What does Chaoshan basket mean?

Picking flower baskets is a unique way of love in Xinjiang, Wanrong, Jishan and Hejin counties in Qiu Yun mountainous area and Shannan area. In China, all ethnic groups have their own marriage customs with strong national characteristics. Choosing a flower basket is love at first sight, and it is also an ancient marriage custom. The flower basket is made of birch shavings, straw and all kinds of colored paper, which are tied and connected. Its practice is more particular: first make two circles with equal diameters with birch shavings, then make two concentric crosses with straw, one big and one small, the length of the big cross is the sum of the diameter and height of the circle, and then add a dog's tooth; The length of the small cross is the diameter of the circle, plus a dog's tooth. Then overlap the circle with two concentric crosses, one side of the circle should coincide with the center of the double cross, and stick paper flowers in the center of the double cross, and then tie the long cross straw skin to the circle with colored paper strips. Then, two symmetrical dog teeth are staggered and locked relative to each other (symbolizing the embrace of men and women), and then a red rope (thread) passes through the center of the cross to make the details of this flower basket. Finally, the flower basket is a real flower basket with unpaired ears made of wheat straw knots and colored paper trays at the bottom.
