Yanling events, update Yanling important news every day!
Before, things broke and I just wanted to fix it
Now broken just want to change
Always listen to the older generation reminisce about the past
At that time, the words they often hung on their lips were
"Three years for the new, three years for the old, three years for the seams to be patched"
Nothing in the past could not be repaired
At that time, craftsmen were everywhere
The technology is also superb
With the development of society progress
Many crafts were gradually replaced by machines
Former craftsmen who walked the streets and alleys
Gradually fade out of our vision
Take stock today
Those craftsmen who are very impressed in our memories
01
Shoemaker
Now the shoes have changed and changed in line with the trend
At that time, there was a row of such shoemakers sitting on the streets
Shoes that are rotten and glue will be taken to repair
You can also repair bags, umbrellas, etc
And now their age
Probably over 60 years old
Young people don't do it either
When they get old, the craft disappears
02
Blacksmith
Iron objects in the home can be repaired after they are damaged
Most can be replaced with an iron pot and fixed by scooping
In the early years, people needed to make farm tools, knives, etc
It is also a craft
And now see the craftsmen of this craft again
But it's getting less and less
03
Make up the pot
All kinds of casseroles, iron pots, antimony pots
The master can make up
In addition to repairing things, there are also some other crafts that come with it
Mainly because people's living standards have improved
In general, if the pot is broken, it will be thrown away directly
The pot maker is also close to unemployment
04
Shave
In mom's words
In the old days, everything you did had to worship the master
Say it before someone asks you to work
The greater the fame of the master
Then the more treatment and list you will have for your job
The most typical technical work requires learning from a teacher
There is a shaving master
Simple tools for walking professions
At that time, sitting at the door can shave your head
Everyone queues up to shave their heads during the New Year's Festival
It became a sense of ceremony
05
Vintage tailor shop
Remember the new clothes when I was a kid
It is tailored by the family to find a tailor
Can make us happy for half a day
Nowadays, clothes can be purchased at will in major shopping malls
06
carpenter
This kind of wooden chair is believed to be found in many Yanling people's homes
I remember when I was a kid
The wardrobes and tables at home are all carpenters
In the countryside at that time, craftsmen were highly respected
Nowadays, these things are bought directly in furniture stores
A handful of furniture made of tools
Handmade with warmth
It is the memory of this generation
07
Knock sugar
A small piece of silk that can pull a long silk, soft and sweet and sticky teeth
Hear the sound of iron pounding
I knew that the master who sold the candy had come
Then he hurriedly took out the bottles he had saved at home and changed them
08
Make a broom
Remove the branches, tie them tightly, trim them into shapes...
When I was a child, I used to move a little maza to watch the grandmother next door make a broom
The whole process is smooth and flowing, and it is not hurried
The resulting broom is both strong and easy to use
Unfortunately, she had a serious illness a few years ago
Together with the flowers she raised, she couldn't survive that winter
09
Preparation of craftsmen
It's a kind of weaving
Don't underestimate this craft
Bamboo weaving requires care, concentration and patience
Having a certain skill is also a craft of life
Few young people can do this kind of manual work anymore
Not many people are willing to learn this craft
Now these crafts are gradually fading out of our lives
Those hands-given pleasures are half less
All the traces of the past are the shadows of that era
Seeing these can instantly go back to that era
Do you still know which traditional craftsmen are in Yanling?
