Brown weaving is a traditional folk craft of the Han nationality, mainly popular in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Brown weaving is divided into daily life and arts and crafts. The brown weaving of daily life is relatively rough and cannot form its own style and faction. The brown weaving of arts and crafts is more delicate and has a strong artistic nature. Changsha palm weaving is a national intangible cultural heritage, and it is also one of the few varieties of arts and crafts brown weaving. The raw materials of palm weaving are mainly palm leaves, which need to go through multiple processes such as high-temperature cooking and drying, which are anti-mildew and anti-corrosion, and can be stored for a long time.

The fame of Changsha brown weaving is slightly lower than that of Hunan embroidery, but it also has good artistic value. Changsha palm is divided into pure leaf school and full palm school. Pure leaf school refers to the simple use of palm leaves to complete the creation of the form of palm weaving, suitable for weaving insects, fish, birds and beasts and other small animals, with the characteristics of small and exquisite. The all-palm pie uses the stems, stems, leaves, branches and seeds, dry clothes, flower buds and other parts of the palm tree as materials to make large-scale palm weaving, and the style is more bold. The theme of the brown weaving of the whole brown school is generally a certain story, such as "the praying mantis catches the cicada", "Wu Song fights the tiger" and so on.

As a brown weaving of arts and crafts, the varieties of Changsha brown weaving purchased by tourists can be divided into two categories: daily necessities and brown weaving toys. Everyday items include shoes, fans, bags, hats, mats, boxes, etc., while toys are generally small animal models made of brown braiding. Both types of palm weaving include pure leaf pie and full palm pie related processes.

In addition, tourists can also purchase on e-commerce platforms.
