What are the soon to be lost crafts from your hometown?

The baking bowl is gone, and the assistant umbrella is gone.

Pots and pans are sold.

The one who beats the white iron is the craftsman who uses the white iron sheet to hit the water basin, heat it quickly (a kind of kettle, I don't know what you ** is called), and the chimney of the charcoal stove. Why do I say him first, because I have a neighbor who does this. In the nineties of the last century, this neighbor was an ordinary farmer, and his family was relatively poor in the whole village.

In order to change his life, the neighbor learned the craft of beating white iron elsewhere, and at that time the stove chimney, the large basin for washing clothes, and the scoop for scooping water were all made of white iron and used in all aspects of rural life. Every day, the yard is dingdingdang, and every market will ride a tricycle to catch up with the market to sell goods, which is very beautiful. With this craft, this neighbor lived a well-off life.

When I went back to my hometown about two years ago, I couldn't hear any noise, and I didn't see my neighbors riding tricycles to the market. As soon as I inquired, I found out that I had long since quit. I asked why?

People say that now everything is a finished product, cheaper than his, and easy to use, who will buy his.

The Huangxian cloth tiger production technique originated in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and has been there so far.

With a history of four or five hundred years, it is mainly distributed in the western coastal areas such as Liaoshang Village, Zhongcun, Beisoqian Village, Nanshan Village and other mountainous areas in the southeast, and most of the makers are middle-aged and elderly women. I remember when I was a child, I had a rag tiger toy at home, and it was the first puppet toy in my life.

In the past, there would be hawkers jumping and picking picks to walk the streets. At one end of the pick is a rectangular cabinet with shelves, and under the cabinet there is a semicircular open wooden cage, inside which there is a small charcoal stove, and a large spoon on the stove is filled with syrup. Blow out candy people in various shapes!

It is also modeled with sugar as a material. When drawing the shape, the artist scoops up the melted sugar juice with a small soup spoon and casts it back and forth on the stone slab to draw the shape. Folk artists are required to be quick and quick-sighted, and to be able to style in one go.

The dough kneader is also known as the art of dough molding. It uses flour and glutinous rice flour as the main raw materials, plus color, paraffin, honey and other ingredients, and is treated with anti-cracking and mildew prevention to make a soft dough of various colors. The dough is turned several times in the hands of the craftsman to make a variety of lifelike figures!

The broom is made by hand, and it is a broom made from the kind of sorghum ear. One is that there are fewer and fewer people growing sorghum, and the other is that there are more and more plastic brooms, so there are fewer and fewer people who rely on this craft to eat, and this craft is about to be lost.

When I was a child, there were often artists who walked the streets and alleys to sharpen scissors and kitchen knives, and they used blunt scissors or kitchen knives at home to sharpen them as bright as new in minutes. But now. There are fewer and fewer people who sharpen scissors and kitchen knives, and some of them are some old people, and now the society is developing faster and faster, and many people are using iron knives just now.

In the past, carpentry was a very popular profession in our hometown, and it was easy for young men to find a partner if they knew how to carpenter. But now it is impossible to support a person by relying on the craft of carpenter, and many carpenters have been forced to change careers.

It's not a craft unique to my hometown, but it's a craft that is about to be lost, such as. A carpenter who can make furniture by hand. Our carpenters here are skilled in starting from a house to the house, flooring, bed, and lamps.

A carpenter can be done by a single person, but I think that as these people get older, these exquisite crafts will be lost.

Sharpen scissors and kitchen knives, when I was a child, I often heard the outside of the village shouting, now I go home and occasionally hear a time, most of them are some uncles in order to subsidize the family out of grinding scissors, just after grinding is indeed better than the new one, from the previous five cents a handful to the current three yuan a handful, but this craft is gradually lost, a township can have one or two will be very good.

In a small mountain village in my hometown, the whole village has been making a living by ironwork since then, and now more and more people are going out to make a living, and this skill is also about to be lost.

Recently, I discovered that in my hometown, these rituals are slowly disappearing. Because many young people are now working outside the home, they don't have the opportunity to understand and learn about it. Over time, these traditional rituals will slowly disappear.

Changzhi pile brocade is made of silk fabric as the main fabric, straw board paper and cotton as the skeleton, and is made by more than ten processes such as cutting, pasting flash, pressing paper twist, continuing cotton, dialing hard folding, pinching soft pleats, rendering and depiction. Its monomer shape is small and exquisite. For example, people are generally between 15 and 25 cm tall.

