Abstract: As a natural， renewable， and excellent mechanical properties ecological material， bamboo demonstrates unique potential in ship models making. However， a review of existing literature shows that research mainly focuses on conventional materials such as wood and plastic， and studies on bamboo primarily concentrate on architectural applications. There is a lack of systematic exploration on ship models， especially the black awning boat， a traditional vessel model characteristic of the Jiangnan water towns culture. This paper will focus on the bamboo craftsmanship involved in making black awning boat models using bamboo as the core material. The aim is to fill the gap in the application of bamboo in traditional ship model making， provide new ideas for the modernization and innovation of traditional shipbuilding techniques， and promote the use of bamboo in the fields of culture and ship model making.

Key words: ancient ship models, bamboo craftsmanship, traditional craftsmanship
