Wanknot gourd

Skills were widely circulated in the Qing Dynasty, but most of them were lost in the Republic of China. Chu Yuancai re-excavated and reorganized the gourd-knotting technique and made some innovations, which should be said to occupy an important position in the domestic gourd-knotting technique. Both Qtv and Jining TV have reported on Chu Yuancai's art of knot gourd. Chu Yuancai had two apprentices, and Zhao Yingang was one of them. Wanjie gourd is very popular in the market and the price is relatively high. If it is industrialized, it is expected to have good economic benefits and development prospects. Wanjie gourd originated in the Tang Dynasty, prevailed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and was lost in the Republic of China. The Chinese Gourd Culture Museum has preserved the 10,000-knot gourd handed down from the Qing Dynasty. Zhao Yingang devoted himself to the study of multi-section gourd which has been lost in China for nearly a hundred years. His works have high ornamental and collection value, and the market potential is very broad, which is favored by the majority of gourd lovers and collectors.
