C
As the Year of the Snake neared, a sword-like fridge magnet(磁贴) became a hit in Longquan, China’s “hometown of sword” in Zhejiang Province.

Its creator, Zou Qi, is a fourth-generation heir to the time-honored Yuanyuan Sword Workshop. Also, she’s one of the few women who make swords.
Born into a family deeply rooted in the art of sword-making, she didn’t want to take up this job at first. As time went by, seeing her father aging, she felt a sense of responsibility to carry on her family’s tradition. With e-commerce(电商) growing, in 2021, she quit her job and returned to her hometown to learn sword-making. However, her dad, Zou Jianming, a master swordsmith(铸剑师) with over 40 years of experience, showed great worries about her. Making a Longquan sword is really difficult, which includes over 200 steps. To women, it is a great challenge. ▲ But Zou Qi kept it up. She got burned and her hands got calluses. Still, she was proud when she made her first sword.
Determined to promote the traditional sword-making culture, Zou Qi wants swords to be not only displayed in museums but also integrated(融入) into people’s lives as special decorations. She tried putting phoenix(凤凰) patterns on a sword and named it “Phoenix Rebirth”. She thinks the phoenix means being strong and starting over. In an interview, she said, “People usually think only men can make swords. But women can add new ideas and pay more attention to details.”
