"There are knots when they are not unearthed, and there is still humility in the clouds." ——(Song) Xu Tingjun "Wing Bamboo"
Bamboo, easy to purchase, easy to cut, easy to bend, easy to process, so it is favored as an important daily material.
Its "hollow" and "knotted" materials themselves also allow craftsmen and artists to make effective use of them.
The bamboo weaving process can be roughly divided into three processes: bottoming, weaving and locking. In the weaving process, the warp and weft weaving method is the mainstay.
On the basis of warp and weft weaving, various techniques can also be interspersed, such as: untangling, insertion, wearing, cutting, locking, nailing, tying, sleeve, etc., so that the pattern color of the weaving is varied.

With the development of society, handicrafts are constantly innovating. The aesthetic requirements and standards of modern people for the design of bamboo weaving products are no longer stuck in the traditional form, but integrate more modern innovative thinking and modern elements.
