Cattail moss is a perennial herbaceous plant. As one of the famous “Three Treasures of Guandong,” it has excellent insulation properties and is highly cherished by people in mountainous regions. At first glance, cattail moss looks quite ordinary—its slender green stems and leaves grow in dense tufts, with greenish-brown flower spikes. However, for hundreds of years, this humble little plant has been closely tied to the lives of the people in the Changbai Mountain area, becoming an indispensable necessity. Every autumn, locals head up the mountains to cut cattail moss, dry it, and store it away. In winter, they stuff it inside their shoes to prevent frostbite on their feet. The northeastern region of China experiences extremely low winter temperatures, sometimes dropping as low as minus 40 or even 50 degrees Celsius, making ordinary cotton shoes inadequate for keeping warm. But when people craft boots from animal hides—known as “ula boots”—and line them with cattail moss, their feet stay warm no matter how cold it gets. Before use, the cattail moss is pounded with a wooden stick to soften it, ensuring it doesn’t hurt the feet. Winters in the Changbai Mountain area are long, so keeping warm is a well-known challenge. For laborers working outdoors every day, the relationship between cattail moss and human life is truly unique. This is the main reason why it is regarded as one of the Three Treasures of Guandong. There are many wild grasses in the northeast that resemble cattail moss in appearance, but none have better insulating properties. This conclusion comes from the hands-on experience of our ancestors, who tested various types of grass. It’s unclear who first discovered the warming capabilities of cattail moss. The secret behind its extraordinary insulation remains a mystery. It’s said that cattail moss can now be exported to earn foreign exchange, proving that it continues to be a true treasure.
