Picture this: a centuries-old craft, once reserved for emperors, now popping up on your TikTok feed. 🔥 That’s the magic He Hongliang is creating with Dongyang bamboo weaving, blending ancient techniques with modern-day vibes.
As a fifth-gen bamboo artisan, He’s on a mission to make this heritage craft *~instagrammable~*. 🛍️ By mixing royal-worthy designs like Fanhuang bamboo carving and geometric swastika patterns into phone cases, lamps, and even designer handbags, he’s turning grandma’s attic treasures into must-have items.
“It’s like a collab between the Ming Dynasty and your favorite streetwear brand,” says a fan on Weibo. He’s also tapping Gen-Z’s love for sustainability—think #EcoChic meets #ArtTok. 🌿 His latest drop? Bamboo-woven AirPods cases that sold out faster than concert tickets.
With craft fairs from Shanghai to Milan buzzing about his work, He proves tradition isn’t just history—it’s the ultimate flex. 💪
