新素养 文化意识 ① When my school began a project called "Cultural Guardians(文化守护者)", I chose to learn from Master Zhang, a bamboo weaver(编制工) in our neighbourhood. Little did I know this experience would reshape my understanding of "tradition".
② As I entered Master Zhang's workshop, his rough hands were shaping green bamboo strips(条) into a thin tea tray(托盘). "True weaving begins here," he pointed to his head, "and designs take shape long before hands move."
③ My first try failed completely. Bamboo strips were broken as if they were angry. "Don't lose heart," Master Zhang smiled, guiding my fingers to feel the soft strips. "These were boiled 7 times over pinewood fire—modern machines can't give them this temperature."
④ As we worked，he shared hidden meanings：Six-sided fish basket patterns(样式) meant good luck. Tight and loose circles showed life's balance. My notebook was filled with drawings and wise words："Good weaving breathes like living skin."
⑤ The magic moment came two weeks later. Sunlight shone through the lantern I have completed，forming shadows(影子) of birds on the wall. So amazing! Thanks to Zhang's special weaving method. Elderly neighbours mistook it for Zhang's creation until he said proudly, "The young keep traditions alive!"
⑥ Today，I still spend hours on "old things"，such as bamboo pencil boxes or toys. When asked why，I show them how the bamboo stays stronger than plastic—just like true tradition can both adapt(适应) and last longer.
