First let me introduce one of the specialties, Olive Bar Olive is a specialty of Fuzhou. It was listed as a tribute as early as the Tang Dynasty. When I first tasted Fuzhou olives, I felt they were bitter and astringent, but after the aftertaste, I found them fragrant and sweet. Fuzhou olive production areas are mainly distributed on both sides of the lower reaches of the Min River, with Minhou and Minqing counties producing the most.

Olives are also called "green fruits". This is because generally fruits are green when they are first born and change color when ripe; while olives always maintain their green color from raw to ripe. Olives are also called "loyalty fruit" and "remonstration fruit". This is because its special flavor of first bitter and then sweet is similar to the character of ancient loyal ministers who bitterly remonstrated. Olive oil is also known as the "fruit of blessing". This was named after overseas Chinese. This not only shows that Fuzhou has a large olive output in history, but also expresses the attachment of the overseas Chinese to their hometown (Fuzhou).

"Peach three plum four olive seven", olives need to be cultivated for 7 years before they bear fruit, and the maturity period is usually around October every year. New olive trees initially produce very little fruit, with each tree producing only a few kilograms. This will increase significantly after 25 years, and can reach more than 500 kilograms. Every time an olive tree bears fruit, its production will generally decrease the following year, with a rest period of one to two years. Therefore, olive production varies from year to year.

Olives can be processed in various ways such as "honey pickling" and "salt pickling". There are many varieties of olives in Fuzhou, including more than 10 varieties, including Sandalwood, Huiyuan, Changying, Yangshi, etc. In recent years, hotels and restaurants in Fuzhou have beaten raw olives flat, marinated in red lees and served on the table. The unique flavor makes them very popular. welcome. Fuzhou lacquerware began in the Southern Song Dynasty. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Fuzhou lacquer master Shen Shaoan inherited and carried forward the traditional lacquer art and created unique bodiless lacquerware, which has a history of more than 200 years. Fuzhou bodiless lacquerware is solid and light in texture, finely decorated, bright in color, strong and durable. It has a unique national style and strong local characteristics, which is similar to Beijing's cloisonné. Porcelain from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi is also known as the "Three Treasures" of traditional Chinese crafts.

The production methods of bodiless lacquerware are divided into two types: bodiless lacquerware and wooden lacquerware. The bodied body is a green tire made of soil, gypsum, wooden molds, etc., and then the green tire is mounted layer by layer with linen (linen) or silk cloth and raw lacquer. After drying in the shade, the original tire is broken or taken off, leaving The shape of the lacquered cloth vessel is then coated with dust, polished, lacquered, and decorated with various decorative patterns, and it becomes a bright and gorgeous "bodiless lacquerware" handicraft. The wooden body is mainly made of hard wood such as nanmu, camphor, and beech. It is directly painted without going through bodiing. The process is the same as that of bodiless cloth. There are as many as forty or fifty steps in a handicraft, and some even reach more than a hundred steps.

Fuzhou bodiless lacquerware products can be roughly divided into two categories: practical and artistic appreciation. In addition to being lightweight, beautiful and durable, bodiless lacquerware also has the advantages of heat resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, insulation, etc. Its application scope has been expanded to industrial products.
