The Heritage And Product Innovation Of Traditional Bamboo Weaving Craft In Modem Life

As an important intangible cultural heritage, bamboo weaving has lived a long history inChina, and its products were widely used in traditional daily life. From agrarian society topost-industry society, with the change of social context, products of bamboo weaving arechanging, too. Some products are reserved up to now, some products disappeared, but allthese products are created from people’s life demands, they contain lots of living wisdom anddesign experience, which are valuable to modern product design. However, with the progressof economic and technology, bamboo handcrafts are replaced by those standard industrialproducts, bamboo weaving products are disappearing from our life. For a long time, fewpeople would pay attention to bamboo products, let alone buy them, why? That’s because thefunction and form of traditional bamboo weaving products are never fit for modern lifestyleand home environment anymore, the old aesthetic can’t keep up with aesthetics of modern life.Therefore, my issue is just to talk about how to get the old crafts of bamboo weaving back toour daily life, how to give them a brand new life. How to creating bamboo weaving productsthat’s in accordance with modern aesthetics and getting them back as a theme of modernexquisite living style with the power of design, that’s a challenging but meaningful task.This issue is based on a lot of data information, which is collected from extensiveliterature survey and field investigations. I conclude the characteristics and history of bambooweaving from all these material. Then, with case analytic method, I analyze the shape, colorand decoration of both traditional and modern products, and summarize their design regularity,extracting the excellent design idea of traditional products, and finding those shortcomings ofmodern products. Then, I find out common users’ attitude to bamboo weaving withquestionnaire survey, so that we can give meaningful suggestions to bamboo weaving productdesign. After that, I get knowledge of expert practitioners’ attitude from a series of interview.Finally, I analyze two successful samples of craft redesign. From all those three aspects’survey, we get a synthesized investigate on the redesign of bamboo weaving products, that’scan be a effective suggestion for the following research.How to get effective inheritance and creation in bamboo weaving, in my opinion, there’rethree points: Firstly, more functions have to be created to satisfy people’s increasing livingneeds. Secondly, the form of bamboo products has to be changed with modern aesthetic.Finally, modern technology can be used in craft creation.
