10.1.3 The Initial Use of Bamboo
More than 5000 years ago, people used bamboo for projects including shooting,
construction, weaving, books and paper. The first known study of bamboo was record,
during the Jin Dynasty, China, in a book, which included 61 different types; there
was biological description and cultivation method. The reason why bamboo has such
an ancient history in China and widespread use, because over 400 species of grass
grow on the territory of this country, ranking first in the number of growing bamboo
throughout the world.
In 206 BC, the main craft of the Khan Dynasty was the production of paper, and
they produced it precisely from bamboo. It was profitable from 3000 kg of bamboo
to make 1000 kg of paper. There was one drawback with this paper; it was heavy due
to mixing with other materials (amaZulu Inc 2014).
1037–1101 AD Bamboo was used for all kinds of items necessary for life. This
plant was used for firewood, paper, rafts, tiles, hats, shoes, capes and much more
(amaZulu Inc 2014).
In 1486 during the Ming dynasty in China bamboo made coal, which is a sustainable and healthy alternative to traditional coal. Bamboo charcoal creates clean air
and reduces residues of contaminants (amaZulu Inc 2014).
Patented the first bamboo bicycles in 1894 in England. Bicycles from bamboo are
still produced and new types are being created (amaZulu Inc 2014).
During the Second World War, Gucci designers showed creativity and created
the Gucci Bamboo Bag. Since the resources were not enough, the company used
bamboo as handles for bags. Developers of Gucci have developed a patented method
of heating and bending bamboo, this was done in order for the handle of the bag to
retain its shape after cooling and fastening (amaZulu Inc 2014).
1997 The international bamboo and rattan network exists for the development of
environmental sustainability using bamboo and rattan. It was founded in 1997 and
believes that stability can be achieved in poor areas around the world if one finds
ways to use these plants creatively (amaZulu Inc 2014).
Medicine is another area where one cannot do without the beneficial properties
of bamboo. It helps with heartburn as it has the property of cooling, with fainting,
treatment of epilepsy, reduces phlegm in the throat. In India and Tibet apply during
fever and spasms, and is also part of aphrodisiacs and tonics.
In everyday life thanks to the ecological properties of raw bamboo can be found
in your kitchen in the form of wooden spoons, baskets and bowls, which are usually
varnished and painted. Big competition bamboo makes up plastic, as it is environmentally friendly. Covers, keyboards and even computer mice are made of polished
wood.
