Exhibition Area Introduction:
1. Classic Works Area: Displays bamboo weaving works by Mr. Wu Sheng-zong, Mr. Huang Tu-shan, and Mr. Li Rong-lie. It also features creations combining bamboo with other media, such as Ms. Huang Li-shu's combination of bamboo and lacquer. In bamboo carving, works like Chen Ming-tang's 'Four Refrains', Yeh Chi-hsiang's 'Step by Step Upward', Yeh Ta-chuan's 'Cherishing Fortune', and Lin Yu-yun's 'Phalaenopsis' demonstrate high artistic achievement.
2. Farming, Fishing, and Hunting Tools Area: Our country has always been an agricultural nation, and early ancestors' lives revolved around farming. Many tools were required, such as ox yokes, ox muzzles, harrows, dustpans, bamboo hats, and tortoise-shell hats used for plowing. Bamboo baskets for harvesting tea and tea roasting cages were mostly made of bamboo, especially bamboo weaving. Additionally, fishing was a livelihood in agricultural society. This area also displays fish traps (ko-zai), fish fry baskets, shrimp traps, frog cages, and bamboo rafts, all made of bamboo, including life-saving tubes.
3. Bamboo Carving Area: Bamboo carving is divided into intaglio, relief, high relief, openwork, and three-dimensional carving. This area displays bamboo carving tools and works by famous masters such as Yan Zheng-sen, Shi Hui-min, and Lu Shi-zhen.
4. Bamboo Weaving Area: Bamboo weaving primarily uses Makino bamboo and Thorny bamboo, followed by Moso bamboo and Ma bamboo. The process involves five steps: material selection, splitting into strips/slices, weaving, detailing, and coloring/finishing. This area displays exquisite works by Chiu Chin-tuan, Yeh Pao-lien, Huang Ru-chuang, Lin Hsiu-feng, and Li Hung-wei.
5. Modern Bamboo Craft Area: Besides practicality, aesthetic design is a focus. The area displays bamboo handbags by Wu Mei-chu and Wu Liu-yan, whose texture and value rival LV bags.
