Laosantai Huihui Tang Strings (Made in the early years of the Republic of China)

The print on the wrapping was from the same wood block as that used for the Laosantai Huihui Tang Strings made in the late Qing Dynasty, but the print has become blurred, showing that the printing was made at a later stage. On the left hand side of the wrapping, there is another red print to the effect that “We are on Sanyuan Road in Hangzhou, opposite to the Bank of China”. The Bank of China was set up by Dr Sun Yat-sen in the first year of the Republic of China (1912). Evidently, these strings are products after the establishment of the Republic of China. They are also the last batch of Huihui Tang Strings, and most extant Huihui Tang Strings are from this batch.
The strings are in good condition and can still be used.
