Bamboo nails were mainly used to build temples, ancestral halls, ancestral halls, wooden furniture, and roof tops for their own houses. In Ming Dynasty furniture, bamboo nails were often used for reinforcement. They were drilled into the furniture through small bamboo nails to enhance the stability of the furniture. Bamboo nails were also used as fixing parts for bamboo furniture. According to different uses, they could be divided into pressing nails and bolt nails, which were used to fix the bamboo surface and the position of the bolt. In addition, bamboo nails could also be used in ancient buildings.

Bamboo could be fixed with bamboo nails or nails. The bamboo nail was a fixing piece used to fix bamboo furniture. It was shaped like a round rod and required the top to be big and the bottom to be small, with a flat surface. In addition, nails could also be used to fix it. One of the methods was to first use a drill bit that was slightly thinner than a nail to drill holes and then nail them into the bamboo.

The nails were placed in the bamboo to replenish the iron element. Rich bamboo was a type of leaf-viewing green plant. Yellow leaves appeared because clear water could not provide enough iron, resulting in insufficient synthesis of the green leaves. It was said that putting a rusty nail in the water could release iron elements to the bamboo, thus making up for the lack of iron elements. However, placing nails could not solve all the problems of yellow leaves, because there were many reasons for yellow leaves, such as low temperature, poor ventilation, water pollution, insufficient nutrients, and so on. Placing iron nails could only solve part of the problem of yellowing leaves from the maintenance method. Therefore, placing nails was not the standard answer to solving the problem of bamboo yellowing. The key was the maintenance method.
There were several ways to prevent the bamboo nails from cracking. First of all, you can use an electric drill to drill holes at the position where the nail is going to enter. The diameter of the hole should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the nail, so that the nail can better enter the bamboo and reduce the possibility of cracking. In addition, when using the nail, one had to take it easy and enter it bit by bit to avoid hitting it sideways. In addition, choosing some softer bamboo, such as red pine, willow, etc., could also reduce the risk of cracking. Keeping the bamboo in a moist environment also helps to prevent cracking. You can put a few basins of water or keep the air moist next to the bamboo products. In short, the above methods could be tried to reduce the cracking of bamboo nails.

The cut surface was flat, 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 would vary according to the use.
