In the heart of east China’s Zhejiang Province lies Dongyang, a region celebrated for centuries as the 'home of a hundred crafts.' But one tradition stands out: its breathtaking bamboo weaving artistry.
For three generations, the He Fuli family has turned humble bamboo into intricate masterpieces, blending ancient techniques with modern flair.
What’s the secret? Think of it as nature meets ‘Inception’—layers of painstaking craftsmanship, innovation, and a dash of rebellion against time. From delicate home décor to avant-garde designs, their work has captivated global audiences, proving tradition isn’t just preserved—it evolves.
'Every strand tells a story,' says He Fuli, whose family adapts their methods to today’s tech-savvy world while honoring roots. Now, CGTN’s documentary ‘Weaving Bamboo Miracles’ (premiering July 29) pulls back the curtain on this cultural legacy. Spoiler: It’s not just about baskets anymore.
Why care? Because this is heritage with a heartbeat—a rare glimpse into how art bridges generations and continents. Perfect for #Travelers seeking hidden gems or #Professionals eyeing sustainable design inspo. Ready to geek out on culture? Mark your calendars!
