Red vine bracelet

Red vine bracelet

　　Red vine bracelets are made from a rare and unique red vine that grows deep in the Danglika Mountains. This red vine thrives on the sheer cliffs of the shaded slopes of high mountains. After being harvested, it must be air-dried in the shade; if exposed to direct sunlight after picking, it will immediately harden into an inflexible stick and become impossible to craft. It is said that in areas where this red vine grows, it will die if people live nearby or engage in long-term activity, making its harvesting extremely difficult. Woven from vines, these bracelets are mostly worn by women, who use them to signal to others the bravery of their men and the devotion they receive in return (Nujiang).
