When people talk about the famous and high-quality specialties of Longhai, the saying "stone code golden silk smoke, sea clear double cake moistening (famous snack)" often blurts out. According to "Shima Town Chronicles" (a manuscript of the Republic of China): "Shima shredded tobacco has been famous for being shipped to famous ports in Taiwan and Nanyang since ancient times, and is a large export item." "Baicao Jingshuo" says: "Smoking is called Acacia, and there are many types of cigarettes, which are still very popular today. In the mainland, there are Shima cigarettes in Zhangzhou, Fujian, Mian cigarettes in Changshan, Zhejiang, Shehong cigarettes in Jiangxi, and Jining cigarettes in Shandong. Recently, there has been tide cigarettes in Guangdong. "It is certain that the Shima cigarettes at that time (the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China) were included in the ranks of famous cigarettes in the country.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Shima cigarettes were the most famous brand. , famous in Zhang and Xiamen areas. Later, Huashan, Wanshan and other tobacco villages emerged one after another. The golden tobacco produced is especially the best in Huashan. In the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1880), Zeng Wenqian, a native of Haichenghoujing, opened a small family-style cigarette lamp spot - Huashan Yanzhuang at the entrance of Xiamei Lane, Shimawai Street. At that time, it was customary to have an oil lamp on the counter of every smoke shop for customers to smoke. Therefore, it was not called a smoke shop but was commonly known as a "cigarette lamp shop". In the beginning, Zeng Wenqian's family started making products by hand, striving to improve the quality of the products. As a result, they received high praise from customers and became a well-known smoke shop. Anyone who has smoked Huashan cut tobacco will feel that it has a special mellow flavor. After 10 years of operation, with the help of Huang Yanshan, a relative living abroad, financing continued, and the business of Yanzhuang was booming. According to statistics: the maximum amount of funds reached more than 100,000 silver dollars; product categories include golden silk cigarettes and black thick cigarettes; trademarked brand products, including White Bear, Huashan, and Huashan, are sold domestically, and Zeng Huashan, Zeng Furong, etc. are sold abroad. Zeng Juqing; the marketing scope includes Longxi, Haicheng, Zhangpu, Zhangzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou and other places domestically, and Jakarta, Cirebon, Semarang, Surabaya, Zhikar, Solo and other places in Indonesia abroad. The number of employees is, There are at least 5 people and a maximum of 100 people; the monthly output of golden cigarettes is 750 kilograms to 56,000 kilograms. The reason why "Huashan" continues to flourish, and the reason why the golden silk cigarettes it produces and operates are popular at home and abroad and well-known in Southeast Asia, is due to its unique production requirements and unique business methods. First of all, "Huashan" tobacco shop achieves five "fine" aspects in production: 1. Selected and blended tobacco leaves are mainly collected from Nanxiong, Dongxiang, Tongnan, Zhejiang, and Fuding, Zhouning, Xiapu, and Pinghe in this province. Luxi and other four provinces and eight counties; 2. Fine use of clarified raw oil; 3. Fine tearing of leaves to remove the middle stems; 4. Precision baking with moderate heat; 5. Careful packaging and perfect decoration. Secondly, we implement five management aspects in operations: 1. Develop sales channels and expand sales channels with the purpose of "high quality, low price, small profits but quick turnover"; 2. Meticulous product inspection, and unqualified products will never leave the factory. ; 3. Meticulous labor management; 4. Strict factory regulations and laws; 5. Salary remuneration is a combination of monthly fixed salary and piece-rate remuneration. In addition to Huashan Yanzhuang, the golden tobacco produced by Wanshan Yanzhuang is also quite famous. In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), Zhou Yongsan, a native of Xiazhai County, Pinghe County, went to Shima to open Wanshan Hutchison Tobacco Shop, which had more than 90 workers. Its product packaging was printed with the words "Shuncheng" Luxi Zhengdi tobacco leaves as raw materials. , sold well in Singapore, Indonesia and other countries, with annual sales of more than 50 tons

After liberation, through cooperativeization, public-private partnership, and even in 1960, Longxi and Haicheng counties were merged into Longhai County. All cigarette factories were merged and restructured into the "Local State-owned Longhai County Tobacco Factory", which still produces Shima Golden Silk Tobacco, including "Chengrong Brand" first-grade shredded tobacco, "Lichi Brand" third-grade shredded tobacco, "White Bear Brand", " Tiantan brand" shredded tobacco and "Nanxi Bridge brand" cigarette paper are very popular among smokers. Since the reform and opening up, with the improvement of people's living standards and the continuous changes in consumption habits, the supply of cigarettes has become abundant, and the shredded tobacco business has declined sharply. In the spring of 1989, the state-owned Longhai County Cut Tobacco Factory was merged into the state-owned "Longhai County Preserved Fruit Factory". From then on, the cut tobacco processing industry went out of business, and the popular "Shima Golden Silk Tobacco" became history. (Longhai)
