Can you help me write and edit an article about dustpan? Thank you, Ken. Information about dustpans is also available.

Baskets and dustpans are commonly used agricultural tools in rural areas of Northeast China. Some people say: baskets and dustpans are sisters, baskets are sisters, dustpans are sisters; Some people say that the basket is the sun and the dustpan is the moon, because the basket is round and the dustpan is semicircular. These two tools are also used together most of the time, and the materials and knitting methods are the same. Their difference is that the size of the basket is round. The dustpan is relatively small and opens at one side. They are used for different purposes. Baskets are used for loading or drying things, while dustpans are used for dusting off shriveled grains and husks.

These two kinds of farm tools are found almost all over the country, but there is a great difference between the north and the south, and they are both suitable for using local materials. The south is mainly made of bamboo, while the north is mainly made of wicker. Because of the different materials, the weaving methods and styles are different, and the size ratio is also different.

Baskets and dustpans in Northeast China are all made of wicker, and most of them are mainly wicker. Willow, commonly known as white wicker, is also called a cop. White wicker has the characteristics of white brightness, bright in white, white in bright, soft, tough and strong. Bai Liu is generally wild in waterside wetlands in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Liaoning, Heilongjiang and other places. However, wild Bai Liu alone can no longer meet the needs of people's production and life, and many places began to cultivate Bai Liu artificially. The cultivation and production of handicrafts in Bai Liu are mainly distributed in Lu Yu, Shaanxi and other places, many of which are sold to the northeast, and there are many manufacturers specializing in wickerwork. Traditional wickerwork products are mainly woven baskets, dustpans, sewing baskets, boxes and other daily necessities for farmers, which are processed locally and sold locally. People have been planting Bai Liu for thousands of years, so it can be seen that the history of baskets and dustpans may be earlier. My hometown is Datong Town, Daqing City. When I was a child, there was a wickerwork factory in Datong, which specialized in making baskets, dustpans, wicker cans and baskets.

In the early northeast, in addition to baskets and dustpans, there were wicker cans and leisurely carts by the well. Every kang has needlework, tobacco leaves and cigarette paper.

After the reform and opening up, some wickerwork factories have developed many wickerwork handicrafts, which are exquisite in workmanship, novel in style, beautiful in shape, harmonious in color, elegant in appearance, strong in practicality and appreciation, and deeply appreciated by customers. Products include baskets, fruit bowls, laundry baskets, baby baskets, vegetable baskets, flower baskets, kennels and so on.

Although baskets and dustpans are rare in cities, they are still widely used in rural areas in Northeast China.
