Yutian reed mat

Yutian reed is divided into three types: lake reed, pit reed and river reed, which are mainly used for processing reed mats, beating reed curtains and weaving reeds.

After the 1950s, the weaving industry developed year by year. After the 1980s, the annual output of reed mats was about 1.3 million, and the annual sales volume was about 1.2 million. Mat weaving households are mainly distributed in more than ten townships such as Mengdazhuang, Yangjia Banqiao, Dadingzhuang and canal river.
