Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren stick to their ingenuity and inherit the Miao silver jewelry culture.

80-year-old Longjitang is from Bond Village, Heku Town, Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. He studied silver jewelry forging since he was a child. His son and grandson inherited the family skills, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren persisted in forging ingenuity and inherited the silver jewelry culture of Miao township.

The production process of Miao silver ornaments is very complicated, and a piece of silver ornaments needs to go through dozens of processes such as melting silver, forging, inlaying and pinching flowers. In the traditional Miao culture, silver ornaments are the "standard" for women to get married. "There are many kinds of silver ornaments for girls to get married. They should be worn on the head, shoulders, ears, chest and hands. It takes at least seven or eight people to cooperate for a week. " Long Tangji said.

In recent years, a large number of industrial silverware processed by machines have flooded into Miao areas, and the traditional silverware production is facing the challenge of transformation. Many craftsmen give up their skills and move out of their hometown. Longjitang adheres to the traditional craft, uses pure silver as the raw material, adopts the traditional patterns of this nation, continues to make by hand, and accepts the art taught by apprentices. Under the influence of this silversmith family, the silver jewelry forging in Bond Village has formed an integrated pattern of production, supply and marketing of "heritage museum+base+individual manual workshop". At present, there are more than ten Miao silverware workshops in the local area, and nearly 200 people are engaged in silverware forging. It is a well-known "silversmith village".
