As a housekeeping craft for rural women, there are still thousands of people engaged in the Langya grass weaving technique. In order to take care of the elderly and children at home, they stick to the weaving technique and earn money for their families with their skills. With the changes of the times, the scene of “every family grows grass and every household weaves” has become a cultural memory, and family weaving has gradually been replaced by formal enterprises.

In 2021, the Langya grass weaving technique was included in the list of representative projects of the fifth batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage in Shandong Province.
