In the Carpenter, it is said: "The axe saws off the edges of decay, and the one-eyed one-eyed look oblique." Skillful hands follow the heart, and the founder ink line is pulled. The poem vividly describes the working state of the carpenters and their unique skills.
Carpenters, as a profession that has contributed the most to mankind, with exquisite skills, with dedication, leanness, dedication and innovative craftsmanship, have brought us an item that has an impact on the world.
As the old saying goes, prosperous antiques, chaotic gold. Nowadays, as people's material lives are getting better and better, and they have more and more money in their hands, collecting antique cultural relics has become another hobby. We have seen exquisite porcelain, seen all kinds of rare treasures, but today to talk about this collection, I believe many people have not seen, it is a baby stroller.
Since ancient times, heirs are the most important issues of the people, first there is no filial piety, there is no later, the saying is great, in such a cultural background, the education of heirs and the food and clothing in life, etc., have become the most important things that people are most concerned about. After all, under family planning, there are fewer children in each family, and children are the future of the motherland and the hope of the motherland. Thus, this also establishes the child's place in the family.
So, in today's children's paradise with many toys, can they also enjoy a variety of objects in ancient times?
First, the history of the development of strollers
Nowadays, the brands of strollers are various, and the styles are also diverse, and the corresponding prices and functions are different. This is a gratifying result that belongs to the development of science and technology, but what about in ancient times? The ancient craftsman spirit is still admired to this day, and its arch culture is also long-standing. In all the artisan industries, carpenters play a very large role in the development of the country, from the Forbidden City to the construction of the Forbidden City, to furniture and utensils, etc., which undoubtedly does not affect people's living conditions.
Therefore, carpentry was a very respectable profession in ancient times, and China's bucket arch culture and so on were all derived from the superb skills of carpenters. For carpenters, strollers are just a small thing. However, because most of the materials used are wood, the material of wood is too strong, which will definitely affect the baby's sense of experience.
As a result, carpenters also began to continue to improve the manufacture of baby carriages, for example, in the Qing Dynasty, there were craftsmen who produced carved and painted baby carriages. During the Republic of China period, there were surrounded design strollers, and in modern times, there were bamboo woven strollers.
The development of these objects also symbolizes the continuous improvement of the craftsmanship of mainland craftsmen. However, although the stroller was invented and manufactured in the mainland, in fact, there are not many preserved to this day, and it can even be said that this is a very rare collection of varieties, and today it is just a baby stroller.
Since the reform and opening up, China has developed rapidly in military, scientific, technological, cultural and economic fields, and among them, the most closely related and important thing is the huge economic change. It can be seen from people's clothing, food, shelter, and transportation alone that the motherland has borne fruitful results in reform and opening up. As more money became available, people began to develop into various interests and hobbies, and collecting became a popular trend.
However, with the increasing number of collectors, the types and appearance of the collection have also entered the public eye. Among them, it is very easy to have the phenomenon of mixing hands and touching fish, shoddy and false. In order to make more collectors no longer be deceived, many TV stations have opened special columns to give everyone free treasure hunting and teach everyone to identify antiques and historical knowledge. Since the beginning of the treasure hunting program, the collection that appeared on the stage has been dazzling and dizzying.
Most of these collections are still dominated by exquisite porcelain and pottery. There are few extremely practical objects in life, when the experts have some regrets, this day the program team came to a collector, brought such a collection, shocked everyone, so this collection is true or false, and what is its uniqueness?
Second, the stroller stunned everyone
In a treasure hunting program, a woman pushed her own antiques to the big screen and invited experts to help find treasures. The woman claimed that it was an ancient stroller with four wheels under the carriage, and the appearance was no different from that of a normal ancient chair.
However, with the introduction of the woman, the crowd discovered the mystery of the stroller, that is, it can be transformed from a stroller to a baby stroller. This is a skill that cannot be achieved by today's strollers, which shows the exquisite craftsmanship of our ancestors in China.
The treasure experts present also expressed a strong interest in this, have come forward to watch carefully, through a careful appraisal, experts concluded that this stroller is indeed the ancient classical furniture of the mainland, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties there was indeed such a deformable furniture, but it is really preserved to this day, and appeared in front of the public is really the first time.
The material used in this stroller is grass flower pear, and the process used in its pulp and interface has extremely significant characteristics of the times, which can be concluded that this stroller has a history of hundreds of years.
So, for such a precious stroller, where does a woman get it? How will experts value it?
Third, the value of more than 300,000, it is recommended that collectors do not sell
In fact, we can guess that the family that can use this kind of stroller is definitely not a small family, and this conclusion can be drawn from the study of the workmanship, materials and design of its stroller.
Therefore, for the source of the stroller, the expert also inquired about the situation with the woman in detail, asking, "Who is your ancestor?" The woman also said without reservation that this baby stroller is an heirloom of her grandfather's family, which can not only be used as a baby stroller, but also transformed into a baby dining table, which is very practical.
In the face of the expert's appraisal, the woman was very happy and immediately asked the expert about the value of the stroller. Experts said that there is no such stroller on the market at present, so it is impossible to estimate its value specifically, but in view of the effect of the program, experts still gave an estimated value of more than 300,000 yuan.
However, experts later said that this object has witnessed the childhood of generations of people, but also witnessed the changes in history, although no one in the market has explored it, but it is likely that this car is the earliest baby stroller in the mainland, which is of great significance.
Experts also said that even they are seeing this kind of stroller for the first time, so it is recommended that collectors keep it and do not sell it, and the value of this stroller will accumulate over time and become more and more precious.
In the face of the advice given by the experts, the woman gladly accepted it, saying that she would not sell this collection, but would treasure it as an heirloom to the next generation. Many things cannot be measured with money alone, antiquities are like the energy of the world, and one less piece can no longer produce one.
brief summary
Cultural relics, the reason why they can become cultural relics, is because they have witnessed the passage of time, witnessed the changes of history, no one can calculate how many craftsmen have condensed behind this stroller, let alone use money to measure the generations of children who have used this item, they are the hope of the family from birth, representing the future of the family.
Scarce things are precious, and the collection is thousands of items, but this stroller is extremely rare, and even experts who have seen countless collections say that it is the first time in their lives that they have seen it.
Therefore, the owner of this stroller should continue to collect it, not to measure the value of the market, because the culture and wisdom behind it are far from being measured by money. The rise of treasure hunting programs has allowed countless Chinese to enrich their horizons while also inheriting the skills and culture of ancient craftsmen.
