Chinese Name: Classification of Meishan Bamboo Weaving: Traditional Handicraft Materials: Bamboo-shaped Area: The history and characteristics of Meishan area in Hunan Province, the analogy of Meishan bamboo weaving, and the historical Meishan. This is a historical geographical name, located in the middle of Hunan Province, with unique natural environment and unique human landscape. That is, today's south of Dongting Lake, north of Nanling Mountain, southwest-northeast Zishuigu-Xuefeng Mountain area between Xiangyuan River, with a land area of nearly 50,000 square kilometers. Meishan bamboo weaving has a history of thousands of years, and gradually formed its own characteristics in inheritance and development. Zeng Jianguo (1944-) is one of the representatives. This experienced craftsman is 65 years old and has been weaving with thin bamboo strips for more than 50 years. In his usual craft work, he gradually realized the skill of weaving characters on flat bamboo pieces. After a period of hard study, he completed different forms and types of "bamboo strips" products. Now, he can weave any character skillfully, and for the first time, he used the concept of "bamboo shape" to describe and describe this bamboo font. The feature of "Bamboo Shape" is that the characters are all composed of horizontal and vertical strokes, which shows the essence of Yin and Yang culture in China Yijing between horizontal and vertical, and adds an important stroke to the traditional bamboo weaving culture in China. The bamboo weaving technology of "Bamboo" originated from the traditional bamboo weaving technology in Meishan, which means "Fulu Xi Shou" is auspicious. Meishan bamboo weaving business was started by an old artist Zeng Jianguo and his son Zeng Zhilong. Because his son Zeng Zhilong designed bamboo slips independently, his characteristic bamboo slips produced rich works of art: Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, Harmony, Buddha and Bamboo Slips. The weaving method of Meishan bamboo weaving "Zhuzi" systematically weaves characters into bamboo (grass) products, creating a new writing carrier, which is different from calligraphy, printing, inkjet, carving, splicing, paper-cutting, cross-stitch, Xiang embroidery and embroidery, and has specific cultural significance. Characteristic Chinese characters have been evolving and evolving from scratch, and are still in the process of evolution. The biggest evolution in modern times is from traditional Chinese characters to simplified Chinese characters. Every revolution of writing tools or writing carriers directly affects the evolution of Chinese characters, from carving knives and bamboo slips to writing brushes and paper. Now, Meishan bamboo weaving and its bamboo form are another major change of Chinese characters. Judging from the number and structure of fonts, the bamboo form has developed into a more rigorous and systematic character, and the six principles of Chinese characters (pictograph, reference, phonology, knowing, transliteration and borrowing) are all reflected in the bamboo form. The systematic development of bamboo sticks and the great significance of this change can even be said to be another structural change after a long time for China characters stop setting! Meishan bamboo weaving is a combination of calligraphy art and traditional bamboo weaving technology, which has obvious Hunan cultural characteristics. It takes characters as the main content of bamboo weaving, which fills the historical blank of traditional plane bamboo weaving in China for more than 5,000 years and creates new elements of traditional bamboo culture. At present, the weaving content of Meishan bamboo weaving is mainly words, and the plane bamboo weaving is its main feature, and the weaving technology is constantly combined with the traditional three-dimensional bamboo weaving. The unique culture formed in Meishan area provides rich nutrition for the development of Meishan bamboo weaving. Meishan bamboo weaving is the development and inheritance of Meishan culture. Meishan culture is a well-preserved cultural form in central Hunan since ancient times, and it is a regional national culture with distinctive characteristics created and inherited by people in Meishan area from generation to generation. It belongs to an important tributary of Jingchu culture, which is one of the two main streams of China culture. Together with other regional cultures, it constitutes the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. Based on Meishan culture, Meishan bamboo weaving is the crystallization of people's production and life in Meishan area for thousands of years, and it is the innovation and development of traditional skills and wisdom. It is based on practicality, developed from the common folk bamboo weaving technology, based on people's basic needs, and has the characteristics of beautiful shape, reasonable layout, exquisite elegance and both form and spirit, creating a new writing carrier. Meishan bamboo weaving contains the essence of Meishan culture, accumulates the pace of Huxiang civilization, and is the carrier of the spread and development of Huxiang Chu culture. The original "bamboo stick" craft of Meishan bamboo weaving is a new way of weaving and inheriting human civilization based on words. Compared with calligraphy, painting, sculpture, splicing, cross stitch and other works, it has its specific significance and embodies the philosophical artistic conception of "one bodhi, one word and one pure land" by craftsmen. Meishan bamboo weaving has exquisite and elegant appearance, both spirit and form, and strong decorative feeling. Its exquisite effect and artistic charm can be compared with many magnificent traditional crafts. This unique handicraft combines characters wonderfully in bamboo slips through the changes of reality and light and shade, and fully demonstrates the square and round features of Chinese characters in China, which is a pride that craftsmen in any non-Chinese writing country cannot copy and surpass! It fully embodies the diligence and wisdom of China craftsmen. Today, with the gradual disappearance of traditional crafts, Meishan bamboo weaving takes bamboo strips as the carrier and words as the language, which inherits the long-standing folk bamboo weaving craft, enriches the connotation of bamboo culture and fills the historical gap of plane bamboo weaving in Chinese bamboo art culture. Its value is various, and it is worth studying, researching and inheriting. The analogy of Meishan bamboo weaving is 1, which is compared with Jiangyong female script.

