What are some of the traditional skills that are about to be lost in China?

Mane people, Huishan clay figures, hairy monkeys, wood-block New Year paintings, silk, thangka, clamp vale, faithful lanterns, carved lacquer, marionettes, etc., these are all traditional crafts that are about to be lost, and there are many, many more.

There are many skills that are about to be lost in China. It is mainly the development of science and technology, as well as the convenience of science and technology, that have replaced these cumbersome skills. For example, artificial papermaking. There is also silk and sugar art, etc.

For example, the bone shrinking skill in traditional juggling is a traditional skill that is about to be lost, because it is too painful to practice, and few people are willing to inherit this art now.

The mane man is made of clay, straw, cotton, colored clothes and pig bristles, and uses the characters in shadow puppetry and Peking Opera as characters to create different images.

I think shadow puppetry is a more traditional skill, but now I feel that it is slowly disappearing, and I can't see the existence of shadow puppetry.

Sugar man, now it is rare to see a professional sugar man master in China, and painting a sugar man is not a simple matter.

In the era of mechanization, the oldest traditional handmade papermaking process, although still in use, has been largely lost.
