Tiger shoes, tiger hat, cloth tiger and other handicrafts. It has a long history and is spread in Dagu River in Yifengdian Town. After years of evolution, although some changes have taken place in the materials and colors of these handicrafts, their primitive and original qualities have been preserved.

These handicrafts have both ornamental value and practical value. Among them, tiger-headed shoes and tiger-headed hats have different colors and styles to express different meanings because of the differences between boys and girls. Generally speaking, men are red and women are green, which means "Mrs. Red Official and Green", boys are "disease-free and disaster-free, and grow to 1", and girls become queens when they grow up. Cloth tigers can be used as home decorations and pillows for children, which are both beautiful and comfortable, giving parents good wishes for their children's growth. Only Maogongbo Village and Sun Jia Village still exist in this town, and only a few elderly women have mastered this skill.
