The origin of bamboo weaving technology;

As one of the traditional handicrafts in China, bamboo weaving can be traced back to the Neolithic Age 67,000 years ago, and our ancestors could weave utensils with bamboo. At the bottom of pottery unearthed from Yangshao cultural site in Anbanpo, Xi 'an, a pattern with mats was found. Because bamboo is perishable, it is impossible to get the original samples of these bamboo woven fabrics.

With the passage of time and the development of various dynasties, bamboo weaving gradually developed into a folk art and was widely used in all aspects of life.

Among more than 200 bamboo woven samples unearthed, there are many kinds, including baskets, dustpans, grain baskets, bamboo mats and various utensils for fishing, sericulture and agriculture. Bamboo weaving mostly uses scraping strips to weave herringbone patterns, plum blossom eyes, diamond squares, cross patterns and other patterns.
