Tin has played a crucial role in Taiwanese Taoist religions, as ritual vessels are often tinware. Chen Wan-neng, the third generation of his family-owned tin workshop, has been a prime mover of Taiwan’s tin craftsmanship. In the 1960s, Taiwan’s economic shift brought about changes in lifestyle. Large, traditional offering tables were replaced by compact household altars, and the need for tin ritual vessels fell into decline as living spaces shrank. Chen Wan-neng faced such challenge with great creativity, combining existing ritual vessels into compact versions with attention to detail. Learn more about how a family defended a dying business and honored the tradition.
