Features: Folk art spread across the vast land of China is an integral part of folk culture. Folk weaving is primarily practical, closely related to the production and daily life of the people. It serves as both a tool for folk activities and a visual carrier of folk culture. The works selected in this book are mainly handicrafts made from fiber plants such as bamboo, willow, and reeds, and do not include woven items made from materials like wool, silk, or cotton thread, hence the term "folk knotting." The book provides a systematic and detailed introduction to this unique folk art, including its historical development, various types of folk knotting, and its origins in folk culture, among other aspects. It is also accompanied by dozens of precious color illustrations of folk knotting crafts, making it highly ornamental and valuable for preservation.
