Discover the traditional process behind these ancient techniques…

The technique of weaving and plaiting using cattails as raw material is not
known to everyone. In fact, a little county of Hubin in northern China is the
only place in the country where you can still discover this craft.

1. Collection of raw materials
In summer, men from the countryside will go together to collect the cattails
that grow in shallow waters of the lakes, rivers and wetlands, where the
environment has been preserved in its pristine state.

2. Preparation of materials
When transported from the wild to the villages, women of the family will then
take the fresh grass and lay them out in front of the houses or on the country
road to dry them out by natural sunlight. The dried plants will be carefully
filtered according to quality, and then stored in the farmers’ houses.

3. Weaving and plaiting
Every day, women will take out some small portion of the plant and soak it in
clean water so that it is soft enough for weaving. For women in Hubin, it is
their way of living: rise early to make breakfast for the family, then those in
the neighborhood will gather in a chosen woman’s house or in the Hutong (a
traditional Chinese alleyway) to work together, weaving all kinds of crafts
from cattails. While working, they bond – talking, laughing and gossiping. This
tradition is passed from mothers to daughters, making the women of Hubin both
financially independent and socially bonded.
