Fastening strips of red cloth to flower stems
People cut colorful cloth into pieces and tied them to the stems of flowers as streamers, which is called "Shang Hong", as a protection of flowers. If the stems of certain flowers were too thin to stand a piece of red cloth, people would plug a thin bamboo stick in the flower pot and tie a piece of red cloth to the stick.
