What do people do with bamboo?

China is called "Bamboo Kingdom". From Liaoning in the north, Hainan in the south, Taiwan Province Province in the east and Tibet in the west, it has a vast territory, with more than 4 million hectares of bamboo forests and more than 500 species of bamboos belonging to 39 genera. It is the most important bamboo-producing country in the world, ranking first in the world in terms of bamboo germplasm resources, bamboo forest area, stock volume and output [1, 2]. Bamboo is a totem worship and a spirit in China. Many scholars like bamboo. Su Shi's poem in the Northern Song Dynasty: "Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo", which shows people's love for bamboo. Bamboo can be found everywhere in people's daily life in the areas rich in bamboo in the south. Bamboo houses, beds, benches, baskets and rafts can be seen everywhere. Bamboo shoots are good ingredients. In ancient times, bamboo shoots have become a pilgrimage tribute; In Buddhism in China, many famous dishes are made of bamboo shoots. Bamboo can be used as medicine all over the body and has high medicinal value. Bamboo entered the gardens in China very early and grew with the gardens in China. It can be said that bamboo is a major feature of China gardens. Bamboo has also been introduced to many countries. With people's gradual understanding of the physical and chemical properties of bamboo, there has been a bamboo fever all over the world, and bamboo products have become more and more popular in ordinary people's homes. Bamboo has been widely used in people's clothing, food, shelter and transportation.

People in China have been using bamboo for a long time. As early as the pre-Qin period, there were clothing items such as bamboo sticks, bamboo grates and bamboo crowns. In some ethnic minority gathering places in the south, bamboo clothing is more common. Today, many areas still retain the habit of wearing bamboo and wearing bamboo. For example, the Maonan bamboo hat enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. The hats that people often wear are also made of bamboo.

With the continuous progress of science and technology, high-tech products made of bamboo have also become new clothes. Bamboo is made into bamboo pulp, and then the bamboo pulp fiber with cellulose content of about 35% is purified to more than 93% by artificial catalysis, which becomes the raw material for making clothing, shoes and hats-bamboo fiber [3]. The surface of bamboo fiber is smooth, the interior is mostly reticulate, the cross section is naturally hollow, mostly close to round, some of them are arranged in plum blossom shape, the edges are irregular and serrated, and the longitudinal surface is smooth and uniform, showing many shallow grooves, which can absorb and evaporate water instantly. Therefore, bamboo fiber ranks first among all fibers in moisture absorption and moisture dissipation, and it is called "breathing fiber", and the fabric is called "breathing fabric" [3,4] This antibacterial performance of bamboo fiber is better than that obtained after finishing, and it will not cause any allergic reaction to human skin, so it has good health care performance [4]. Therefore, bamboo fiber textile products have good wearability, good moisture absorption and permeability, soft hand feeling, good drape, easy coloring, bright dyeing, wear resistance and antibacterial, and comfortable wearing. But also let people enjoy the feeling of returning to nature. Bamboo fiber clothing has been widely sought after once it has been introduced into the market. At present, underwear, pajamas, bathrobes, T-shirts, socks and suits made of bamboo fiber can be seen on the market.

Taiwan Province researchers used mature bamboo grown in Taiwan Province Province for more than 4 years as raw materials, carbonized at 700 degrees in a traditional kiln, activated and refined to make bamboo charcoal powder, and then infiltrated into the original pulp to make textiles through special spinning, spinning and blending. The porous structure of bamboo charcoal not only has the functions of adsorption, decomposition and deodorization for harmful characteristics such as benzene, phenol and methanol, but also has the functions of humidity regulation and bacteriostasis. Bamboo charcoal yarn has high far infrared emissivity, good heat insulation and heat storage effect, and is suitable for making warm fabrics. At present, bamboo charcoal yarn has been widely used to make ready-made fabrics, webbing, sports fabrics, warm socks, scarves, curtains, screens, bedding fabrics, insoles and so on. At present, the monthly output of bamboo charcoal yarn in Taiwan Province Province can reach 20 tons, with an annual output value of about NT$ 72 million (34 yuan NT$ or 1 US$), creating business opportunities of NT$ 654,380.2 billion for related industries. Bamboo charcoal is pulverized by nanotechnology, and then mixed with polyester fiber by melt spinning process to make bamboo charcoal fiber. Bamboo charcoal fiber has the reputation of "black diamond" in the Japanese market, which not only has the characteristics of natural environmental protection, but also has the functions of antibacterial and negative ions, and is suitable for making close-fitting clothes and protective textiles.

