You can put a stamp on it, you can write an address on it and you can send it through the mail. No, it’s not a package (包裹). It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them.

One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more.

Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks (外壳) can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤) helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic.

The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year, tourists post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”.

Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut.

Xunpu has attracted wide attention online after some stars shared photos of themselves wearing a kind of headwear called Zanhuawei (簪花围).

Zanhuawei is a kind of flower headwear worn by local women, known as “the garden on the head”. It is an important part of Xunpu women’s dress culture. An old saying in Xunpu goes, “Put flowers in your hair in this life, and you’ll also be pretty in the afterlife.” There are many local people who are good at making Zanhuawei sharing their videos on social media like TikTok.   ▲ 

The tradition of wearing flowers has been part of Xunpu women’s lives since the Tang Dynasty. Xunpu is famous for its excellent seafood. When women sell their seafood at the local market, they wear flowers in their hair so buyers can easily distinguish them from sellers from nearby villages. Xunpu women are among the three major groups of fishing women in Fujian. They are known for being hard-working, warm-hearted and brave. They usually wear seasonal flowers and often present them as gifts on big days. Local people often say, “When Xunpu women put a zanhua on their heads, they express their wish for happiness, and the flowers are seen as a symbol of hope.”

Zanhuawei was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2008.
