Silver shops refer to shops that used to produce gold and silver jewelry utensils and engage in transactions. In 74 1 year, Xue Lingzhi, the first scholar in Fujian in the Tang Dynasty, was dissatisfied with the autocratic power of the traitor Li and resigned with his son and returned to China. His integrity persuaded the ruling and opposition parties, and several court silversmiths let him live in a thatched cottage and irrigate the garden with an urn. In order to solve the suffering of extreme poverty, the silversmith went down to Lianxi River and moved to Saijiang River in Changxi (now Fuan City, Fujian Province) to make a living.
