Bringing bamboo back
Zhang Dingjuan, 28, often shares her bamboo weaving works on Xiaohongshu.
Zhang, from Sichuan, said that bamboo weaving in Sichuan has a history of thousands of years. People first used it to make tools. Now, it has become an art.
After finishing her studies at Chengdu University in 2019, Zhang went back to her hometown to work as a bamboo work designer. As her love for the art grew, she went to learn bamboo weaving from a skilled master.
All these helped her make bamboo weaving more fun and interesting. She tried to add modern colors to this traditional art. She once worked with an art student to make metal look like bamboo.
“Traditional skills may have gone away, but now they’re coming back with new life and becoming part of our lives,” Zhang said.