Step 2: Eat

2. 1 dish

Bamboo shoots are one of the traditional vegetarian varieties in China, and they are "all-round nutritious vegetables", and their nutritional content is 1 times higher than that of ordinary vegetables. It is delicious, contains a variety of trace elements and amino acids, and has high fiber content, and has the functions of helping digestion, preventing constipation, losing weight and preventing cancer [6]. Bamboo shoots are known as "the first vegetable food" and have a long edible history in China. According to historical documents, Dayu ate bamboo during the flood control period. It is recorded in Shang Yu Shu Gong that there are "bracts" and "mushrooms" in the tributes of ancient Yangzhou and Jingzhou, which experts think are bamboo shoots or their dried products. It can be seen that as early as more than 4,000 years ago in the Xia and Yu dynasties, the ancients took bamboo shoots as a tribute and became a delicious food enjoyed by princes and nobles [7].

The extensive development of bamboo shoots in China benefits from vegetarian diet in monasteries. During the Jin Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced into China. Bamboo shoots, as one of the main raw materials of vegetarian diet in China, are also integrated into vegetarian diet. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Liang Wudi ZSZSZSZ advocated Buddhism with the respect of the empire and became a vegetarian for life, which objectively played a positive role in advocating vegetarianism. By the Tang Dynasty, except monks, many secular people were vegetarian at home all the year round, and vegetarian food was integrated into the people, and folk food, official food and vegetarian food began to penetrate and merge with each other. Vegetarianism was particularly popular in Song Dynasty, and bamboo shoots got unprecedented development. Zanning, a monk in the Song Dynasty, specially wrote a book on eating bamboo shoots, Bamboo Shoot Spectrum. Another famous monk Ji Dian also wrote a poem called Bamboo Shoots, called Bamboo Shoots Gold. Starting from the temple, it created a precedent of "vegetarian dishes and meat dishes". Bamboo shoots are regarded as the main raw materials because they are easy to carve. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were a comprehensive summary of vegetarianism in ancient China, and the cooking skills became more and more exquisite, especially the vegetarian dishes in the temple "Ji Xiang Kitchen" were greatly improved in workmanship, and bamboo shoots occupied a place in the vegetarian restaurant [8]. With the development of history, bamboo shoots have become more and more powerful, including many famous dishes. Bamboo shoots 1 10 are included in Chinese food library Chinese food ceremony (vegetarian scroll).

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people advocate a more natural and healthy diet after satisfying the consumption of non-staple food, mainly meat, poultry, eggs and milk. As a result, vegetarianism has been recognized by more and more people. The protection of animals has also promoted the development of vegetarianism to some extent. As a completely nutritious natural health food, bamboo shoots are widely loved by people. Fresh bamboo shoots can be processed into dried bamboo shoots, shredded bamboo shoots, canned bamboo shoots, sour bamboo shoots and other products, which is a unique delicacy.

The fruit of bamboo is called bamboo rice. Bamboo and rice are shaped like wheat, which is beneficial to the spirit and can be eaten. Bamboo blossoms and bears fruit, mostly in famine years, and bamboo rice becomes a powerful supplement to food. According to records, Fargesia changhua (Phyllostachys yushan) blossomed and bore fruit in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli in Ming dynasty (1607), and the people relied on it to satisfy their hunger. In the eighteenth year of Qing Shunzhi (166 1), people were hungry and cold because of the summer drought, and they relied on bamboo and kudzu root to satisfy their hunger. 1960 ~ 1962 is a year of famine. In Tianmu Mountain area of Zhejiang Province, Indocalamus indocalamus blooms and bears fruit in a large area, with an annual output of100 ~150,000 Jin, of which Tonglu County received 300,000 ~ 400,000 Jin, which greatly relieved the grain in famine years.
