It has more than 3000 years since the tale that the prime
minister in Shang Dynasty, Bigan, created the process of fur
and leather. According to the legend, Bigan once worked as
official in Daying area and he first found the way to process
furs and leathers during his stay in Daying. Then he left
to become prime minister of Shang Dynasty. People here build
a temple named Bigan Temple in memory of him.
In Ming Dynasty, Daying fur and leather came into Europe upper
class after Zhenghe sailed across the Atlantic. At that time,
Daying fur became well-known for "Being soft, suitable,
fashionable".
In Qing Dynasty, the travelling merchants from more than 10
countries such as Russia, Japan, England, the Netherlands
set up warehouse in Daying. To the 1860's, Daying fur and
leather were sold well abroad as products exempt from examinations
and taxes. Since China's Reform and Open especially the recent
years, the holding of Daying Fur Trade Fair, further enhanced
the fame of Daying in China as well as the world.
Daying now has become the center of fur industry in North
China, with over 14,000 process enterprises and places for
stall in Daying and its 5 neighboring cities or counties over
300 villages. The people engaged in fur processing and sales
are about 150,000 and the sales volume reaches 1.8 billion
Chinese yuan. Daying fur and leather products are exported
to Russia, European countries, the USA, Japan, Southeast Asian
countries and Korea.
