Wickerwork is the "root and soul" of the Huangshan Culture of Luozhuang 
District, Linyi, Shandong.

The art of Huangshan wicker weaving has been passed down for thousands of 
years, carrying a deep and ancient charm. As early as the 1970s, skilled 
artisans from Luozhuang District utilized advanced techniques such as "jing 
bian" (warping), "li bian" (weaving), and "ning bian" (twisting) to export 
wickerwork crafts to the international market, pioneering a new path for the 
development of the wickerwork industry.

The Huangshan wickerwork in Luozhuang District is a representative intangible 
cultural heritage project at the municipal level, akin to aged wine that grows 
more renowned with time. Tradition entails both inheritance and innovation. To 
bolster the wickerwork industry, Luozhuang District has prioritized the 
well-being of businesses and citizens by establishing a flagship, 
citizen-centered service center accommodating 108 government service items, 
including administrative reviews and approvals, aimed at enhancing and 
elevating the business environment. Embracing ecotourism as a platform, the 
district has established a labor education and research base, along with a 
wickerwork experiential site, expanding the Huangshan wickerwork industry from 
mere product sales to educational tours. Leveraging "Internet+" as a tool, it 
has revolutionized marketing methods, expanded into e-commerce, and cultivated 
new economic growth points in Luozhuang. Driven by the development of four 
industrial parks, the district aims to build a renowned business and trade 
zone, enhancing the scale, strength, and quality of the four leading 
industries, including wickerwork, while nurturing over 300 enterprises and 
employing over 10,000 individuals.
