Chinese bamboo weaving has a long history. From the Warring States Period 2,000 years ago to modern civilized society, bamboo tools, bamboo building materials, bamboo daily necessities, and bamboo artworks have always been indispensable companions in Chinese peoples lives. Meat to eat, bamboo to live in, bamboo chairs to sit on, and bamboo arts to enjoy are the ideals of the ancient Chinese.

One ??of the bamboo weaving techniques. The warp and weft strips of the same width and thickness are alternately pierced and pressed into a square hollow pattern, and then the warp and weft strips are pierced and pressed diagonally at the four corners of the hollow pattern to form an octagonal hollow pattern. For example, the inner layer of the square bamboo basket unearthed from Tomb No. 1 in Wangshan, Jiangling, Hubei Province, has a pattern woven using this method.
