The family moved to the present Zhenghong township of Binhai county due to the “Hongwu Dispersal” initiated by Zhu Yuanzhang. Juncun (formerly Houzhuang) lives in the territory. This group of Liu clan did not understand farming techniques and land. There was only one weaving technique and life could not be sustained. Soon after, they discovered that there were rich tamarisks in the ditch, canopy, road, and piles around the Weihe River. They were ecstatic, and they used it to weave baskets, willow baskets, buckets, Daxu and other production and livelihoods. Supplies, go home to sell. Later, Liu's children continued to innovate, weaving a variety of arts and crafts such as willow boxes, suitcases, and needlework, and carrying forward the craftsmanship of the willows handed down by their ancestors.
