With the continuous development of this society, many jobs that seemed indispensable before have disappeared, and some people regret this, such as the craftsman is one of the industries that have been ruthlessly eliminated by the times. In the past, the solution craftsman was a very popular industry, but unfortunately it could not resist the tide of the times, what did the solution craftsman do? And why did it disappear? Let's let Xiaobian reveal the secret to you.

In daily life, we have all heard or said that a proverb is added, that is, "three hundred and sixty lines, the line is out of shape", which means that no matter what industry you are engaged in, as long as you persist, you will be able to succeed. Historians say that the phrase "three hundred and sixty lines" originated from the "thirty-six lines" of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the thirty-six trades under the social division of labor at that time, and the "three hundred and sixty" did not appear until the Ming and Qing dynasties, which also shows that society is developing rapidly, and the thirty-six lines are no longer enough to cover all walks of life in society. However, "three hundred and sixty lines" is also a general reference, indicating that there are many lines in society, not only three hundred and sixty lines.
From ancient times to the present, the three hundred and sixty lines are constantly changing, although there are many lines that have been passed down to this day, but there are also new trades that have been added, and there are also old trades that have been eliminated, which has always kept the three hundred and sixty lines alive. For example, there are many disappearing trades, and the solver is one of them. According to historical records, the "xie smith" first appeared in the Ming Dynasty, such as "people sold willow trees and date trees, bought them to ask the smith to saw it into a thin board, and asked the carpenter to close the coffin" ("The Legend of the Awakening Marriage"). In this passage, there are two craftsmen, namely the smith and the carpenter, who are familiar to many people, and the former sounds strange. In the past, carpentry workers themselves had two kinds of work, but many people who did not understand this line of work thought that the craftsman and the carpenter were one person, but in fact their work was different.
The work of the craftsman is in the front, and the work of the carpenter is in the back. The carpenter is considered a manual worker, mainly responsible for sawing the fallen trees into various types of planks or strips of wood, and then the carpenter uses these planks or strips to make furniture on the field, so the carpenter is considered a technical job. For the solver, it is necessary to have good physical strength, especially arm strength, because they have to carry the trunk, usually more than one meter in diameter trunk, the length and size are different, six or seven meters long, and two or three meters short, so the work of the solver is very hard compared to the carpenter.
The work of the craftsmen is actually not troublesome, first of all, prepare the guys they eat, that is, long saws and ink buckets. There are different types of long saws, used to saw through trees of different sizes, the longest saw is 2 meters long, requiring two people to work together to use, so usually the solver is two people together. Then, mark the size and thickness of the partition on the trunk with an ink bucket, and then apply some oil on the saw to start. In the process of sawing wood, the two cooperate with each other, one person is on top, one person is down, and from time to time to put some oil on the saw, on the one hand, it can play a lubricating role, on the other hand, it also reduces the heat generated by the friction of the saw.
It is worth mentioning that the dismantler sawn wood also has a skill, if you can saw down the trees in one breath, it is best not to stop, because once you stop and then saw, it is easy to jam the saw, not only delay the work efficiency, sometimes even break the saw, so that it is more than worth the loss. In addition, grinding saws is also a technical work, the so-called "sharpening knives do not cut wood by mistake", the smith will spend several days to grind the saws before receiving the work, but also to check whether the saw has a bad mouth, if there is a timely repair, otherwise it may be sawn in the process of sawing wood, and finally lead to the wooden board into a blackboard, not only the owner to deduct money, the carpenter will also follow behind to complain.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the solver was very popular in many rural areas, and usually people built houses or made furniture, and they would find the solver to come to the door to saw wood in advance. By the 1980s, with the development of science and technology, chainsaws and chainsaws began to gradually become popular, which also had a considerable impact on the craftsmanship industry. The advantages of chainsaws and chainsaws are obvious, first of all, the efficiency is high, usually two solvers can only saw 2-3 trunks a day, while chainsaws and chainsaws can easily saw more than a dozen trunks a day; secondly, the wooden boards seen out of the chainsaws and chainsaws are more neat and flat, so the work of the solver is gradually replaced by chainsaws and chainsaws and chainsaws. Nowadays, we can no longer see the craftsman, and we have completely eliminated from the three hundred and sixty lines, but the carpenter is still alive.
Almost overnight, the craftsman became history, but the carpenter's inheritance has become more and more popular to this day. It can be seen that the development of society and the progress of science and technology have not had much impact on carpenters, and it also shows that as long as there is enough technology, it is not afraid of no food, and only some industries that lack technical content will disappear in the tide of the times.
