The twelve pieces of petal-like cloth are knitted together, sybmbolizing that love and happiness stay with every month of a year. However as rapid industrialization proceeds, the traditional hand-made craftwork of Xiuqiu is facing the danger of fading away. Jiuzhou Village is one of the last places where a complex of Xiuqiu making crafts still exist.
