Hello lhizza06, weaving products are hand-woven grass, bamboo, willow, rattan, palm, jute and straw articles for daily use. Weaving materials are abundant, to a degree. Laborers learned to obtain materials from local sources a long time ago. They weave a variety of practical supplies and art displays with their deft hands. The technology is exquisite, the assortment is plentiful, the style is novel, and the modeling is pleasing to the eye. These daily-use articles brim with simple and natural beauty. More information and picture please see http://www.chinatravel.com/facts/chinese-arts/chinese-weaving-craft.htm

How similar is daily life in ancient China like that of today?

maken replied at 2008-3-19 21:15:00

It is totally different to live in ancient China and today. One can not imagine what people lived in the past. But in my opinion, people in ancient China are very kind and deligence. They study very hard and achieve more in their personal morality and elegence. They live in a harmonious envirionment and society.
