There are many famous old shops in Liulichang, such as Huaiyin Mountain House, Rujiuzhai, Guyizhai, Ruichengzhai, Cuiwenge, Yidege and Li Fushou Bizhuang. And China Bookstore, the largest antique bookstore in China, and the original three bookstores in West Liulichang-Commercial Press, Zhonghua Bookstore and World Bookstore. The most famous old shop in Liulichang is Rong Baozhai. Some people say that Liulichang is famous for its famous cultural shops such as Rong Baozhai. This statement makes sense. Rong Baozhai's predecessor was "Songzhuzhai", and it was renamed as "Rong Baozhai" in Guangxu period, which means "being friends with literature, honor is precious". Lu Runxiang, a famous calligrapher, wrote the word "Rong Baozhai". Scholars in the late Qing Dynasty often gathered here, and during the Republic of China, Yu Youren, Zhang Daqian, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi and other painters of the older generation were also frequent visitors here. I don't know if you have seen the film founding ceremony and the photos of founding ceremony carefully. The ruler used by Mr Shen Junru, a famous bearded old man, was bought in Rong Baozhai.
Think of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Rong Baozhai, Daqian Gallery and other old Liulichang shops are vying to hang famous paintings and calligraphy in front of the window. Attracting people to stop and watch has become a landscape of Liulichang. At that time, it was also the most famous painting in Rong Baozhai. Rong Baozhai is most famous for its woodcut watermarks and replicas. Rong Baozhai's woodcut watermarking technology integrates engraving, printing, cutting and other technologies, which makes the watermarking art more perfect and has been praised by Mr. Lu Xun.
