The development of bamboo weaving in China
In the countryside in the eighties and nineties, the dustpan was a common agricultural tool, mainly used to hold and sort grains and dry grains. In ancient China's rural areas, it can be said that every household had a dustpan, especially the peasant family that relied on the land for food. It's quite useful.

It is mainly woven from bamboo and other plants, and various exquisite works of art and daily necessities are produced through weaving and bundling techniques. Bamboo weaving works are fine, durable, and extremely practical.
The craft of bamboo weaving can be traced back to ancient times, when people began to use bamboo to make various living tools. With the continuous development, bamboo weaving has gradually developed from simple daily necessities to exquisite handicrafts, and has become an indispensable part of people's daily life.
In the development of various dynasties in Chinese history, bamboo weaving has also spread many beautiful legends among the people. The ancients also portrayed it as a beautiful mythical story about a beautiful woman named Lady Bamboo in ancient times, who was good at bamboo weaving and was able to make beautiful bamboo utensils from ordinary bamboo.
Bamboo is split into thin slices to create a variety of textures and patterns, revealing amazing skill and creativity. With the development of modern society, many traditional handicrafts have gradually lost their living space, in order to better protect and inherit the art of bamboo weaving, the state also strongly supports this.
Bamboo weaving has become a foreign work of art
Many people may be very curious, why such an ordinary dustpan in China has become a work of art? In fact, this is inseparable from the marketing of merchants. The merchant gave a detailed introduction to the production process of bamboo dustpan, and also emphasized the environmental protection and artistry of bamboo weaving, which is also the reason why it is sought after abroad.
The bamboo dustpan went to the United States, and many foreigners also made this "bamboo weaving art", which caused a rush to buy as soon as it appeared in the market. Among them, there are more Americans who do not hesitate to increase the price to buy, but also make the price of bamboo dustpans remain high, even the most ordinary dustpans cost about 300 yuan, and the highest price has reached 2,000 yuan.

In their eyes, the main material of bamboo weaving is pure natural bamboo, which has its own fragrance, has the breath of nature, coupled with unique weaving skills, and is highly sought after.
In ancient times, there were many products of bamboo, not only dustpans but also bamboo baskets and baskets. The small gap of the bamboo basket has air permeability and drainage, which is convenient for use in life. Although it has entered the modern society, this handicraft is also an existence that cannot be replaced by cold machinery.
For the Chinese, the dustpan is just a simple agricultural tool. But in the eyes of Americans, this is a handmade masterpiece from the East. In particular, the tedious production process is dazzling, and it is really impossible to imagine that an ordinary bamboo can be turned into a work of art in the hands of Chinese.
The popularity of Made in China abroad
In addition to dustpans, Chinese-made products have a place all over the world. As China's economic power continues to grow, so does China's economic influence in the world. In particular, the handicrafts made in China have been loved by people from all over the world.

The porcelain porcelain is dense, delicate, warm and elegant. "Porcelain" and "China" are the same word in English - China. Porcelain let the world know China and became the business card of ancient China to the world. China is the homeland of porcelain, and the wisdom of ancient China can also be seen.
In fact, primitive porcelain was born more than 3,000 years ago, and over time, Chinese porcelain craftsmanship gradually developed into a complete art form. The styles and characteristics are also ever-changing, and at one point in Chinese history, porcelain became a symbol of nobility and royalty.
When Europeans first saw Chinese porcelain, they thought it was a utensil used by the "gods", although this is an exaggeration, but in the eyes of Europeans, there is no exaggeration at all. As early as the 16th century, Chinese porcelain had not yet been introduced to Europe, and Europeans at that time still used utensils made of clay.
It can only meet the needs of daily life, and there is no aesthetic sense. Coupled with the roughness of the production process, it also highlights the delicacy of Chinese porcelain, and it is no wonder that Europeans have such a great reaction to Chinese porcelain. Simple porcelain is full of mystery in the eyes of Europeans, and they directly named the porcelain "white gold".
By the Sui and Tang dynasties, the manufacture of porcelain had become very mature, and craftsmen began to fire colored glazed porcelain in batches in order to make porcelain colorful.
In particular, the porcelain of China's official kilns has also been sought after all over the world, and since 1975 it has been increasing year by year, and most of the porcelain made by official kilns can only be used by the royal family. The process requirements will only be higher, and even the products of the official kiln will be sought after in China.
Chinese handicrafts have slowly become known all over the world, and have been warmly sought after, and you can also see the exquisite skills of Chinese handicrafts. In fact, there are more traditional handicrafts in China that are well-made, these are luxury goods that belong to our China, and there is no production process even if foreign countries want to imitate them.
In addition, now that many traditional crafts have been slowly lost, the state will try its best to protect them, wanting to pass on the unique romance of China.
