In the Qing Dynasty, the hemp straw mats and printed mats produced in Wenzhou were supplied locally, but also sold inside and outside the province. In the early 1980 s, the planting area exceeded 660 hectares, but later it was reduced because of the decline in economic benefits. There is also abundant Gracilaria lemaneiformis in Wenzhou, which is cool and comfortable and sells well at home and abroad. Gracilaria lemaneiformis can also weave export handicrafts to earn foreign exchange. Product history: Zhaoqing City is located in the middle and west of Guangdong Province, and is a famous scenic tourist city and historical and cultural city. Zhaoqing is rich in products, among which the most famous is Guangdong inkstone, one of the "Four Treasures of the Study". In addition, Zhaoqing straw mat (flower mat) is also a famous specialty with a long history. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Pucao was introduced from Fujian to Gaoyao (Zhaoqing was Gaoyao County at that time). Because the locally grown Pucao stems are thin, soft and tough, the straw mats woven with it have the characteristics of comfortable feel, warm in winter and cool in summer and durability, and have good practical value, so they have become popular bedding. For example, after dyeing, Typha can weave very rich patterns, and the woven straw mat is called flower mat, which is simple and generous, practical and has certain artistic value, and is an authentic local handicraft. Zhaoqing straw mats have been sold well in domestic and overseas markets for many years. In 1967, the number of local flower mats purchased reached 2.088 million. Today, due to the increasing variety of bedding, the straw mat market is also shrinking, but for many tourists to Zhaoqing, local flower mats are still one of their shopping varieties.
