Bamboo is one of the forest resources. There are more than 70 genera and more than 1,200 species of bamboo plants in the world, mainly in tropical and subtropical areas, with a few species in temperate and cold zones. Bamboo is an evergreen (a few species deciduous in the dry season) shallow-rooted plant that is highly demanding and sensitive to thermal and water conditions, and the distribution of heat and water on the earth's surface governs the geographical distribution of bamboo. Southeast Asia is located in the tropics and south subtropics, and is influenced by the convergence of the Pacific and Indian Ocean monsoons, with abundant rainfall and stable heat, making it an ideal ecological environment for bamboo growth, and the center of the world's bamboo distribution. Bamboo often forms mixed forests with other tree species and is below the main forest layer, which was rarely appreciated in the past. When the upper forest layer is cut down, bamboo quickly reverts to a secondary bamboo forest with its fast growth and high fertility. With the expanding use of bamboo and its high economic value, people planted bamboo to form plantation forests. Secondary bamboo forests and plantation forests, in turn, spread and expand in all directions with its powerful underground stems.

The first step is to select and put the material. The selection of bamboo is very delicate, the bamboo age of one year or two years can not be used, at least to choose more than three years, and the best is the bamboo garden in the middle of the bamboo. A skilled craftsman can tell the age of bamboo by simply grabbing it with his hand and shaking it. After selecting the right bamboo, the material is placed according to the basic algorithm of "one foot and six inches" according to the type of product to be made.
The second step is to split the bamboo into gabions or gimlets. The bamboo is cleaned and the knots are flattened. The skill of splitting gabions is very important, as the hand and knife must form a line and the force of both hands must be balanced. Among the folk artists, there is a jingle that says, "Don't be too tall to split a gabion, one inch and three cuts. In the hands of the craftsmen, the thin bamboo sheets can be peeled in up to a dozen layers by using the techniques of biting, pulling and knifing. However, only three to four layers are used to weave household items, while six to eight layers are used to weave handicrafts. Gomer picking is done by using a picking knife, holding the bamboo piece in the left hand to press the gabion and pulling it back with the right hand to make the gabion or gabion as wide or narrow as possible. Once the gabions are picked, the next step is to scrape the gabions. The artist uses a scraper to scrape the gabions smoothly and evenly, and to make round gabions, flat gabions, and gabions. In order to prevent moths and mildew, the gabions are also cooked. The split gabions are boiled in a pot and then dried out for use.
The third step is to weave. There are many weaving techniques and a lot of content. The master gabionist uses various weaving techniques such as vertical warp and weft weaving, hexagonal hexagonal weaving, triangular eye weaving, tiger head eye weaving, multilateral money eye weaving, corner three-dimensional weaving, gyratory restoration weaving, embellishment decoration weaving and so on. During the weaving process, the gabions or gimlets are bleached and dyed. It can be bleached first and then woven, or woven first and then bleached; it can be dyed first and then woven, or woven first and then dyed. Finally, the bamboo craft is dried and sprayed with lacquer, at which point it is considered complete.
