- The Records of Chaozhou Prefecture during the Qianlong period recorded that the high-quality tin raw materials produced in Chaozhou "must be carved and melted by Chaoyang craftsmen". There is a saying: "Suzhou style, Chaoyang craftsmen". In the late Qing Dynasty, Chaoyang tinware was regarded as a famous Chinese product and was even exported abroad.

- In the minds of the ancients, pine trees and cranes are both symbols of good fortune and longevity. Pine is the "tallest of all trees", evergreen and immortal, and is a symbol of longevity and nobleness. The crane is the "ancestor of all feathers" and is a symbol of peace and elegance, as well as good fortune, longevity and nobility. Pine is long-lived and does not wither in winter, so it is regarded as a fairy object, used to celebrate birthdays and symbolize longevity. This symbolic meaning was accepted by Taoists and later became an important prototype of Taoist immortality. In Taoist mythology, pine is often a symbol of immortality. Taoists take pine leaves and roots in the hope of becoming immortals and achieving immortality.
