　　Wheat straw handicrafts are one of the traditional handicrafts, with a history of over two thousand years in China's wheat straw craft. Wheat straw handicrafts are made from wheat straw as raw material, through material selection, dyeing, lamination, design, and pure handmade production. Through processes such as cutting, pasting, and ironing, lifelike handicrafts such as animals, flowers and birds, pavilions, etc. are produced, with bright colors, diverse varieties, and varying sizes. The high level of technology and immortal artistic value fully reflect the outstanding talent and artistic creativity of the working people.

　　Wheat straw handicrafts have unique artistic qualities and cultural characteristics, which can maintain their texture for thousands of years without aging or fading, and have high ornamental and collectible value. Traditional folk handicrafts have exquisite craftsmanship, and most of the handicrafts are amorphous products with strong originality. Due to strict handmade craftsmanship, most of the older artists retire from the wheat straw handicraft industry. At the same time, the number of people willing to learn and inherit wheat straw handicraft skills has been decreasing year by year, and protecting and inheriting wheat straw handicraft skills is worrying.
