The traditional bamboo weaving technology has a long history, which is full of the hard work of the Han working people in China. Bamboo weaving technology can be divided into filament weaving technology and thick silk bamboo weaving technology.

Archaeological data show that after human beings began to settle down, they engaged in simple agricultural and animal husbandry production, and there was a little surplus of rice and hunting food, so they stored food and drinking water for emergencies. At this time, local materials were used to cut plant branches into baskets, baskets and other utensils with various tools such as stone axes and knives. In practice, it is found that bamboo is neat, strong in crack resistance, elastic and tough, easy to weave, strong and durable. Therefore, bamboo became the main material for making utensils at that time.

China's pottery also began in the Neolithic Age, and its formation is closely related to the compilation of bamboo weaving. Ancestors accidentally discovered that containers coated with clay were impervious to water after burning and could hold liquids. Therefore, taking the basket made of bamboo and rattan as a model, and then coating clay inside and outside the basket, the ceramic culture of bamboo and rattan tires was made. Bake on the fire to make utensils. Later, people made embryos of various shapes directly from soil, so bamboo weaving was no longer used. However, I still like the geometric figures of bamboo and rattan, so I printed patterns imitating woven fabrics such as basketball, baskets and mats on the surface of Tao Pei as decoration in a semi-dry state.

In Shang dynasty, the weaving patterns of bamboo and rattan were more abundant. Pottery prints have decorative patterns such as checkered patterns, rice patterns, palindromes and ripples. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the utilization rate of bamboo was expanded, and bamboo weaving gradually developed like technology. The decorative smell of bamboo weaving patterns is getting stronger and stronger, and the weaving is getting finer and finer.

During the Warring States period, there was also a person who devoted himself to the research of bamboo weaving technology. He is Mount Tai.

During the Warring States period, the weaving technology of Chu was also very developed, and nearly 100 pieces of bamboo mats, curtains, warehouses (bamboo boxes), fans, baskets and baskets were unearthed.

Bamboo weaving in Qin and Han Dynasties followed the weaving skills of Chu State. 1980, a checkered pattern was cast at the bottom of the "Qin mausoleum bronze carriage" unearthed by China archaeologists in Xi 'an. According to experts' analysis, this grid pattern was cast according to the grid pattern woven by bamboo mats at that time.

In addition, bamboo weaving is also made into children's toys by skilled craftsmen. Lantern Festival has been popular among the people since the Tang Dynasty, and it has been very popular in the Song Dynasty. Some dignitaries often ask lantern makers to make exquisite lanterns. One of them is to tie the bones with bamboo sticks and stick silk or colored paper around them. Some also use bamboo silk weaving as decoration.

Dragon lanterns originated in the Han Dynasty and became more popular in the Song Dynasty. The bibcock and dragon body are mostly made of bamboo sticks, and the scales on the dragon body are often tied with bamboo threads.

There is also a folk opera called "Bamboo Horse Play". It has been circulated since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The performance of the play is related to horses, such as "Zhao Jun goes out to the fortress". The horses that the actors ride are made of bamboo.

In the early Ming Dynasty, there were more and more artists engaged in bamboo weaving in Jiangnan. Bamboo mats, baskets and boxes are all made of exquisite craft bamboo. Especially bamboo weaving is the most famous. The bamboo mat in Yiyang was founded in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

In the mid-Ming Dynasty, the use of bamboo weaving was further expanded, weaving became more and more exquisite, and combined with lacquerware and other crafts, many high-grade bamboo weaving utensils were created. Such as painting boxes for calligraphy and painting, small round boxes for jewelry, and large round boxes for food.

"Brown lacquered bamboo woven round box" is a kind of bamboo woven round box used by bureaucrats in Ming Dynasty.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially after Qianlong, bamboo weaving technology was fully developed. Bamboo baskets appeared in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

After 1937, under the Japanese invaders' iron hoof, bamboo weavers laid down their knives and engaged in other businesses, and only a few artists lived in the ruined temple old buddhist nun to continue this bamboo weaving process.

After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, China's editing skills gradually recovered. After 1950s, bamboo weaving art began to be under the jurisdiction of arts and crafts industry and entered the art palace. A large number of skilled bamboo weavers have emerged, and some of them have been rated as "arts and crafts artists" and "senior arts and crafts artists". Won the honorary titles of "Master of Arts and Crafts in China" and "Master of Bamboo Weaving in China".

After 1990, Shengzhou in Zhejiang, Qingshen County in Sichuan and Quxian County were successively rated as "Hometown of Bamboo Weaving in China".

After entering the 2 1 century, bamboo weaving technology gradually lost its market competitiveness and declined, and its weaving technology became an "intangible cultural heritage". However, there are also many bamboo weavers who are still tirelessly pursuing new art, and new works are slowly emerging.
