Wang Park Park willow weaving technology to Mian Liu as the main raw material, supplemented by cotton, wax and other materials. From the conversation with the villagers learned that, due to the low efficiency of manual labor, coupled with the consideration of raw material costs, the village for the preparation of the most of their own plant Mianyang. "Usually when the early spring of species, the late summer can be cut down to the preparation, and can also be stored to the autumn and winter days." Wang Peixin old man pointing to the yard can be seen everywhere has been stripping the wicker side said.
