Pronunciation is pǒ, which means basket. It is a basket made of thin wicker or bamboo, which is often used to hold goods or food. In rural or urban alleys, people can often be seen packing food, vegetables, fruits and other items in baskets.

Introduction of shopping basket:

Basket is a very practical tool, and its knitting method is simple and easy to use. In rural areas, many families weave their own baskets for their own use. City people will also buy baskets when needed to meet their own needs.

Baskets can be used not only as tools for holding articles, but also as decorations. Some people will paint the basket with color, or embroider some patterns on the surface, and then put it in the living room, bedroom and other places as a unique decoration.

Basket making:

To choose a flat land, weave wicker or bamboo into the shape of a basket according to a certain width and length. In the process of weaving, we should keep the shape and size of the basket consistent, and at the same time pay attention to weaving wicker or bamboo together closely to avoid cracks or falling off.

After the basic shape of the basket is woven, the edge of the basket should be trimmed neatly with a knife and fixed with thin iron wire or bamboo pieces. Then, some soft cloth or grass leaves can be coated on the inner wall of the basket to increase its thermal insulation and durability.

Sasakawa's example:

1. My grandmother's family has an antique basket, which has witnessed the growth of generations in the family and is an indispensable treasure in the family. This kind of basket is made of fine wicker, with exquisite patterns on the surface, giving people a sense of simplicity and elegance. It is not only a practical tool, but also a symbol of inheriting family history and culture.

2. Mothers often fill baskets with fresh fruits and snacks to provide meticulous care for their children's health. This basket is made of bamboo strips, light and strong, and has a large capacity. Mother always keeps it in the corner of the kitchen, and whenever there is fresh food to be preserved, she will use it to store it.

In the rural market, I once saw a craftsman weaving baskets skillfully, and his exquisite skills were amazing. He chose high-quality wicker and bamboo as materials, and his hands knitted quickly, and every movement seemed so skilled and precise.

This basket is woven quickly, not only beautiful in appearance, but also very durable. The craftsman's exquisite skills and the spirit of Excellence make people admire and admire. This basket also made me have a strong interest and respect for rural handicrafts.
