Product Name: Bamboo Weaving Products Origin: Shengxian County Product Description: Shengxian bamboo weaving is mainly produced in the county seat and surrounding areas such as Ganlin and Chongren. It has been renowned since the Ming and Qing dynasties, with workshops dedicated to bamboo weaving established at that time. In 1937 (the 26th year of the Republic of China), the finely woven bamboo basket made by Ye Guanghua’s shop in the county seat won an outstanding award at the Zhejiang–Jiangxi Specialty Joint Exhibition. Shengxian bamboo weaving is crafted from locally abundant moso bamboo, early bamboo, golden bamboo, and late swallow bamboo. The main products are distinguished by four key techniques: animal simulations, bleached bamboo weaving, decorative bamboo strips, and lacquered bamboo baskets. The animal simulations are remarkably lifelike and full of charm; the bleached bamboo weaving is pure white and sparkling, elegant and refined; the decorative bamboo strips feature gold inlays, exquisitely ornate and tastefully luxurious; the lacquered bamboo baskets are glossy and sleek, resembling fine porcelain. Its products are exported to over 80 countries and regions across five continents and are hailed as “Oriental Treasures” and “World-Class Masterpieces.” Large-scale bamboo-woven landscape screens such as *Yandang Mountain* and *Shaoxing East Lake* are displayed in the Zhejiang Hall of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing; the artistic piece *Mountain Eagle* is exhibited in the White House in the United States.

I. Production History and Current Status Shengzhou bamboo pressed noodles have a long history, are finely made, and make a great gift for family and friends. They were already well-known in the late Qing Dynasty and are one of the traditional specialties of Shengzhou. These noodles are mainly produced in areas such as Chongren, Zhongnan, Huangze, and Lincheng, with the Chongren area being the primary production hub. Huyin and Xitan bamboo pressed noodles enjoy particular fame. The city produces around 300–400 tons per year, but due to low yield — only about 80 kilograms of noodles from 100 kilograms of white rice — and high grain wastage, production once dropped to just over 50 tons annually during times of food scarcity. In an effort to conserve grain and improve yield, processing methods were modified, which led to a decline in quality. As a result, traditional techniques were restored to maintain the classic characteristics. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, the rural household responsibility system was implemented, and with increased grain production, the production of bamboo pressed noodles also recovered. Many farmers introduced electric grinders and noodle pressing machines. According to 1985 statistics, there were over 300 old-style wooden presses and 26 mechanical presses, indicating a thriving noodle production scene.
