Guangyanghu straw weaving

The weaving technology of grass willow in Guangyang Lake is made of thatch, wheat straw and wicker. It originated in the late Qing Dynasty and was recorded in the town annals. At first, it was mainly for self-editing, with practicality as the main and appreciation as the second. Guangyang Lake is a hometown of corn in history. As a subsidiary product of grain, thatch, wheat straw and abundant willow resources, Guangyang Laker uses its unique weaving technology to process thatch, wheat straw and wicker. Most of Guangyang's straw wicker weaving products are daily necessities, such as straw sandals, straw curtains, straw bags, willow frames and so on. There are many weaving methods of grass willow in Guangyang Lake, including: flat knitting, cross knitting, cone laying, buckle winding, coiling, tying and stringing. Craft products not only have strong practicability, but also have strong artistry! However, with the improvement of people's living standards, the abandonment of straw products has greatly limited the development of straw crafts.
