Jun 08,2020
Weaving with your fingertips gives plants a new lease of life. This magical craft is called "grass weaving". The earliest history of grass weaving can be traced back to more than 7,000 years ago in the period of the Hemudu people; according to the Book of Rites, there were already Guan mats compiled with Guan (cattail) in the Zhou Dynasty, and at that time, there were already professional "grass workers" who "made reeds and reeds".
In the long process of inheritance, grass weaving has not been abandoned, but integrated into people's daily life. Grass weaving artists use the grass dyed with various colours beforehand to weave various patterns, and some of them add decorative patterns after weaving. As a traditional Chinese folk handicraft, straw weaving has a rich cultural heritage and cultural accumulation, and its value is not only confined to an economic and practical chain, but also has a high aesthetic pleasure and appreciation function. Handmade grass weaving carries the breath of nature, lighting up all corners of life in a silent way, which is both economical and practical as well as aesthetically pleasing.
