What is the history of bamboo?

The history of bamboo is 1. China is the first country in the world to study, cultivate and utilize bamboo.

1954, the Yangshao cultural site in banpo village, Xi 'an was unearthed about 6000 years ago, and the symbol of "bamboo" can be recognized on the unearthed pottery, which proves that the history of human research and utilization of bamboo in China can be traced back to a new era five or six thousand years ago. Moreover, bamboo was also found in Hemudu primitive social site in Yuyao County, Zhejiang Province 7000 years ago.

2. There are pictographs of "bamboo" and characters related to bamboo in Oracle Bone Inscriptions and inscriptions on bronze. The ancients used bamboo pieces as the carrier of words and tied them together with cowhide ropes to make a book, which is the so-called "Bian Wei".

Confucius, a great educator, was diligent in reading and broke the cowhide rope many times, which was praised as "the three wonders of Bian Wei". From the Warring States to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people used bamboo slips to write, carve and write books.

The earliest historical documents in China, the chronicle of bamboo slips, and other classics, such as Shangshu, Book of Rites and The Analects of Confucius, are all written on bamboo slips. Due to the use of bamboo slips, the recorded history of China can be traced back to Shang Dynasty, which has made great contributions to the development of China culture and the preservation of historical documents.

Square characters, which are pictographic and ideographic, have also been fixed by bamboo slips, gradually forming a unique calligraphy art in China.

What was the earliest use of bamboo in history? Bamboo was found in Hemudu Cultural Site in Zhejiang Province in Neolithic Age (7000 years ago).

This shows that the ancestors of primitive society have been processing bamboo according to their own needs and uses, and making various production and living tools suitable for their own needs, which shows the important significance of bamboo in the evolution and development history of human civilization. Humans learn to make and use tools from standing, and bamboo may be the first choice for human beings.

There should be an era of bamboo wares in the history of civilization, because bamboo is easy to pick and process. Since the birth of human beings, bamboo has a close relationship with human beings.

As one of the symbols of bamboo culture, it is the emergence of bamboo characters. More than 4,000 words have been unearthed in Oracle Bone Inscriptions unearthed from the Yin Ruins in Anyang, Henan Province (16 ~1century BC), but today people don't know 1000 words, including 6 bamboo slips.

Another symbol of bamboo culture is the appearance of bamboo slips. Before the invention of paper, people carved characters on bamboo pieces as books, thus fixing China's pictographic characters, forming a unique calligraphy art in China.

There is a story about bamboo in the history of Confucius. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius traveled around the world in an ox cart. When he was walking on the road in a small village in Pingshun County, Shanxi Province, a three-or four-year-old child surrounded the ideal city with dirt, which stopped Confucius' trip. Confucius told the children to make way, and the children asked Confucius: Have you ever seen a city make way for cars? Confucius wanted to walk around the city, and this village was later called North Bicycle.

Confucius went on to say that the children who built the city on the road chased the ox cart and asked Confucius: Why are pine trees cold-resistant and green in winter? Confucius said: pine trees are solid and oily, so they are cold-resistant and green in winter. The child asked again: bamboo has no oil, and the heart is empty. How can it be green in winter? Confucius couldn't answer.

The child asked: Have you seen the persimmon on the tree? When I was young, I was very astringent and couldn't eat it. When they turn red, how can we eat them slowly without being astringent? Confucius replied: the sun shines much, and the persimmon is not astringent when it is red. The child asked again: Did you eat carrots? Why is red buried in the soil and blue exposed to the sun? Confucius couldn't answer, so he ended his trip to Shanxi and returned to Shandong. After crossing this village, he was called the return of the native.

Northern Song Dynasty painter Wen Tong, word Gong neng, have answers. The bamboo he painted is well known, and many people come to paint it every day.

Where is the secret of Wen Tong's painting bamboo? It turned out that Wentong planted all kinds of bamboos in front of and behind his house. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is cloudy and rainy. He often goes to the bamboo forest to observe the growth and changes of bamboo, and figure out the length and thickness of bamboo branches and the shape and color of leaves. As soon as he has new feelings, he returns to his study, spreads paper and grinds ink, and draws his impressions on paper. Over the years, the images of bamboo in different seasons, different weather and different times have been deeply imprinted in his mind. As long as you concentrate on writing and stand in front of drawing paper, the various forms of bamboo observed on weekdays will immediately emerge in front of your eyes.

So every time he draws bamboo, he looks very calm and confident, and the bamboo he draws is vivid and lifelike. When people praised his paintings, he always said modestly, "I just painted the mature bamboo in my heart."

