In Yushutai Town, Lishu County, Siping City, Jilin Province, 63 year old Rong Fengming is known as the "broom king" from afar. Rong Fengming's family has inherited the traditional broom weaving technique for generations, and it has been passed down to him for the sixth generation. A giant broom that is over four meters tall, and a pocket sized broom that can be played with, appreciated, and used as an accessory. Various types of brooms are woven under his skillful hands.
The broom has a long history in China and was invented by ancient working people as a cleaning tool. With the development of the times, brooms are not only used as tools for daily dust removal, but also endowed with auspicious meanings such as "sweeping the old and welcoming the new". The Dragon Boat Festival has a traditional custom of hanging small brooms outside the door, symbolizing the removal of dirt and welcoming the new year with blessings.
Rong Fengming has been learning traditional broom weaving from his ancestors since childhood. On the basis of inheriting traditional skills, he designed craft broom categories such as "Five Blessings Sweep", "Auspicious Luck Sweep", and "Auspicious Luck Sweep". He also founded the "Art Auspicious Luck Craft Broom" brand. At the same time, he also explored and organized broom culture, and taught his apprentices skills for free. In 2019, the production technique of Yixiangyun broom was selected as a representative project of the third batch of municipal intangible cultural heritage in Siping City.
From traditional daily tools to exquisite handicrafts, the small broom transformed into a magnificent form in the hands of Rong Fengming.
"Sweeping brings good luck and rewards, sweeping away obstacles without worries. The craft broom, which carries beautiful meanings, is now loved by more people, and traditional skills are also being inherited and developed through progress and improvement." said Rong Fengming.
