The characteristics of Cantonese furniture tend to pursue the beautiful meanings in carvings, especially the patterns of grapes, bamboo joints, dragons and phoenixes in wood carvings all contain beautiful meanings. As early as the period of the Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou's wood carvings had more and more decorative patterns. They developed from simple line and angle pattern carvings to semi-three-dimensional and multi-level reliefs, through carvings and even three-dimensional carvings, forming a unique style that focuses on carving, is complex and luxurious.
In 1980, teacher Tang Jinquan entered Guangzhou South China Wood Carving Craft Factory to learn wood carving skills. At that time, it was the most glorious era of Cantonese furniture export overseas. In an era when the monthly salary was only 20 to 30 yuan, a set of high-quality Cantonese furniture could be sold. Sky-high price. At that time, "Burmese pear" could be sold for more than 200,000 yuan. In the early 1980s, more than 200,000 yuan was already a sky-high price.
Cantonese-style furniture sold at sky-high prices often requires about ten experienced craftsmen to spend a year of careful carving to complete. These pieces of furniture are exquisite and complex, and wood, design, and carving are all indispensable. Good wood carving craftsmanship not only requires meticulous attention to detail in small details, but also makes full use of the texture of the wood.
However, in the early 1990s, Guangzhou woodcarving was facing the downturn of Cantonese furniture. Teacher Tang Jinquan got out of the trough of entrepreneurship by combining it with tea culture and continuous innovation.

Teacher Tang discovered that tea restaurants and tea art houses were very popular in the mid-1990s, so he seized the business opportunity and designed a series of tea furniture, such as tea tables, tea sets, tea bars and other products. The results were very popular once launched, which also allowed Guangzhou woodcarving craftsmanship to regain its former glory.
