessings.
Intangible Heritage Copper Firing Color Technique
After fine polishing of the copper figurine's surface, artisans control temperature, heating duration, and reagent ratios to form a dense oxide film on the copper surface at high temperatures, producing richly layered color variations. This coloration is not a coating applied to the surface but a natural texture formed by the copper itself through high-temperature oxidation. Unlike ordinary spray painting, every high-temperature reaction in copper firing coloration is unique.
Pure Copper
Pure copper has a dense texture, substantial weight in hand, and carries a naturally steady presence. With long-term handling or display, the surface will naturally oxidize to form a warm patina, and the color will slowly settle from rose red to a rich antique bronze — accompanying you through the沉淀 of time, developing a more exclusive texture the more it is nurtured.
