Xingyang specialty

Hat braid

Xingyang area in Zhengzhou is the traditional origin of straw hat braids. Straw hat braids, also known as wheat straw braids, are handmade works of art made of wheat straw by peasant women. According to the Records of Xingyang County, "The braiding of straw hats began with the daughter of Dong in the Southern Tang Dynasty." There are many tourists wearing straw hats in the riverside scene at Qingming Festival, which shows that straw hats were very popular in the Northern Song Dynasty. The Records of Xingyang County, compiled in the seventh year of the Republic of China (19 18), recorded that "a large number of straw hats were exported every year, and they were changed into thin braids and popularized." Xingyang straw hat braid is known as "bridge braid" in the international market. According to records, the bridge braid originated from the ancient star Huiji Bridge, so it is called "bridge braid". Li Xingzhi, honorary prime minister of Henan Producers Association, and Chen Ziyuan, honorary president of Henan Producers Association, wrote in a magazine that "Qiaobian has participated in Panama Competition many times and enjoys a high reputation in Britain, the United States and Japan."

Before the middle of Qing Dynasty, China was an ancient natural economy, and farmers knitted hats only for their own use or as gifts to relatives and friends. It is said that the new wife will go back to her mother's house to get some straw hats for her husband in the first summer, which is called "returning hats", which has formed a custom among Xingyang people. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of wheat varieties, wheat straw gradually becomes shorter from long to short, and the raw materials of straw woven products are scarce. People no longer pinch straw, and straw hats are replaced by plastic products. Straw hats and wheat straw braids have become history.
