Folding willows, when the ancients left, had the custom of folding willows and giving each other gifts. It first appeared in the first volume of Zheyang Liuge written by Han Yuefu. The word "breaking willow" means "parting". In ancient China, once relatives and friends were separated, people who saw them off always folded a wicker for travelers. Long strips refer to willow branches, which are always used to express feelings of parting. Willow is homophonic with staying, and folding willow means staying.

With the spring rain, I broke the willow branches for you and shed tears at the window for you.
