Seven chapters of folk stories about Laizhou straw weaving

——Epics of Jiaodong engraved in the wheat waves

I. “The Song of the Braids”

A farmer in Shahe looked at the wheat field and suddenly saw a village girl with long black hair

Three grass stems imitated cloud-like hair, and ten fingers flew to weave human figures

The sun and the moon were hidden in the herringbone pattern, and the thousand-year-old craft began

From then on, Laizhou was full of ingenuity, and the grass tip could write on the heaven and earth

II. “Twelve Styles of Pinching Braids”

Three grasses rose to determine the fate of the world, and five strands of grass locked the wind and clouds

Seven strings played the waves of the Yellow River, nine turns Weaving into Taishan pattern

The centipede’s line is jagged and sharp, and the dragon breaks through the sky and runs like lightning

The old craftsman has thousands of skills in his sleeves, and the wheat straw can sing the sound of the phoenix

3. “Sulfur Quenching Grass Secret”

Wearing a straw helmet in the scorching sun in May, sweat soaked in the wheat fragrance and stained fingerprints

Combing the grass is like combing the hair, and the sulfur smoke makes the moonlight new

Removing all the rough skin and leaving the jade bones, creating flat edges and corners to show the craftsmanship

Don’t say this thing is of humble origin, the Wan Guo booth won the championship

4. “Corn Nirvana Fu”

The autumn harvest is full of golden waves, and the skillful hands turn the stone into Colorful clothes

Flat weaving forms the Confucian bones, twisted weaving dances out the wildness of the Wei and Jin Dynasties

Chains link the tripods of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and horse lotus piles rest on the light of the Han and Tang Dynasties

Feeding horses under the stove yesterday, busy with fashion shows in Paris today

V. “Pattern Totem Spectrum”

The fan gently shakes the lotus breeze, and the sieve nets the sunset

Chicken claw flowers bloom and attract butterflies, and pepper buckles lock up the memories of the past

Nails and rivets seal the wisdom of ancestors, and buckles tighten the mystery of time

Hundreds of patterns and hundreds of histories, straw braids can carry the Spring and Autumn pen

Six, “Panama Expedition”

The 1911 Revolution swept across the world, and Laizhou straw braids crossed the ocean.

Shahe white is softer than cloud silk, and saw stripes are as sharp as swords.

The World Expo shocked everyone, and the gold medal went to Jiaodong Township.

From then on, the world knew the rhythm of grass, and the braid merchants laughed at the Pacific Ocean.

VII. “Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritance Order”

Learn the Huizi pattern by the stage, and practice the wave marks on the kang.

The girl hides a unique skill at the bottom of the box, and the old woman teaches the mysterious door under the lamp.

Even if there are machines to replace the dexterity of hands, it is difficult to replace the warmth between the fingers.

Look at corn mixed with leather, the thousand-year-old art is in spring again
