With the development of society, everyone's life has now entered a fragmented, short and fast mode. When you try to slow down, you may find that on the streets, deep alleys, and overpasses, there are people selling balloons, making candy men or playing guitars everywhere, who have made inconspicuous things into technical content, excellence, and add bricks and tiles to the temperature of the city.
On a spring night, Luo Jiameng was singing live at the Xishan Bridge
The brightly lit Xishan Bridge, the endless flow of the big cross, the quaint and romantic stone street, the crowded Nanshazhou Park, the guest-filled Duyun Maojian Tea House... It tells the liveliness and leisure of the city of Duyun.
Small stalls, "fried hot" night life and economy
At the beginning of the lantern, strolling through the streets filled with the fragrance of chong chong cake, listening to a song from the overpass, smelling the fragrance of jasmine flowers, the wisdom and sweat contained in the ancient craftsmanship, the positive optimism and ingenuity of the craftsmen, the breath of life behind the city is told, adding temperature and heat to the city. The traditional "craftsmanship" that we are familiar with in our memories is gradually coming...
In front of the bouquet surrounded by lights, passers-by smiled
The "fireworks" of Yuncheng
When we repeat the busy and noisy daily life every day, whether we occasionally see the craftsmen who beat the drums and sing the spring breeze in the streets and alleys, whether we can still feel the "fireworks" and "slow before" on them...
Master Zhao Wancai and his small but exquisite stalls
Recently, the Media Interview Center of Qiannan Daily has planned and written a series of reports such as "Luodian Labor Model Phenomenon" and "Qiannan Young Craftsmen", and recently launched the "Tribute to Street Technicians" feature, the purpose of which is to show the status and style of ordinary workers in all walks of life from multiple angles. The times are developing and society is progressing, but the tradition of respecting labor and respecting laborers has never changed.

Choose one thing for a lifetime, not for the prosperity of the easy ingenuity. In short, most of them are craftsmen who make a living by their own craftsmanship. The seemingly ordinary materials in life, in their hands, mixed with persistence, meticulousness, stubbornness, and a little warmth, transform into a living object. These ordinary and persistent craftsmen, in the long road of life, focus on "what I love", not captured by impetuousness, not bound by desire, both love and love, not anxious. The culture they carry, the complex that they have frozen, has become a memory that time cannot steal. Time is changing, and the affection of the craftsmen remains unchanged. Nowadays, many crafts are gradually replaced by machines, and many craftsmen have gradually faded out of our vision. Instead of calling them craftsmen, they are called "keepers", no matter how advanced the technology, the tools of craftsmen can precipitate more flavors over time. Craftsmanship is not only a tool for making a living, but also a kind of persistence and inheritance. Time is not over, ingenuity is not extinguished, craftsmanship is not stopped.
Take a bite of delicious punch cake
Among the street performers we searched for were street singers who sang passionately, "flower messengers" who were skillfully knitted, and handicraft makers who were more than half a hundred years old. Every time they sweat, they reflect the value of their lives; every investment is making the city a better place. Under the ravages of the epidemic, they used their honest labor and creative minds to bring more human fireworks to the city. Cities need not only "height", but also "temperature". If the development of the city is only reinforced concrete and traffic, it is a city without a soul. Those who sharpen scissors, those who sell sugar gourds, and those who weave palm leaves into small grasshoppers are also an important part of this "warm town". Because what we need is not only a metropolis of cement forests, but also a sense of happiness that can be truly enjoyed by the flow of peddlers and pawns and pulp sellers, which is the feeling and value recognition we need to build a "livable town" with temperature, connotation, wine and story.
