Located in East Liulichang, Xuanwumenwai, this store was composed of Lifushou Writing Brush Store which is the major one, Wuwenkui Writing Brush Store and Qingmige Paper Store. In 1925, Li Fushou cultivated friendships with Tang Dingzhi, Qi Baishi and other celebrated painters and produced, according to their requirements, such well-known writing brushes as “Bai Yun” (white cloud), “Yi Wen” (clothing lines)” Xie Zhua” (crab’s Feet) and “Lan Zhu”(orchid and bamboo). Hence, the store’s brushes were sold all over China. After the founding of PRC, it became Beijing Writing Brush Factory, and its products were still marked with the brand of Li Fushou. In 1985, Wenfangsibao Store was jointly created by the three stores.
