There was one story that we could tell from. The legend said that
a child fell in a faint by the side of rice fields from the scorching
sun one day, there flew a huge butterfly blocking the sunshine with
its twin wings, and the little child was saved. After that, women
embroidered butterflies and rice paddies on baby carriers, passing
down from the old generation to the younger generation, thus it became
the traditional motifs. |
