Bamboo weaving craftsmen become popular on Tik Tok

 Recently, Chinese bamboo weaving has caused a heated discussion on Tik Tok overseas. A simple video of making bamboo weaving can actually attract 70 million foreigners to watch at the same time. These foreigners expressed their admiration after watching the bamboo weaving video, only to see that the Chinese masters split the bamboo, and then went through the processes of spinning, weaving, firing, etc., and finally turned it into an exquisite work of art. These foreigners never thought that the seemingly inconspicuous bamboo could have such a transformation. They called it the mysterious “Chinese Kung Fu”.

Below these videos, you can see comments from various countries, including Russian, English, Arabic, and more. When they watched the video, they didn’t understand what it was doing, and when the final product was finished, they realized it was a brush or a broom. In addition to the bamboo weaving video, the related reaction video also has millions of views, which shows how popular this “Chinese Kung Fu” is overseas. Why can Chinese bamboo weaving become popular overseas? The reason is very simple, because this is an inheritance that cannot be stolen.

Bamboo weaving originated in the Warring States Period and has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is an intangible cultural heritage of our country. Those countries without sufficient historical background will not have such a long-standing traditional skill, even if they try their best to apply for it. However, with the economic development of our country, the traditional bamboo weaving products have been gradually eliminated, and the craftsmen have no choice but to switch to other ways of making a living. Pan Yunfeng is a bamboo weaving master from Zhejiang. He started learning this craft when he was 14 years old, and after 3 years, he was forced to change careers at the age of 23.

The rise of short videos in recent years has made more people see and pay attention to this traditional craft. Master Pan originally posted bamboo weaving crafts on the platform out of hobby, but he did not expect it to be very popular among young netizens. In just a few months, it has attracted the attention of tens of millions of fans, and later became popular overseas, which “opened the eyes of foreigners”. In addition to Master Pan, Master Li Niangen is also an excellent bamboo weaving craftsman. They not only showed traditional bamboo weaving products to domestic and foreign audiences, but also made many innovations in bamboo products.

From wardrobes, mobile phone brackets, umbrellas, bamboo lighting, etc., the masters who have been in the industry for more than 50 years are using their own innovations to bring bamboo products back to the public eye. Therefore, it is not accidental that bamboo craftsmen can become popular on Tik Tok. In the editor’s opinion, they are the real “artisans”! Bamboo weaving has now become another successful case of Chinese cultural export. In the highly industrialized West, they do not know how much they admire this handicraft. And this is only one of my country’s intangible cultural heritage, China’s five thousand years of splendid civilization is not just talk.

Why Giant Bamboo is such a Promising Resource

  It Runs in the Family From a botanical point of view, bamboo belongs to the grasses, the Graminea, and is therefore not a tree. Bamboo is a collective name for a group of botanical species. Although the complete taxonomy is still evolving, current estimations are that around 1500 different varieties exist. There are considerable differences in size, colour, node distribution and configuration, mechanical properties and climatic preferences. Some giant species reach up to 30 m with cross sections of up to 30 cm per stem, whereas some sorts do not reach above 1 m in height and 1 cm in diameter. Depending on the climatic circumstances, there can also be a lot of variation in size and quality of the stems from the same species. Stems are larger in fertile, moist climates and smaller in dry sandy climates. Fundamentally Different from Trees In general, bamboo is hollow (although some solid species exist), with separate sections at irregular distances formed by transverse diaphragms in...
