Carpets are floor coverings made of raw materials such as cotton, wool, silk, hemp, coconut palm or chemical fibers. Including hand-planted carpets, machine-made carpets and handmade felt carpets. In a broad sense, it also includes bedding, seat cushions, wall hangings, tents, saddle mattresses, door curtains, table blankets, etc.
In the Neolithic Age, people twisted and spun threads with animal hair and woven them into thick woolen fabrics for paving the ground. The carpet fragments unearthed from the Eastern Han Dynasty tombs are typical hand-planted pile carpets. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, on the basis of inheriting the traditional carpet craftsmanship, combining the characteristics of brocade and embroidery art, a unique carpet pattern with auspicious meaning was created, and it has been spread all the time.
