Features: Humans have evolved from the forest, and there is a special bond between nature and bamboo and wood. Due to advancements in craftsmanship and the needs of aesthetic psychology, daily bamboo and wood products have evolved into three categories: daily necessities, daily handicrafts, and purely decorative items. The latter two are the main objects of collection. At the same time, a significant portion of daily bamboo and wood products gradually reveals their collectible value over time. The author has nearly 20 years of experience in wood carving and has recently worked as an editor for a handicrafts magazine, which has given him a deeper affection for bamboo and wood crafts. Bamboo and wood are a major category in collecting. Bamboo and wood handicrafts are characterized by a long history, diverse materials, a wide variety of types, and exquisite craftsmanship. What is discussed here is only a small part of it. By promoting the collection of bamboo and wood, we hope more people will fall in love with and care about bamboo and wood handicrafts, contributing to the preservation and development of traditional crafts.
