Bamboo root carving is a traditional handicraft made from bamboo roots, mainly produced in Nanjing, Jiangsu and Jiading, Shanghai. It was once divided into the "Jiading School" and the "Jinling School". Chinese artworks made from bamboo include bamboo carvings, bamboo root carvings, bamboo bonsai, bamboo armrests, etc. In the southern region, there are dense bamboo forests growing. Bamboo, as a plant, had extraordinary significance for ancient literati. The phrase 'It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo' was used by the Song dynasty literary giant Su Dongpo to express his spiritual world, but it also reflects the great poet's love for bamboo.
