Thanks to the curator’s assistance, so that we have a good environment to learn, and thank Mr. Chen Gaoming for his busy schedule to explain bamboo art to us. Bamboo is an important SDGs green carbon plant, bamboo carbon sequestration capacity is stronger than wood, carbon storage potential, can help mitigate the greenhouse effect, bamboo will become an important material for circular economy and design in the future. There is an important concept in the management of bamboo forests, “save three to go four to leave seven”, bamboo grows to the fourth year is almost old, seven years is too old. Bamboo grows for three years to save, after the fourth year must be cut down, so that the new bamboo has room to grow. Otherwise it will age in the seventh year and will not grow well.
