Xuan Cai belongs to the phylum Chlorophyta, which is born on rocks in the sea. It is dark brown, slender, soft and smooth, and perishable when exposed to fire. Generally, before Qingming Festival, fishermen usually cut it on the reef when the tide ebbs after the wind. Because the huge rocks are covered with brown fibrous seaweed, which looks like a camel, it is called "camel hair".
