It has been 18 years since the establishment of the Small Shanghai Folk Culture Exhibition by Zhoupu Town on the Small Shanghai Pedestrian Street during the Chinese New Year in 2005. During the 18 years of festivals, a total of 60 sessions of the Little Shanghai Folk Culture Exhibition were held here. Many endangered traditional folk cultures have been passed down at the Small Shanghai Folk Culture Exhibition, where many folk artists shine brightly. As far as the Dragon Boat Festival culture is concerned, the team here wrapped Zongzi once came to the No. 1 Food Store on the Nanjing Road Walkway in Shanghai to perform the skills of wrapping Zhoupu local zongzi, which was surrounded three floors inside and three floors outside by viewers. That day, Shanghai's first large zongzi was born here - the Zhoupu Luopu zongzi weighing over 3000 grams.
Zhou Peiqi and 12 other old mothers were wearing uniform homespun headscarves and homespun clothes, with red silk ribbons tied around their waists. The red waist drum on their chest thumped joyfully, revealing a thick and vigorous local flavor. The scene of passion made tourists stop to watch. Several elderly rural mothers performed weaving old cloth, spinning, and weaving old cloth straps in front of a weaving machine a hundred years ago. Wearing old cloth clothes, Mrs. Lu Binguan was busy shuttling and weaving, with quick movements.
