A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 54 [054] Bamboo Weaving Craft

"That's what I saw people take!"

Zhuo Lin said that she went to the river and saw someone taking it, and at the vegetable market in the city, someone carried it and sold fish.

"Even if you know the shape and can draw it, you shouldn't be able to tell the reason. I really want to open your little brain and see what's inside!"

Zhuo Lin hugged her head instantly, with a naive look: "No, you'll die when you open your head, daddy is bad!"

"Ahahaha...," Zhuo Dajun laughed loudly, walked over and squatted in front of her, and gently rubbed her head: "If you don't open it, don't open it, daddy scares you, then you have to tell daddy, the reason is you are How do you know?"

"I didn't say it, I heard it from others. It's by the river. I squatted in front of an old grandfather and asked, and the grandfather told me. He even taught me to weave a small basket out of straw,"

There were not many opportunities for Zhuo Lin to go to the river. The only time Zhuo Dajun knew was when he was pushed down by a little girl from the next village. Did this little girl go to the river again when he left home?This is not impossible, Zhuo Dajun took it like this, and humbly asked his daughter how to weave bamboo baskets.

At the moment when there are no plastic products, bamboo baskets are very common in places like them where a lot of bamboo is planted. In addition to bamboo baskets, there are also various daily necessities such as bamboo baskets and fish baskets. After all, whether it is in the mountains or in the village, almost every household has to plant some bamboo in front of the door. In addition to being beautiful, it is to chop and weave some handy daily necessities when it is useful.

Zhuo Lin has carefully looked at the weaving skills here. Compared with the south, their Central Plains, which is neither south nor north, is still far behind.

Coincidentally, in her previous life, she also made several videos about bamboo weaving, and the hits were not low. She even sold a lot of goods for her fellow villagers. For this reason, she traveled to many places in the south to learn from them.

Because she made the video sincerely, in order to make the video, she lived in the mountains for a long time and learned a lot of crafts from her grandparents. What you see in pastoral villages and county towns is much more exquisite and practical.

The relatively strong bamboo is suitable for making large bamboo baskets, not for the small bamboo baskets with cumbersome craftsmanship, and it is best to use thin bamboo baskets for this kind of small bamboo baskets.

Because of the wear and tear of this kind of bamboo baskets every year, every household has the knives used to weave bamboo baskets. This kind of bamboo knife can quickly divide bamboo into bamboo strips of the same size and thickness, and then overlap the bamboo strips up and down, left and right for weaving. , The tools are ready-made, and there are bamboos planted outside the door. My father went out to cut bamboo without any hesitation.

Under Zhuo Lin's command, Zhuo Dajun divided the bamboo into bamboo strips of appropriate size, and then according to Zhuo Lin's guidance, he started to weave the bottom and weaved to the final lock, because Zhuo Dajun himself had a good foundation, and Zhuo Lin mainly Based on warp and weft weaving techniques, a complete set of weaving techniques from sparse weaving, inserting, threading, cutting, locking, nailing, tying, and covering, etc., is surprisingly neat and beautiful. If dyed bamboo chips or bamboo silk are used Insert and twist each other to form a variety of bright and lively patterns with strong color contrast, then this is a real handicraft.

In Chengdu, there is a very good weaving method, the porcelain-bodied bamboo weaving process.

This kind of bamboo is made of specially long no-knot porcelain bamboo from the Chengdu area that has been strictly selected. Handcrafted to produce fine bamboo threads.

Porcelain-bodied bamboo weaving products only use one layer of bamboo on the surface, and the fibers are very dense. At the same time, special treatment has been carried out, which can withstand drying, no deformation, no insects, water resistance and can be washed. It is the best work in bamboo weaving technology, but their side There is no such bamboo, so the thick silk bamboo weaving process is used.
