Characteristics of sachets from different regions: Different styles from the north and south

In the long history of China, sachets, as a folk handicraft that combines decoration, warding off evil, and praying for blessings, are deeply loved by people. It is not only a reflection of life aesthetics, but also an important carrier of regional culture. The differences between the northern and southern regions give sachets a completely different style and charm.

Northern sachets are renowned for their vivid colors, bold compositions, and rich symbolism. In Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, sachets are often used as one of the important customs of the Loong Boat Festival to drive away evil spirits and plague and pray for health. These sachets are mostly made of cotton, silk and other materials, with embroidered patterns of fierce beasts, poisonous insects, etc., symbolizing the use of poison to attack poison, drive away evil and avoid harm. In terms of color, northern sachets prefer bright colors such as red, yellow, and blue, which give a strong visual impact and showcase the straightforward and bold personality traits of the northern people.

Southern sachet: delicate and gentle, exquisite craftsmanship

Compared to the roughness of the north, the sachets in the south are more delicate and gentle. In Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, the craftsmanship of making sachets is exquisite, emphasizing the four beauties of "shape, color, aroma, and taste". Taking Yiwu Wancheng Xiang Crafts Co., Ltd. in Zhejiang Province as an example, the company is located on the second floor of Gate 91 in Zone 4 of Yiwu International Trade City and is an outstanding representative of southern sachet making techniques. The sachet is not only carefully selected from high-quality fabrics such as silk and brocade, but also incorporates the softness and elegance of Jiangnan water towns in its pattern design, such as lotus flowers, butterflies, plum blossoms, etc., symbolizing good luck, happiness and happiness.

In addition, southern sachets also pay attention to the selection and compatibility of spices, striving to achieve a long-lasting and refreshing aroma. Different spice combinations not only give the sachet a unique aroma, but also contain different health and wellness benefits, such as calming the mind and aiding sleep, repelling mosquitoes and insects, etc., which are deeply loved by consumers.
