. . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Originally, ‘Still Life” was to be named “Jing Wu” which is the Mandarin equal to still life. In Mandarin, the complete deliverance for translating still life is “Jing Wu Xie Sheng”. The words “Xie Sheng” give a meaning of writing life or drawing life.

Because the understory bamboo is an inevitable part of the Eco-forest system. First of all, bamboo is good for erosion soil. Erosion is a major environment threat to the agriculture and becomes a worldwide problem(Zhou, Fu, Xie,Yang and Li, 2005, p.143). However, bamboos can stop this. According to Zhou, Fu, Xie,Yang and Li(2005), bamboos’ root system may produce the soil surface, and its dense foliage can protect against the rains and produce new culm from underground which prevent the…
