It uses high-quality wheat straw, takes advantage of the natural luster and texture of wheat straw itself, and goes through more than a dozen processing steps such as boiling, scraping, smoking, making, ironing, and bleaching. It absorbs and draws on many artistic techniques such as Chinese painting, printmaking, paper cutting, and pyrography. Heilongjiang wheat straw craft began in 1903, with its original semi-relief technique. The works are simple and elegant, magnificent and lifelike. The wheat straw paintings "Fragrance Fills the World" and "Peace and Prosperity" won the UNESCO Outstanding Handicraft Badge. Wheat straw crafts can be preserved for thousands of years and have strong ornamental, decorative and collection value. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.) (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
