In the long river of beverage culture, the straw, as a small supporting role, has a unique history and cultural inheritance. The paper straw, but also bearing the imprint of human wisdom and social development, contains a rich story.

   Tracing the origins of straws, we can go back more than 1,200 years to China. The word "Lu wine" in the poem written by the poet Du Fu when he sent Du Ya off is the wine sucked by the reed rod inserted in the wine barrel, which is to use the plant stem as a natural straw, which can be described as the prototype of the straw. This way of drinking with reed sticks has been inherited in the Qiang and Miao ethnic minority areas, and has become their unique tradition of hospitality, highlighting the charm of national culture.

   In 1888, Marvin Stone, an American cigarette manufacturer, was inspired by cigarettes and invented paper straws, opening a new era of straws. At that time, the paper straw was not only a practical drink tool, but also represented people's pursuit of quality of life and convenience during the Industrial Revolution. It has gradually become popular in Europe and the United States, becoming a common collocation of coffee, soda and other drinks, but also integrated into the local consumer culture and lifestyle.

  With the development of society, the cultural connotation of paper straws is also continuously enriched. In today's increasing awareness of environmental protection, paper straws have once again become the focus of attention. Many well-known beverage brands, from Starbucks to Michelle Ice City, have promoted the use of paper straws globally, which not only leads the trend of environmental protection in the beverage industry, but also makes the environmental protection culture contained in paper straws more widely spread. The environmental protection concept it represents is highly consistent with the values of pursuing sustainable development in modern society, which is not only to meet the needs of drinking, but also to practice environmental responsibility with practical actions.

   On the road of cultural inheritance and innovation, the paper straw has witnessed the change of human life style from ancient times to modern times;

  From the simple use of natural resources to the profound reflection on the concept of environmental protection;

    It connects the cultural traditions of different regions and nations, and becomes a small link for multi-cultural exchange and integration.

    It also inspires us to enjoy modern life at the same time, do not forget to inherit and carry forward the excellent cultural traditions, with innovative thinking and action, to contribute to the construction of a better future.
