Why are bamboos nailed together?

Bamboo could be connected together in many ways. Common methods included binding, inserting, burying, welding, and bolt connection. The binding method was the most primitive and basic method of connection. It could be done with rope or thread. The inserting method required cutting off the bamboo skin at both ends of the bamboo to form a plug-shaped tip. Then, the two bamboos were connected and fixed with glue, cement, or other materials. The method of burying the head was suitable for thicker bamboo. First, one end was made into a cylinder, then a notch was cut on the other end of the bamboo, and finally, the cylinder was fastened on it. The welding method was suitable for smaller bamboo pieces, which could be connected by an electric welding machine. The bolt connection method required holes to be punched in the bamboo, and then bolts, nuts, and pads were used to connect the bamboo. These methods could be used to choose the appropriate connection method to fix the bamboo according to the needs.

Bamboo nails were a type of fixing piece used to fix bamboo furniture. According to different uses, bamboo nails could be divided into pressing nails and supporting bolts nails. The pressing sheet nail is used to cooperate with the pressing sheet to fix the bamboo surface; the bolt supporting nail is used to support the bolt position, such as the bottom of each wall on the support, to bear the seat force of the wall and fix the position of the wall. The shape of the bamboo nail was generally a round rod with a large top and a small bottom. The cut surface was straight, the cross section of the bamboo green was slightly narrower than the bamboo yellow, and the wall thickness was equal to the width of the bamboo green surface. The specific specifications varied according to the use. In Ming Dynasty furniture, bamboo nails were often used to drill small bamboo nails into the mortise and tenon to strengthen it.

The most prosperous bamboo was the Buddha's belly bamboo. The Buddha's belly bamboo symbolized good luck and rolling wealth. Its bamboo was wide and large, and each section was like an arhat stacked together. It was round and very cute. The Buddha's belly bamboo was suitable for making bonsai and was very attractive to raise at home.

The Chief Monk of Night Scripture was nailed to the cliff cave in chapter 128.

There were several ways to nail bamboo without breaking. One method was to first use a drill bit that was slightly thinner than a nail to drill a hole, and then nail it. Another method was to soak the bamboo before nailing it. Another method was to burn the nails red before nailing them into the bamboo. Another suggestion was to cut off the tip of the nail with pliers before drilling holes in the bamboo. These methods were all to reduce the risk of the bamboo splitting.
