The rivers in Dongping are criss-crossed, the mountains are widely distributed, the beaches and slopes are mostly suitable for the growth of shrubs, and there are many shrubs such as willow and Bai La, which are rich in drilling resources and high in yield, providing ideal material conditions for the development of drilling industry; At the same time, as a large agricultural county, our county is also an important wheat and corn producing area, which provides superior resource conditions for the development of straw woven products with straw and corn husk as raw materials.
According to textual research, the appearance of hand-woven fabrics in China may be earlier than pottery. Judging from the unearthed cultural relics, the bamboo wares of the Warring States period and the colored baskets of the Han Dynasty were all beautifully made. Our county has a long history. It is said that a kind of fabric appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, people just used filling strips to weave some production tools or household appliances, such as baskets, dustpans and back baskets. With exquisite knitting technology, elegant style and durable products. People mainly write them for their own use, and sell the extra ones. After the late Qing Dynasty, the strip weaving industry developed to a certain extent, with more varieties and expanded production scale. In addition to self-production, it is also sold as a commodity inside and outside the province. Many farmers in mountainous areas and water towns make a living by weaving strips. There is a busy scene of "there are no idle women in Shilichang Village, and every family is a weaver". After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), with the support and advocacy of the Party and the government, the straw weaving and strip weaving industries flourished and the weaving technology made rapid progress. 1958, Wang shanfen, a young woman from Ximen village, Zhou town, attended the provincial heroes' meeting and was praised for her amazing achievement in weaving 1 puff in 15 minutes. In 1950s and 1960s, there were large-scale weaving production in counties, towns, Peng Ji towns and Shahezhan towns. In order to improve the quality, weaving is generally carried out in the cellar, because the underground is wet, which can keep the goods or straw soft, while weaving in the cellar can keep warm in winter. During this period, there were as many as 100 varieties of straw and strip fabrics, which were deeply loved by foreign businessmen because of their softness, brightness, simplicity and generosity. Such as baskets, flower baskets, sofas, coffee tables, fruit bowls, vases and other exquisite household furnishings and daily necessities are exported to Southeast Asian countries and Hong Kong and Macao, winning wide acclaim and getting a lot of foreign exchange, which strongly supports national construction.
