Fish shuttle is an item that often appears in the decoration of traditional concierge in China. Like bows, fans and lanterns, it is one of the decorations in front of the door. Fish shuttle is usually woven from reeds, which has certain traditional aesthetic and cultural connotations. Its appearance can be traced back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but in modern times, it is increasingly used as an ornament at home.

Fish spindles also have different symbolic meanings. In folklore, the fish shuttle is regarded as a prop to exorcise evil spirits, which has the functions of exorcising evil spirits, eliminating diseases, geomantic omen and so on, and is widely used in folk activities such as offering sacrifices and expelling disasters. At the same time, the fish shuttle also symbolizes people's wishes and expectations, hoping that they and their families can be healthy and auspicious. Therefore, putting fish shuttles at home can not only beautify the environment, but also play a certain role in blessing.

Today, the fish shuttle still plays an important role in many traditional folk festivals, weddings and other activities. During the Spring Festival, many people will hang a curtain with red fish in front of their doors to ward off evil spirits and drive away happiness. At weddings, reed-woven fish shuttles are often used as decorations such as candy boxes to add festive atmosphere to the scene. Fish shuttle plays an irreplaceable role in folk culture because of its special cultural connotation and symbolic significance, and it has been passed down continuously.