Hunan Jiangyong Nvshu, a mysterious symbol created by women and only circulated and used among women, is the only female character in the world. In contrast, Meishan bamboo weaving can be vividly compared to "Meishan Men's Book". Jiang Yong's female calligraphy and Meishan's bamboo weaving are simply two works unique to Hunan from the perspective of intangible culture. 2. Comparison with Xiang embroidery

Xiang embroidery is the general name of Xiang embroidery products with distinctive cultural characteristics of Xiang and Chu, and it is a folk craft with cultural characteristics of Xiang and Chu. "Charming silk thread, the passage of time" and "Tight needle and thread" pull "out for thousands of years"-all these make people fascinated by Xiang embroidery! Compared with Meishan bamboo weaving, it can be regarded as a "Hunan weaving" with high cultural confidence. "History is a constant bamboo, handed down from generation to generation" and "one generation is a bodhi, one word is a pure land"-From the perspective of folk arts and crafts in the high cultural pattern of Hunan, Xiang embroidery and Meishan bamboo weaving are like a brother and sister, with colorful shapes. If Jiangyong Nvshu and Xiang embroidery embody the soft side of Huxiang culture, then the rebirth of Meishan bamboo weaving gives Huxiang culture more strength. 3. Comparison with other bamboo tissues in China.

China has a long history of bamboo weaving and a long history of bamboo art culture. Compared with other bamboo weaving in China, Meishan bamboo weaving has its own unique style school, that is, the unique "bamboo-shaped" craft performance. Meishan Bamboo Weaving is the only national handicraft in China, except calligraphy, which is based on China Chinese characters. 4. The history of bamboo slips and characters.

Judging from the fact that Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the oldest written history in China, the "bamboo form" woven by Meishan bamboo can be said to be a brand-new writing in China and a new carrier of China writing. Oracle Bone Inscriptions is a character carved on tortoise shell bone, but bamboo is a font that describes and describes Meishan bamboo weaving on its plane. Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Zhuzi, the old and the new, the ancient and the present, reflect the changes of the times and the development of civilization.

From the time when our ancestors wrote characters on bamboo slips to develop Chinese civilization, to the time when people carved characters on bamboo slips, and now the old artist Zeng Jianguo weaves characters on bamboo slips and spreads China's splendid and long-standing civilization with pure manual traditional skills, this historical evolution is a leap beyond time and space!

From Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, seal script, official script and running script to "bamboo", the evolution of this script shows that Meishan bamboo weaving has profound cultural background and artistic value. Today, with the far-reaching influence of China culture, China has a special China Chinese Character Network and the National Chinese Character Museum.
