Achnatherum splendens is one of the most unusual and unusual plants, only because it can be found everywhere in low-lying valleys, on the banks of lakes and rivers, on the ridges of fields, etc. It is such an unusual plant, but in the hands of the Jiayuguan people it is no longer unusual.

        As early as the construction of the Great Wall at Jiayuguan, achnatherum splendens was already being fully utilised. The wall was built by digging a short trench in the ground and laying a foundation of achnatherum splendens and rose willows, followed by a layer of sand and gravel, which made the wall very strong.Generations of Jiayuguan people have since continued to explore and weave them into baskets, mats, straw ropes, brooms and other everyday utensils.Nowadays, the craft of achnatherum splendens straw weaving is developing towards art and culture, and Jiayuguan achnatherum splendens straw weaving has long been listed as a representative project of the provincial non-heritage.
