Where do the rattan belong?

In the primitive old forest along the border between Tengchong and Myanmar, lianas are rich in a kind of tough and extremely long lianas. Its skin color is smooth, feel is smooth, elasticity is excellent, and it looks like contempt rather than contempt, so it is called rattan contempt, which is a good natural weaving material. The daily utensils of Tengchong people, such as rattan chairs and rattan boxes compiled by this method, are exquisite in technology, diverse in variety and durable, and are deeply loved by consumers in past dynasties.

Consulting ancient books, rattan weaving, a local specialty, is not only a good living appliance, but also a very strange production and even war equipment. There is a record of "Fu Jiajun" in the History of the Three Kingdoms. The so-called "Fu Jiajun" is a combat suit woven with rattan. "Crossing the river is not heavy, the water is not wet, and knives and arrows can't enter." In the past, many roads at the junction of Mingguang, Jietou and Gu Yong used Gu Teng Bridge except rivers. This kind of temporary bridge pulled out by rattan is like a net slot, swaying and enduring. People walk on it, stagger and sit on the bridge. Perhaps because of the wide use of rattan in Tengchong, the names used in ancient Tengchong were more common, such as "Tengyue" and "Tengchuan", and according to records, rattan was named after it. The word "rattan" was not refined and standardized as "rattan" until the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Thanks to its unique resource advantages and generations of hardworking and intelligent craftsmen, Tengchong is known as the "hometown of rattan weaving". Nowadays, rattan weaving technology is blooming everywhere in urban and rural areas. In addition to traditional chairs, chairs, tables and other bulk products, there are baskets, blues, boxes, boxes, flower stands, bookshelves and even a full set of living room and study furniture. It is exquisite, quaint, novel, practical and artistic, and suitable for different environments-a cold room is not luxurious, and a Chinese hall is ugly, which can be described as rich and poor Xian Yi.
