| A descendent of the inventor of Chinese junks who lives in Quanzhou, an ancient trading port in southern Fujian province, runs a centuries-old shipyard and continues the tradition of making fuchuan junks. Huang Tangyang, 55, is an 11th-generation fuchuan maker – and he maintains the traditional methods.
The fuchuan junk is a kind of wooden junk that was used on trade routes, including the Maritime Silk Route during the Song Dynasty (AD 420-479). |
