In traditional Chinese and folk dance props, handkerchiefs are a common element.

On these exquisite handkerchiefs, various patterns and characters, such as mascots, flowers, and animals, are usually embroidered.

These handkerchiefs not only have practicality but also rich cultural connotations and historical significance.

In this picture, we can see five handkerchiefs of different colors, all with a red main color and embroidered with golden decorative lines.

The design styles of these handkerchiefs vary, some using traditional embroidery techniques while others adopt modern printing technology.

The patterns and characters on these handkerchiefs reflect the auspicious meanings and folk stories in Chinese traditional culture.

One of the handkerchiefs is embroidered with the image of a small bear wearing a red hat and a blue vest.

This little bear may symbolize bravery and wisdom or be the protagonist of a folk story.

The red and blue on this handkerchief echo the overall red main color, creating a harmonious and unified visual effect.

Another handkerchief is embroidered with a white lotus flower with fan-shaped petals.

The lotus flower has a symbolic meaning of purity and elegance in Chinese culture, representing Buddhist wisdom and compassion.

The white on this handkerchief contrasts with the overall red main color, making the lotus flower image more prominent.

In addition, there is a handkerchief embroidered with the image of a butterfly, whose wings are yellow and orange.

In Chinese culture, butterflies are often used to symbolize beautiful love and happy life.

The yellow and orange on this handkerchief complement the overall red main color, making the butterfly image more vivid and lively.

In summary, these handkerchiefs are not only props in dance performances but also an important part of Chinese traditional culture.

Through their exquisite design and rich patterns, they convey the Chinese people's yearning for and pursuit of a better life.
