Wicker weaving shows the original art

Many years ago, the rural people used bamboo rattan, wicker and other handwoven, and they knitted bamboo baskets, wicker baskets, bamboo steamer, and other utensils such as sieve, fish basket, broom and so on. At that time, there would be a few people in this trade. With the changes of The Times and the development of society, people have gradually forgotten the primitive manual art, and fewer and fewer people will be able to do this. In jianhu county, the business of weaving bamboo baskets is almost extinct. In the first few days, in the east of huiwen, I saw an old man showing off his life in a busy market. He was so skilled that he attracted me with a focused look. He was busy, but the old man managed to keep his roots in order.

Old man called Pan Peiyu, 60 years old this year, the trade is his family's ancestral, his grandfather was the breadwinner, his father with his grandfather, too down old pan have been exposed to, teenage, weaving skills is a must, loved by citizen. At that time, these things to sell cheap, weaving wicker and bamboo rattan, wicker is cut down from the trees in the spring, bamboo rattan will choose to go outside, every winter, old pan to zhejiang purchasing rattan, weaving the required in preparation for the coming year. In the middle of the year, autumn is the best season of his business, because of the flat load and the wicker basket, etc.

Today, the primitive art is almost forgotten in the modern life, but pan is willing to pass on this manual work in the noisy city, and make it vivid and wonderful. Pan always told us that he would make up six baskets in a single day, and that he would sell for eight or nine dollars. Enter pan's old shop, which is filled with knitwear, and even the rooftops hang all kinds of finished products, and many people come to shop for things. According to Mrs. Pan, the bamboo baskets in the shop have been better than ever since the restrictions were issued, because the bamboo baskets are naturally free of pollution and deeply loved by customers.
