Temple Street: traditional wedding supplies shine
In recent years, many young couples who are getting married still choose to incorporate traditional wedding items into their ceremonies. These include handcrafted leather cases, jewelry boxes, red-painted baskets, red-painted poles, and even wooden barrels for descendants. In Temple Street, several shops specialize in producing and selling these traditional wedding supplies. Among them are two well-known households—Shi Xin Yue and Song Zhu Hong.
Shi Xin Yue, 49 years old, is a master of handmade red-painted baskets and other traditional wedding items. His flagship products are the genuine handmade leather cases and jewelry boxes. According to him, a high-quality basket can cost nearly 2,000 yuan, while a top-tier leather case may reach 2,600 yuan. Over the past five to six years, more young people have been choosing these traditional items for their weddings, which has significantly boosted his business.
Shi Xin Yue learned the craft from a master at the Buddhist temple when he was 19. He has since refined the techniques, making the craftsmanship more sophisticated over time. His workshop is located on the second floor above his shop. There are four leather cases waiting to be painted, along with more than ten jewelry boxes of various sizes. The cowhide boxes are made from Chinese fir wood, with bamboo tenons connecting the pieces—no iron nails are used, ensuring a tight and durable structure. A layer of cowhide is then added on the outside. The glue used is natural, not chemical-based. The jewelry boxes are crafted from camphor wood, and according to Shi Xin Yue, these items have gained a certain level of fame.
Song Zhu Hong, known as the "weaver," runs her own shop where she uses a simple long bench and small stool to operate a traditional "ribbon machine." She weaves colorful wedding ribbons using age-old techniques. She has been weaving ribbons since she was eight years old, and now, at nearly 60, she still produces around 20 to 30 meters of ribbon daily. She rolls it onto a bobbin stick and displays it in a small glass case for sale.
With the ongoing renovation of Buddha Street, which now features pebbles and quartzite, and the increasing number of tourists visiting the ancient town, traditional wedding supplies are becoming more popular. As a result, these unique crafts are finding new life and will continue to flourish in the streets.
