Secondly, if there are bamboo carving craftsmen in your hometown, you can develop all kinds of bamboo carving crafts. If the local area is a tourist area or close to it, it can be used as a tourist souvenir. Moreover, there is another idea to imitate the bamboo slips of the past and make the present bamboo into handicrafts similar to bamboo slips (such as the small picture below). There are ancient books such as The Origin of Surnames or The University and The Doctrine of the Mean, all of which are well bought and even earn foreign currency! The second is bamboo charcoal, bamboo fiber and so on.
I like bamboo carving crafts very much, but unfortunately I live in the north and have never seen bamboo in the south.
