With the skilled rush knitting techniques, the masters can make the “food covers” with the common rush. Recently, the “Silver Light” volunteer group of the Jishigang Town held a “intangible cultural heritage class” at the Xinhoutu Bridge Village, inviting some rush knitting masters to teach over 30 young volunteers the techniques of rush knitting.
