1.Bamboo had much to do with the daily lives of people in ancient China. One of the main reasons is that people can make lots of things from bamboo, like beds, chairs and spoons. 2.在纸张出现之前，人们在竹子上写字。 People also used bamboo to make weapons for catching animals or fighting in ancient(古代的) China. Besides, bamboo shoots(笋)were a popular dish, because they were crisp and delicious. 3. It was easy to find bamboo in Chinese medicine.

Today we can still find bamboo all over the land(土地) of China.

Bamboo is tall with thick leaves. People like bamboo very much. They often plant it in the yards and in the parks. It can stand the high temperature of the summer and the cold of the winter. 4. It is a plant that is able to grow on poor land.

Bamboo is always a subject of many poems and paintings. For example, Su Dongpo, said that people could not live without bamboo. People love it for its purity(纯洁) and elegance(优雅). They compare the qualities of bamboo to those of man. 5.所以竹子在中国传统文化中起到了重要作用。
