Shiyan Dragon Whisker Grass
Dragon Whisker Grass is a famous local specialty of Shiyan City. It is often referred to as one of “Shiyan’s Three Treasures,” along with corn and sweet potatoes. The leaves of Shiyan Dragon Whisker Grass are narrow, soft, long-fibered, and strong in tensile strength, with a silicon content that is 3% lower than that of ordinary dragon whisker grass, making it one of the best varieties in China. This versatile grass is widely used—for example, mats woven from it are exported to European and American countries. It is also a high-quality raw material for making ordinary white paper, typewriter paper, carbon paper, and various types of premium industrial paper.
