Lunan's Relics: Ancient Xue Pankou

Pan buckle, also known as Pan button, Pan flower button, and button loop. It is a unique traditional handmade clothing component in China and an iconic intangible cultural heritage craft of Chinese clothing. In the old days, when a Shandong woman got married, her wedding dress must be equipped with hand-made buckles; gentry's gowns and everyday clothes were all fastened with buckles. It is not only a practical clothing component, but also a concrete carrier of folk etiquette and family tradition in Southern Shandong. After the popularity of buttons in modern industrialization, this craft gradually declined. Now, with the integrity and innovation of the new generation of craftsmen, it has evolved into national-style cultural creations such as brooches, bookmarks, and dolls, allowing the millennium-old Xuedi ingenuity to continue to circulate in the new era.
