On Wikipedia, the solanum bag is defined as follows:
"Tai Ke bag, formerly known as Jia Zhi (Tai Luo: ka-tsì, sounds like "ㄍㄚㄐㄧ"), also known as Jiajianzai, Jiajianzai, eggplant bag, retro bag, is a traditional Taiwanese flavor The handbag is slightly wider at the top than the bottom, and can be used as a school bag, a document bag or a handbag. The name comes from the Japanese "かぎ編み (kagiami)", which means its weaving technique. According to legend, the eggplant bag originated in Jingliao, Houbi District, Tainan City. It was originally hand-woven from orchids and was called straw bag. With the industrialization of Taiwan, it was later changed to a translucent hand bag made of nylon mesh. . "
For a long time, there have been different opinions as to what this bag should be called. At present, most of the government units and private organizations in Taiwan use "Egggarbine Zhibao" as the main name. However, there has also been such a discussion on the Internet, and some people have suggested that "jiaju" (jiā-jǔ) should be the correct name. Because the word "Jia" represents the newly born reed, and the word "Tiao" represents the straw mat lined in shoes in ancient times, these two words are also related to the most primitive raw material for making eggplant bags - orchid. And "Egggarbage bag" is just to take its homonym, which is convenient for reading and writing.

It is said that the material of the eggplant bag is similar to the net used by fishermen, so it is called this; and Koreans currently call it "대만전통가방", which means traditional Taiwanese bag; English is the pronunciation of Taiwanese , under the name "KA-TSI". However, no matter what its name is, the eggplant bag, as a common object of Taiwanese, has always played a low-key and simple role in our daily life.
