Wanjin Tin Art Museum Introduction
The Chen Wan-Neng Tin Art Studio is a tin art workshop founded by national treasure tin art master Chen Wan-Neng and his sons, Chen Chih-Yang, the third son, and Chen Chih-Sheng, the fourth son, who are both recognized as traditional tin craft preservers by the Taiwan Craft House and Changhua County. Tin is a metal with a silver-gray luster, also interpreted as "to give," and tin craft involves casting and engraving various objects using tin-lead alloy, commonly seen in past weddings or religious ceremonies, with a history of over a hundred years in Taiwan. In Lugang, from the late Qing Dynasty's Jiaqing period, there was a peak thriving time, with six to ten tin shops at one point, and Che Lu Kou became Tin Workshop Street, with master-apprentice relationships spread throughout the province engaged in tinware supply.
