Which one kind of plant doesn't have to be able to have the so profound influence equally like the bamboo to humanity's civilization, we the bamboo the function and the influence which the material civilization and the spiritual civilization brings for the humanity, is called the bamboo culture.。

一、 bamboo and Chinese history
　　In in our country ancient times myth fable, already reflected the bamboo the use, accurately records the source in the Yangshao culture. In 1954 excavates in the Xi'an half slope village has been apart from now approximately about 6000 Yangshao culture ruins, on unearthed earthenware might identify "the bamboo" character mark, explained before this, the bamboo has studied and the use for the people, also was our country people research and may trace using bamboo's history to 56,000 year ago new time time. The Chinese character origins the Yangshao culture which collapses in the primitive society, but "bamboo" character primitive mark then should before this appear. Had also discovered in 7000 ago Zhejiang Yuyao County Hemu ferry spotprimitive society ruins bamboo's material object, obviously had the close relation in the primitive society time bamboo and people's life. Because only then the bamboo manner has used, only then must create one kind of language mark for it to express.
　　The research proved that, our country Shang Dynasty had known the bamboo each kind of use, one of them serves as the bamboo slip, namely writes the character in the bamboo strip (sometimes uses wood chip) on, again used them the string string in to become together "book", Chinese character "book" namely from this but. The bamboo slip and the wooden slip have preserved Eastern Han Dynasty before large quantities of precious literature for us, like "Shangshu", "Ritual Records" and "Confucian analects" and so on all is writes on the bamboo slip and the wooden slip. When Shang Dynasty substitutes the bamboo simple form the book to call "books written on bamboo slips", calls "letter from home" with the bamboo simple form letter. The bamboo pen invention also has development a in the cultural history page, on the Yin generation of culture vestige unearthed animal bones and tortoise shells, the jade piece and the earthenware all may see the Zhu ink handwriting which the writing brush writes. The Hubei Zeng Houyi grave and in the sandbank Hubei unearthed Spring and Autumn Period Warring States grave cultural relic also has the evidence. Using bamboo's another great achievement is a papermaking. As early as started in 9 centuries our country with the bamboo papermaking, compared Europe approximately early in 1000. After natural bamboo paper big development this. About used the bamboo papermaking, the Ming Dynasty "Tiangongkaiwu" center to make the detailed record, and attached the bamboo paper working drawing. With the bamboo papermaking, symbolized our country ancient times the papermaking technology huge development and the achievement, promoted the Chinese culture prosperity. Before in fact appears in the bamboo paper, makes the paper tool also not to be able to leave the bamboo. Starts from the bamboo slip to the bamboo paper appearance, the bamboo to hold the important status throughout in the cultural history, to preserved the human knowledge, forms the nationality well-established, the magnificent historical culture to direct and the indirect function.
　　Our country ancient times bamboo's use also had many aspects, for instance the Spring and Autumn Period Warring States time, our ancestor has made bamboo system tool "which drew water using the release lever orange" as well as with bamboo tube irrigation by pumping "high extension barrell car". The bamboo also played in the weapon history to the vital role, shot arrows from the primitive bamboo bow to the Spring and Autumn Period time pierre-perdue machine, Song Dynasty's fire poisoned arrow and the bamboo tube flintlock and so on all is the ancient times bamboo system weapon.
　　The bamboo department writing situation analyzes from the Chinese character, also might see the Chinese bamboo use the ancient history, the ancient not just is not supple ", non- grass non- wooden, the minor difference spatial was solid, the Datong program" plant called it the bamboo. Knows from the shape starts, carries on the bamboo the processing, makes the goods, also character grows the bamboo department writing by "the bamboo". Enhances unceasingly along with the humanity to bamboo's understanding, the bamboo class use is day by day widespread. But bamboo department writing also inevitably along with it increase. Our country dictionary set (in 1979 version) the Chinese Communist Party included bamboo department writing 209, like pen, nationality, book, Jan, chopsticks, cage, flute, Sheng and so on. All previous dynasties each kind of dictionary includes is more considerable. But such as "letter from home saying all is well", "fade silk bold bamboo", "friends from childhood", "a late in the morning" kind of idiom also all is containing and the bamboo related interesting literary reference. These bamboo department writing and the idiom involve social and life each domain, on the one hand had reflected the bamboo knows and the use day by day for the humanity, on the other hand had reflected the bamboo in the Chinese several millenniums histories in the industry and agriculture production, cultural art, the daily life and so on variously is playing the vital role.

When the people have the leisurely and carefree mood strolls Yu Qingqing under the green bamboo, one kind infinite is comfortable and distant Italy then can arise spontaneously, no wonder Su Dongpo said the "rather food does not have the meat, cannot occupy does not have bamboo". Therefore, in the park, nearby the stockaded village, a clump of piece by piece green bamboo both beautified human's life, and can influence and sublimate human's noble sentiment.
　　The bamboo does not have the peony splendidly, does not have the pine and cypress greatly, does not have the students to be tender and beautiful, but it modest elegant characteristic, the high character and integrity moral character praises for the people.

　　"Poetry" is the our country first poetry total collection, has the massive bamboos poem, mentions directly has 5, appears 7 time; Indirectly mentions has several dozens to be many. Like "Poem Wei Feng the Qi Austria" said that, "gazes other Qi Austria, green bamboo beautiful and luxuriant". In the history center the above related bamboo's record has the different view to "Poetry", but refers to the bamboo is in fact conclusive without doubt. "Poetry" forms in the Spring and Autumn Period time, hereafter in various dynasty each kind of ancient book all has the bamboo poen and picture record.
　　When narrates bamboo poen and picture, we cannot not mention several moving loves bamboos story. According to "Is peaceful For the emperor's inspection" recorded, the Jin generation of big calligrapher king emblem (sub- You) (Wang Hsi-Chih sub-) once "left things with another temporarily the human spatial dwelling to live, causes the command to plant the bamboo. Or asked temporarily resides what be annoyed you? Eats delicacies chants long time, straight refers to the bamboo to say that, What may on first not have this person! "he always loves the bamboo, may calculate the bamboo good intimate friend. Song Dynasty Su Dongpo the appraisal very is also high to the bamboo, he "Yu Qianseng the Green Jun Porch" center said in: "may cause the food not to have the meat, cannot cause to occupy does not have the bamboo.
