Huaiyuan rattan weaving began in the Three Kingdoms period and has a long history. Huaiyuan Town is also known as the "hometown of rattan weaving". The origin of Huaiyuan rattan weaving is recorded in detail in "Huayang Guozhi" by Chang Qu, a historian from Chongzhou in the Jin Dynasty: "During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a craftsman named Ma from Hanyuan (Huaiyuan Town was formerly known as Hanyuan County) in Shu. He soaked and polished mountain rattan, dried high mountain green bamboo in the shade as a frame, and tightly wound it into shape. He used local methods to fumigate it, and the color was golden and shaped like a dragon bed. At first, it was used for self-entertainment. Later, neighbors knew about it and thought it was clever. They sold it for money and entered the market as a business." Huaiyuan rattan weaving has always appeared in the form of a sideline for farmers' families. Most of the products are small household utensils such as baskets and baskets, which are mainly used for self-use and nearby exchanges.
