Value of Bamboo(2009/08/18)
    Bamboo,belong the Bambusoideae Gramineae of monocotyledons. With special forms,non-grass or non-wood,hollow stems of nodes,it generally appears as evergreen trees or shrubs. As the center of world's bamboo growing areas,China boasts the country of world's richest bamboo resources,largest output of bamboo products,and the longest cultivated history. The area of bamboo forests in China accounts for1 /5 of the world. Growing fast,bamboo is a plant that can be repeatedly used with hundreds of applications in building materials,food,paper making,packaging,arts and crafts,etc. Archaeology confirmed as early as thousands of years ago our ancestors began the use of bamboo slips,bamboo clothing,and bamboo painting brushes,which records the history. From ancient time,in the eyes of the Chinese people bamboo has the characteristic symbols and personality ideals of tall and straight,modest and open-minded
    1. Inelasticity of bamboo: the hardness of bamboo reaches 32HB,higher than beech (23HB),oak (24HB); bamboo is of high density,its bending strength,tensile resistance and the bearing capacity is generally 1-2 times of that of trees,its compressive resistance (0.73G/cm3),and beech (0.63G/cm3),oak (0.67 G/cm3).
    2. The stability of bamboo: Bamboo is the crude plants,strong density,and small flexible space. It can use its flexibility to balance contraction,expansion in different environments,and the structure is relatively stable,therefore bamboo products are not easy to deformation.
    3. Aesthetic: the growth of semi-cylindrical bamboo stem is relatively small,bamboo surface to receive light evenly,without apparently difference of yin and yang,thus with a small color difference,uniform color,harmony tonal. Since ancient times,bamboo is elegant as a symbol of chastity and good luck. Bamboo,clear texture,beautiful appearance,simple decency,and bamboo products,of both fragrant smell and elegant texture meet the people’s wishes and household trends of returning to nature.
    4. Bamboo fiber clothing is high-end fashion. In recent years,scientists have discovered,through the scientific method to deal with bamboo,the bamboo fiber can be spun. Slender and soft bamboo fiber,made into breathable clothing with a strong inhibition of bacteria,which is a new type of materials to manufacturing high-grade underwear,is a new kind of natural fiber materials followed by the cotton,hemp,silk,wool.
    5,Bamboo decorations: in more than 1200 kinds of bamboo,the Moso bamboo is best timber bamboo. As for its hard quality,elegant surface,it is the best decorative wood in the new century. Because of its unique uniform vein and hard texture,Moso bamboo is very suitable for the production of flooring and other decorative panels. Bamboo flooring retaining the high density,good toughness,excellent strength properties,natural durability,bending resistance,wear-resistant anti-corrosion characteristics,not only beautiful,but also durable,is recognized as a new type of decorative materials.
