What travelers say:

Speaking of Maotan Factory, it is estimated that Maotan Factory Middle School, which is known as the largest college entrance examination factory in Asia, has a greater reputation. Maotan Factory Old Street is relatively niche, so it is kept in the deep and people do not know it, silently unknown and quiet in the red dust, it seems that it often comes and goes. Listening to the sound of buying and selling, how many people have been deduced from the ordinary days of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and a string of old stories. It is said that the old street was built in the early Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Hongwu defeated Nanjing, Fu Jian emperor was in charge of the cavalry of the Yuan people, and it was the loss of the horse-raising army in the prefectures and counties in Sulu. At that time, there was an empty Pingchuan in the southern mountainous area of Lu'an, overgrown with thatched grass, and the land was a great place for horse-grazing, so the state official was convenient to set up a factory for horses, called Maotan Factory. After the homonym turned into a book as "Maotan Factory". After the reunification of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Fang Nanshan, Maotan Factory, due to the leading party of Fengshui, business travel spoke, gradually became a heavy town in the south of the mountain, and the wind and rain have not died since the past 500 years. Today, with the creation of civilization and the development of market economy, Maotan Factory New Town has risen, with its magnificent appearance, and the old street is still lying down, leaving a real history for the people, retaining a nostalgic realm and atmosphere. Here also retains the traditional craftsmanship of making oil paper umbrellas. It was once a wedding ceremony in Dabie Mountains. The bride used red oil paper umbrellas to cover the face and eliminate evil. The oil paper umbrellas necessary to shade the sun and rain in the daily life of the people. The old street "Chengguzhai" Xu Xiusheng, 78, a working class of oil paper umbrellas, has made oil paper umbrellas for 64 years. Don't look at the simple umbrellas. There are more than 100 processes alone, all of them are handmade. Today, the production of Dahongpao oil paper umbrella is already the intangible cultural heritage of Lu'an City, and Dahongpao oil paper umbrella has become a famous local tourist souvenir. The couplets in Maotanchang Old Street are all handwritten. According to the tour guide, the residents here who have been in the Spring Festival have asked the local writer to help write the couplet. If the couplet is well written, the owner of this house will be smug, and the opposite will be very faceless. Maotan Factory also retains a venue for the Cultural Revolution, where you can see signs of that period, large-character newspapers and some tools and items used at the time.
