Rattan-armored soldiers were a legendary elite troop in the late Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms period of ancient China. (More than 1,700 years ago)

They wore sturdy armor woven purely from natural rattan vines. 

This special rattan armor was lightweight, tough, waterproof and flexible, allowing soldiers to move freely in mountainous and wetland battlefields. 

It could effectively defend against cold weapons such as swords, spears and arrows, granting them extraordinary combat advantages in jungle wars.

Originating from the southern ethnic tribes, this unique rattan weaving craft was widely used to make battlefield defensive equipment back then. 

Famous in history for their fearless fighting power, rattan-armored soldiers became a distinctive symbol of ancient Chinese military culture and traditional rattan craft application.

Nowadays, the time-honored rattan weaving technique that created rattan armor has been preserved as precious intangible cultural heritage, carrying forward the wisdom and craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen.
