The Yiwu Furniture Fair has officially announced the rattle as its official mascot, marking a historic moment as this is the first-ever mascot for the China Furniture Trade Fair. According to the organizing committee, the rattle represents more than just a symbol—it embodies the cultural heritage of Yiwu, particularly the traditional "chicken feathers for sugar" culture. This unique tradition, which dates back centuries, involved traders carrying sugar on their shoulders and using rattles to attract customers with rhythmic sounds, creating a vibrant marketplace atmosphere.
The wooden rattle is also one of the most ancient and traditional ethnic art forms in China, making it an ideal choice for the furniture fair. As Yiwu continues to build itself as a global hub for furniture trade, the rattle serves as a powerful reminder of its rich cultural roots and entrepreneurial spirit.
"This decision was not made lightly," said Chen Jiangen, a representative from the Yiwu Exhibition Organizing Committee. "The rattle is not only a cultural icon but also a recognized traditional woodwork that has gained international recognition. It perfectly aligns with the mission of promoting Chinese craftsmanship on the global stage."
The mascot design features a wooden handle, body, and surface, reflecting the authenticity of traditional craftsmanship. The first trial version of the rattle has already been unveiled at major furniture fairs in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and High Point, where it received enthusiastic responses from both domestic and international visitors.
Looking ahead, the official mascot will undergo further refinement, with improved craftsmanship and materials to meet higher standards. The goal is to present a refined and elegant version by the end of the year, ensuring it becomes a lasting symbol of the Yiwu Furniture Fair’s brand identity and cultural significance.
