Zigong City is a hilly area. In the past, merchants mostly carried heavy burdens to sell goods in Zigong. Merchants who sell porcelain such as bowls, spoons, plates, plates, etc., they tie these ordinary porcelain into various palace lanterns and other shapes, and then pick them out for sale. In this way, it is good-looking and can attract customers; secondly, it is convenient to walk and it is not easy to break the porcelain. Over time, piercing lanterns with porcelain has become a unique skill of Zigong porcelain merchants.
For porcelain plates, small porcelain bowls, porcelain wine glasses and other round porcelains, they are fixed in the shape of "rice", which can effectively prevent the porcelain from falling off. Slip knots are used when knotting. Usually multiple porcelains are fixed together. The weight tightens the slipknot.
