Rush bags
Rush bags are woven from bulrush and specially used for packing salt at various salt fields in the Lianghuai region. They are handmade products by farming families around Shili, Xianzhen Town. In the past, there was a saying of “rush bags piled up like clouds” (“Pu Ling Lian Yun”), referring to the grand sight of rush bags heaped high. Nowadays, these bags are uniformly purchased by supply and marketing cooperatives and sold to places such as Shanghai, Nantong, and Shandong, where they are used for packing enamelware and fruits.