Wen and Ke want to paint bamboo well, whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, or whether it is windy or rainy. The ground is very hot. However, Wen ran to one side of the bamboo forest, with his back to the sun, standing in the sun, watching the changes of bamboo with rapt attention. He measured the length of the bamboo joint with his fingers for a while, and then recorded how dense the bamboo leaves were. Sweat soaked his clothes and his face was sweaty, but he didn't even wipe it with his hands once, as if nothing had happened. Once, the sky saw a rainstorm coming, and people ran home one after another. But at this time, Wen, who was sitting at home, quickly grabbed a straw hat, buckled his head and ran straight to the bamboo forest on the mountain. As soon as he walked out of the door, the heavy rain poured down like water from a washbasin. Wen is bent on seeing the bamboo in the wind and rain, where can he care about the wind and rain and the slippery road! He lifted his robe, climbed the hillside and ran to the bamboo forest. He ran panting into the bamboo forest. He did not wipe the rain off his face and watched the bamboo unblinkingly. I saw the bamboo being blown down by the wind and rain, bending over and nodding, swaying. Wen and Ke carefully remember the posture of bamboo in the wind and rain. Because Wen and Ke have carefully observed and studied bamboo for many years, the shape of bamboo has changed in spring, summer, autumn and winter. What is the difference between the color and posture of bamboo in rainy and snowy days? What's the difference between bamboo in strong sunlight and bamboo in bright moonlight? He knows all about different bamboos and what they look like. So you don't need to sketch to draw bamboo. There is a man named Chao who praised literature. He can say that literature and bamboo can be painted. He already has a plan.

China Bamboo Culture China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world and the birthplace of bamboo culture. From the Shang Dynasty, it entered the era of "bamboo civilization". People in China have planted, used, loved, sang and painted bamboo for thousands of years. Joseph Needham, a famous British scholar, also thinks that East Asian civilization is a "bamboo civilization" after deeply studying the history of China's scientific development. Bamboo plays an important role in the long history and culture of the Chinese nation.

Slender bamboo has experienced frost and snow, and it has always flourished through the four seasons, and it is firm, resolute, upright and serene. People summed up the biological characteristics of bamboo and sublimated it into the character and sentiment of being a human being. Since ancient times, people not only like the shape of bamboo, but also love its connotation. China's long history and culture endow many creatures with human spirituality. Pine, bamboo and plum are called "three friends of the old cold" "Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum" are called "four gentlemen".

Modesty and prudence are the character of bamboo, tenacity and unyielding are the integrity of bamboo, selfless dedication is the character of bamboo, and integrity is the soul of bamboo.

Among the 900 characters that people can recognize in the unearthed Oracle Bone Inscriptions, 6 are bamboo slips. By the Qing Dynasty, 960 of the 47,035 characters were bamboo slips. The development of Chinese characters shows that bamboo resources have been widely used. The reason why bamboo has such a long history is that it is still an auspicious thing.

Bamboo calligraphy is a kind of picture writing, which consists of two pictographs of bamboo leaves. The two "husband and wife" are inseparable, symbolizing unity, symbolizing firm love and happiness of husband and wife. Especially in the southern wedding customs, bamboo is regarded as an auspicious thing, such as lifting the bride's veil with bamboo sticks, carrying bamboo sedan chairs, sending bamboo fans and so on. When we describe love, we often use the words "childhood friends, two young people have no guess". Bamboo is also a homonym of "bamboo", "bamboo (kings)" and "bamboo (blessings)", which gives people a beautiful, happy and auspicious eulogy. When new houses in rural areas are completed, the word "bamboo, corn and pine" is often used. "Bamboo hail pine" is a metaphor for family prosperity and peace all year round. When Buddha Sakyamuni first made his debut, the first temple to lecture was also the first temple in the world, which was built of bamboo and called "Bamboo House". So is Guanyin Bodhisattva. Everyone who worships Guanyin knows that there is a purple bamboo forest behind her. The folk custom of geomantic omen is widely spread in the south of China. There are bamboo forests on the roadside in front of the house, which is one of the signs of good geomantic omen, indicating that the family business is prosperous and the seasons are evergreen. Many auspicious patterns in folk daily life contain bamboo. Therefore, bamboo is a symbol of good luck, wealth and peace.

In the process of China's civilization history, bamboo has been branded almost everywhere, and traces of bamboo can be seen everywhere, thus building a long-standing bamboo culture of the Chinese nation.

The Origin of Bamboo Characters The exact record of bamboo utilization in ancient China originated from Yangshao culture. 1954, banpo village, Xi 'an unearthed Yangshao cultural site about 6000 years ago, in which the symbol of "bamboo" can be recognized on the unearthed pottery, indicating that the history of China people's research and utilization of bamboo can be traced back to a new era five or six thousand years ago. Chinese characters originated from Yangshao culture where primitive society collapsed, and the original symbol of the word "bamboo" should have appeared before this. Bamboo was also found in Hemudu primitive social site in Yuyao County, Zhejiang Province 7000 years ago, which shows that bamboo has a close relationship with people's lives in primitive society. Because only bamboo has been used by people, it is necessary to create a text symbol to represent it.

