In 1914, Xie Zhinan, a businessman from Zhejiang Province, founded Zhonghua knitting factory in Tai'an square, Sichuan Road (now North Sichuan Road) of Shanghai British concession. The factory is located in Longjiang Road, Yulin District (now Yangpu District). In 1928, Xie Weiqing, the son of Xie Zhinan, came back from England. He contacted Xie's people to run the business in partnership. His scale and equipment were first-class in China at that time. At that time, the product was cotton socks. With the launch of the product, Xie's people proposed that there should be a label or brand on the package. However, after thinking about several plans, they were still uncertain. One day in autumn, Xie Zhinan saw that the chrysanthemums on the balcony of the attic were very beautiful and colorful. He thought: my socks should be as colorful as chrysanthemums, which makes people like them. The rise of this inspiration naturally set the main tone of the brand, and "chrysanthemum brand" was born.
