bamboo & Hakka

When Hakkas immigrated from Mainland China to Formosa (Taiwan), sharp knives surely can be found in their bags. With knives and bamboo, they could make bamboowares for daily life.
Nowadays, Hakkas, including me, hardly can find bamboowares around. Bamboos become plants in our garden but not material used to build houses and to make tools. Finding a shop to by bamboowares is on my to-do list now.

One thing i can't get it is why the master of bambooware makes turtle shell?

Bamboo Turtle Shells are used for protecting farmers' back from sun burning....