From the analysis of bamboo characters in Chinese characters, we can also see the history of bamboo utilization in ancient China. The ancients called this kind of plant "bamboo that is neither rigid nor soft, neither grass nor wood, small and empty, and similar". Morphologically, bamboo is processed into objects, and the characters of bamboo slips are derived from the word "bamboo". With the continuous improvement of human understanding of bamboo, the application of bamboo is more and more extensive. The number of bamboo slips is bound to increase. China's Ci Hai (version 1979) * * contains 209 bamboo slips, such as pens, books, bamboo slips, articles, chopsticks, cages, flutes and sheng. Various dictionaries of past dynasties are even more impressive. Idioms such as "Peace in Zhu Bao", "Declining Bamboo", "Childhood friends" and "Late in the morning" also contain interesting allusions related to bamboo.

These bamboo characters and idioms relate to all fields of society and life, reflecting that bamboo has been more and more recognized and utilized by human beings, and that bamboo has played an important role in industrial and agricultural production, culture and art, daily life and other aspects in the history of China for thousands of years.

Bamboo and China literati are a kind of cultural accumulation, which began with the son of Wang Xizhi and was later sublimated. Later, Zheng Banqiao and Qi Baishi endowed bamboo with rich connotations and personality cultivation.

Bamboo grows fast, has strong adaptability and is widely used. Bamboo is closely related to people's life, and its utilization involves clothing, food, shelter, transportation and use. Bamboo has a long history in building. In ancient times, bamboo played an important role in the evolution of human beings from nesting, digging holes to living on the ground. Bamboo was found as a building material in the late Neolithic site of Caoxieshan in Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province. Ganquan Palace and Huanggang Bamboo House in the Han Dynasty were both built with bamboo and enjoyed great fame.

From the perspective of clothing, bamboo plays an important role in the origin and development of China people's clothing. Bamboo shoes, hats and umbrellas appeared in Qin and Han dynasties, with bamboo as cloth, bamboo as crown and bamboo as rain, which have been used ever since. In the Tang Dynasty, bamboo cloth was one of the important tributes of some counties in Lingnan area, and bamboo was also the decorative material of the ancients, which showed the contribution of bamboo to human clothing culture.

From the edible point of view, bamboo shoots and dictyophora are very popular delicacies, and bamboo is an important crop raw material for famine relief in past dynasties. According to the pre-Qin literature, bamboo shoots more than 3,000 years ago were delicacies on the table. There are many ways to eat bamboo shoots, and thousands of delicious foods can be cooked. Bamboo also has special medical value. In the earliest medical books in China, there is a historical record of using bamboo to treat diseases. Bamboo is full of treasures. Bamboo shavings and juice made from leaves, fruits, roots and stems are all effective medicinal materials. Bamboo yellow and dictyophora are also good medicines for treating diseases.

The appearance and development of vehicles and facilities is one of the symbols of China civilization. Bamboo has played an important role in transportation. The origin and development of ancient vehicles and facilities are closely related to bamboo. Ancient people used bamboo to make bamboo carts, rafts, boats and bridges, which created many firsts in the history of world transportation and made great contributions to the development of world transportation tools and facilities.

Archaeological data prove that in the late Paleolithic and early Neolithic, ancient ancestors began to make bamboo utensils with bamboo. The pottery unearthed from Xi 'an Banpo site of Yangshao culture has the impression of bamboo woven fabric at the bottom, a large number of printed pottery with bamboo patterns have been unearthed from Liangzhu cultural site in the south, and more than 200 bamboo wares have been unearthed from Qianshanyang site in Xing Wu, Zhejiang. With the continuous development and progress of society and culture, there are more and more kinds of bamboo products. By the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the production of bamboo ware had become an important production department in the society at that time-bamboo handicraft industry, and bamboo ware had become an indispensable item in the life of the general public at that time. There are more than 60 kinds of bamboo wares in Han Dynasty, more than 100 in Jin Dynasty, nearly 200 kinds in Tang and Song Dynasties, and more than 250 kinds in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Such as reeds, reeds, bowls, chopsticks, spoons, plates, bowls, steamers, etc. Cooking utensils, baskets, barns, barns and boxes for articles. Furniture includes beds, sofas, seats, chairs, pillows, chairs, screens, tables and cabinets.

From the perspective of human living environment, bamboo has also played its special role. Ancient ancestors discovered the special protective function of bamboo very early, and attached importance to the protective function of bamboo in cities and the safety of residential buildings. Bamboo was used as a fence wall in past dynasties to prevent thieves and protect the safety of cities and residential buildings. Bamboo forest is favored by people because of its functions of regulating climate, conserving water, conserving soil and water, reducing noise, purifying air and preventing wind damage. People at all times and all over the world are not allowed to use it to protect and beautify the living environment of mankind.

Thus, bamboo has made an extremely important contribution to the daily life of China people, showing the elegant demeanor of bamboo civilization. Therefore, the relationship between bamboo and people's life, as Su Dongpo said: "People who eat bamboo shoots, live in bamboo tiles, carry bamboo rafts, cook bamboo firewood, wear bamboo skin, write bamboo paper and walk bamboo shoes can't live without this gentleman for a day."
