China, home of bamboo, makes extensive use of the plant as a
material for articles of daily use and interior decoration.
In many southern provinces like Hunan and Sichuan which
abound in bamboo groves, the local people build houses, suspension
bridges and fishing rafts with bamboo. In their spare time, rural
women weave its stripes into baskets of various sizes and different
descriptions to be sold at fairs and markets.
No part of bamboo is wasted. The leaves make broad-brimmed
country hats, rain capes, or are used for the roofing of small boats.
Southern households, needless to say, use bamboo chopsticks for
eating, many of which are burnt with patterns and pictures.
Furniture made of plant may look very distinctive, elegant and
even classic in taste. Beds, couches, sofas, tables, desks and baby
carriages can all be made of bamboo.
Bamboo can also be the material for a long list of other
handicraft articles – screens, paintings, animal figures, fruit boxes,
smoking sets, tea boxes, etc. – which are either interior decorations or
articles of practical use or serve both purposes at the same time.
Their exquisite appearance, together with their moderate price and
light weight, puts them in high favour with Chinese and foreign
buyers.
Some sculptors like to split sections of thick bamboo sticks
lengthwise in two and engrave on the surfaces a couplet of Chinese
poetry or set of pictures for hanging on the walls of studies or studios.
They make interior decorations of pastoral simplicity and refinement.
Bamboo is also an important raw material; the branches can be
processed into fibres for the manufacture of high-quality paper and
artificial silk.
