Qiao Ming Match Factory, established in Foshan 1879, was founded by Wei Shengxuan. Qiao Ming Match Factory opened in Wenchang Sha, Foshan, and soon moved to Gangwalan, Foshan. At first, the scale was very small, and the daily output was only 1000 boxes.
For the first time, Qiao Ming matches don't use phosphorus sulfide. This kind of match will catch fire as soon as it is struck, which is convenient to use but unsafe and has certain toxicity. Later, Sweden used red phosphorus instead of phosphorus sulfide, so it was called a safety match, because the phosphorus surface on the match and the matchbox could be rubbed and ignited. Qiao Ming factory has adopted this production technology, producing more than a dozen safety matches a month (one is a small box of 1000), and the price is reasonable.

Even buy the best-selling brands of Japanese match factory at a high price as their own trademarks (such as "Dragon Dance" and "Lion Dance") to underwrite Japanese matches.
