竹子在中国是一种很受喜爱的材料,它与中国的诗歌书画以及园林建筑都有着深远的渊源。竹子在文化上代表着一种高风亮节和虚心文雅的气质,同时在设计上也有着极大的审美价值和实用功能。中国人对于竹子的设计和应用也可谓历史久远,从竹简、竹楼到竹椅再到竹纤维,无不体现了人们对竹子的认识不断加深。但是,一直以来在国内人们更多的只是把竹子看做是一种文化、一种气节和风骨,而对竹子在产品设计上的开发和应用涉足不深。 Bamboo is a favorite material in China, and it has far-reaching roots with Chinese poetry, calligraphy and painting and landscape architecture. Bamboo represents a culture of high stature and modestly elegant temperament, but also in the design also has great aesthetic value and practical functions. Chinese people have a long history in design and application of bamboo. From bamboo slips, bamboo towers to bamboo chairs to bamboo fibers, all of them reflect the deepening understanding of bamboo. However, people all along in China have only regarded bamboo as a kind of culture, a kind of integrity and style, and the development and application of bamboo in product design has not been well-established.
