At the beginning of the 20th century, Zhou Weicheng (Zhenhai) opened a "Wuhua Carving Shop" in Shanghai. From 1927 to 1936, he invited 10 Xiangshan woodcarvers to make a "hundred gifts car" for marriage. This "Hundred Celestial Sedan" is known as "the largest sedan chair in China" (now on display in Shanghai Urban History Museum).

The biggest "flower of things" in old Shanghai was paved with carved bridal sedan chairs. 1927, a shop owner from Ningbo married his son Zhou, hired ten woodcarvers, and carefully carved many opera stories and characters, which took 10 years to complete. The sedan chair was loaded with 100 small electric beads, and it was named the ancient Chinese medicine sedan chair (pearl). After liberation, Zhou's sedan chair was donated to the History Museum.