Due to the uneven thickness of each part of the cotton in the production, the thickness of the paper twist pasted on the edge is different, and the order change when folding and pressing, the picture has a certain three-dimensional effect. The production requirements for the head, hands, ornaments, and props of the characters are very delicate, and the fingers with a diameter of only two millimeters must be filled with cotton and covered with silk. The headdress and props should be carved into very elaborate patterns with gold and silver leaf, and some places should be painted.

In the early days, Changzhi brocade was mainly made as gifts. There are seat screens placed on the strips, and there are several halls and strip screens of more than ten square meters. Its content is mostly auspicious patterns that reflect the customs and etiquette of the year.

Paper-cutting craft, although paper-cutting is quite common in the country, but when I was a child, I remember that basically many people in every household can cut paper, and there are many patterns. But now almost everyone goes out to work, and paper-cutting is no longer a shadow, and there is no sign of it at all.

In my hometown, puppet theatre was a classic, but now fewer and fewer people know it.

In the northern mountains of Tengzhou, my hometown, the production team used to use traditional craftsmanship to make vermicelli and flour skin every New Year, as well as hand-processed peanut oil. In addition, in the mountainous area, in the winter leisure season, it is necessary to ask a weaving craftsman to weave some tools for farm work, but now there are almost none.

In the past, every household used a large cauldron. It will inevitably be damaged after a long time, and it will be wasted if it is discarded, so it needs to be repaired. Dustpans and baskets used to be woven from bamboo and wooden strips.

The stiff bamboo or wooden strips immediately become extremely soft in the hands of early craftsmen, transform into various shapes, and finally make various tools. This craft is rare anymore, and brooms are generally made of sagebrush grass. There are only two processes to make a broom:

Tying and sharpening, but tying is a technical job. After being neatly shaped, a handful of brooms or cooking brooms can be shoeed out in no time.

Huangxian big sugar (also known as "Huangxian malt sesame sugar") production technology began in the Qing Daoguang period, has a history of nearly 200 years, mainly concentrated in the center of Lutou Town Bo Village, the existing big sugar workshop and workshop ruins more than 60. Huangxian sugar is a local famous food, sweet and crispy, and sells well in the surrounding areas and even in the northeast and other places. In Yantai, there is a saying called "Twenty-three, sugar melon dipping", which means that on the day of the new year, you want to eat sugar melon.

Sugar melons are also called big sugar. Among them, Huangxian Sugar is the most famous and is one of the intangible cultural heritage of Yantai City. The "sweet process" of Huangxian Big Sugar is hard, and it is not easy to work closely with many people, fight for physical strength and hard work.

Each sugar mill has always emphasized faith and quality, and the raw materials and utensils used are "original ecology" and have an excellent reputation. Li Hongshan, the inheritor of the craft, said that as the food on the market becomes more and more abundant, the sales of traditional sugar are not optimistic. Over the years, some other sugar mills in the village that make big sugar have closed one after another, and I don't want to lose my craftsmanship, so I have been insisting on doing it.

In order to pass on the craft of making big sugar, Li Hongshan and his wife have cultivated their children's interest in making big sugar since they were young, and now their son is doing it well.

Huangxian meat box belongs to the intangible cultural heritage project, which is said to have started in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of four or five hundred years. At that time, some well-off families, in the New Year's festivals, weddings, funerals, birthday celebrations and other important ceremonies, by making this meat box to entertain guests, because it originated in our Huang County (now Longkou), so later he was called "Huang County meat box". The inheritance of "Huangxian meat box" is very meaningful, only passed on to the female relatives of the family, daughters and daughters-in-law are inheritors, the production process is relatively trivial, and the time is also very long, such as branding, it needs to be repeated in the kitchen, and it can endure these to be qualified to learn to make meat boxes, after all, the meat filling recipe seasoning can be learned quickly, but the skills must be honed year after year.

Baskets, baskets, every family has it", the baskets and baskets mentioned here are willow weaving. Willow weaving is a traditional handicraft widely spread among the people in our country, which is created and invented by people for the needs of production and life, and is a typical representative of agricultural culture. Willow weaving has a long history, as early as the Neolithic Age, China has appeared.

The willow weaving that spreads in the towns and surrounding areas of Muping is also born and developed along with the production and life of Muping people.

