First, draw a circle on a4 paper as the outline of hydrangea. We should be careful not to draw this part too big, because its size directly determines the size of the hydrangea that can be drawn. Then draw a small rectangle on the top, bottom, left and right of the circle.

Then draw a rectangular hydrangea ribbon. When we draw the ribbon of the show ball, we should pay attention to the fluttering direction of the ribbon, which should be the same direction. Then draw an hourglass shape in the circle. Finally, draw an hourglass shape.

Hydrangea is usually made of colored embroidery and is a common mascot in China. In ancient China, there was a custom in some places that when a girl got married, it was arranged for suitors to gather under the Xiulou on a certain day (usually the 15th of the first month or the 15th of August).

The girl throws a hydrangea, and whoever gets the hydrangea can become the girl's husband. Of course, girls usually look at the right person and throw hydrangeas at him for him to find. In many places, a hydrangea is tied on the top of the bride's sedan chair, which means good luck.

There is a beautiful legend about hydrangea in Zhuangxiang. It is about a poor family living in a small village under the old town of Jiuzhou in Jingxi County more than 800 years ago. Adi, the son of a poor family, fell in love with Axiu, a girl from a neighboring village.

Axiu is beautiful and kind, and deeply loves her honest, hardworking and brave brother. One spring, when Axiu was at the fair, he was attracted by a rich and powerful villain in the town. He wanted to marry Axiu. Axiu threatened to die, but he refused.
