1 我国南方各省盛产毛竹。毛竹生长快、成材早,一般从出土到利用仅需三、五年,时间。它的特性是杆直。纤维长、弹性好、抗拉力强度高、易加工。通过手工或机械加工的产品纹理清晰,光滑平整,文雅,在某些地方还超过木材,“以竹代木胜于木”,若能提高加工技术、科学利用,定能创造巨大的财富。 1 Provinces in southern China are rich in bamboo. Bamboo grows fast, timber early, generally from the unearthed to use only three or five years time. Its characteristic is straight. Fiber length, good elasticity, high tensile strength, easy processing. The texture of the products processed by hand or by machining is clear, smooth and elegant, and in some places more than wood. “Using bamboo as wood is better than wood”, and if we can improve the processing technology and make scientific use, we can certainly create tremendous wealth.