One. Carpenter. Attentive friends will definitely find that in addition to the houses built in the countryside, most of the houses are civil structures, and the furniture such as tables, chairs, benches, etc. are also made of wood.

This gave rise to carpenters, who could make all kinds of furniture, as well as build beams, bridges, and other things related to wood. But now that there are so many materials, and people have so many options, very few people use wood to build houses or do other things.

Two. Craftsman. Various technologies are used and popularized in today's society, including traditional handicrafts.

In our daily life, there are a large number of plastic products, which have greatly replaced rice products, and the ancient and traditional industry of rice is also facing disappearance, although the materials they use are plants such as bamboo, but the production speed is slow and not durable, and gradually lose the market, and the output of products in the industry begins to decline.

Three. Fried cornflower. "Fried cornflower", this post-70s, post-80s should be more familiar, there were no snacks to eat in the countryside before, and the favorite thing to eat is this fried cornflower, from the family that some cornflowers are fried to the people, and then there are snacks to eat, and now few people will know this craft, after all, there are machines that are directly fried, which is much more convenient than this.

How should we inherit a craft that is about to be lost? First of all, skilled craftsmen are the practitioners of the "craftsman spirit" and play a very important role in the operation of traditional crafts. Therefore, we should pay attention to traditional craftsmen and traditional crafts.

Secondly, it is necessary to have a sense of protection and financial investment, delineate the scope of protection, give traditional crafts a certain amount of financial rewards or take the way of "going out, please come in", and vigorously carry out exchange activities. Finally, taking advantage of the general trend of the development of the social era to effectively disseminate, through short, so that more craftsmen are "discovered" by the public and "discovered" by the market, which is also an important step to revitalize traditional crafts and carry them forward, which is an important aspect of inheriting traditional crafts.

Only when we inherit the traditional craftsmanship and let China's "quintessence" carry forward, can the traditional craftsmanship be passed on and carried forward.

For example, tinkerers, carpenters, including melting waste iron into new kitchen utensils, plucking ears, sterilizing pigs, and dustpans or baskets woven from bamboo; To increase publicity efforts and cultivate more outstanding talents, subsidies can be increased.

Carpenters, paper tie people, sugar paintings, fried corn kernels, and silver jewelry. You can start a live broadcast to let these people see the traditional craftsmanship and attract many people to save it.

Cutting window flowers, making lanterns, making bamboo baskets, sticky candy people, carpenters. It is necessary to recruit more people to learn these things and promote the advantages of these things to everyone.

The development of society is changing with each passing day, life is getting better and better, but the traditional crafts are becoming less and less, some of these crafts will be seen, some will never be seen again, many of the old crafts we are familiar with, are quietly disappearing, the following do not know if you have seen.

1. Na sole, handmade cloth shoes.

Handmade sole is a traditional sole process in rural areas, mille-feuille sole is a typical representative of handmade sole, the sole is framed with white cloth, multi-layered and made, dense needlework, handmade cloth shoes are comfortable to wear, lightweight, warm in winter, breathable and sweat-absorbing in summer, but gradually, with the development of rural areas, young people are now ugly, are buying shoes to wear, few people learn to accept soles, in the past, farmers wear shoes are made at home, wear single shoes in summer, wear cotton shoes in winter are very warm, Now that the material conditions in the countryside are better, the nabu shoes have gradually been lost, and the people who know this craft in the countryside are slowly getting old.

2. Weave straw hats, baskets and brooms.

Weaving art is a craft, weaving straw hats, bamboo baskets and brooms, very common when I was a child, at that time every household in a lot of tools are their own weaving, at the beginning there was no umbrella when they were weaving straw hats, and brooms should be good-looking, but also easy to use, every household in the countryside has planted seedlings, and so on to weave their own, baskets and baskets are commonly used tools in rural areas, now they have been changed to plastic, will weave these have been old, this craft has been lost.

3. Sew clothes.

In the past, the living conditions in the countryside were poor, they were very thrifty, things were broken and could be repaired, and those that could be repaired were repaired, unlike now they are rotten and lost, every family in the countryside has a sewing machine, stepping on the pedal, both can make clothes and sew clothes, and the newly bought shoes when I was a child are afraid of opening the glue, and I hope to wear them for a long time, so I have to go to the shoe repair master to walk a circle of threads, now life is good, the sewing machine does not know where to go, the clothes and shoes are not broken, and naturally no one learns.
