In today's fast-paced life, we seem to have forgotten the good times when neighbors were like family, however, those old objects carry the memories of a generation and witness the changes of the years.
Today, let's look back at the old objects that have disappeared in the long river of history, and feel the warmth and beauty that belong to that era.

Originally, this bamboo stick was used as a delicate tool to remove the husk of the rice seeds so that the farmers could enjoy the delicious rice.
It is not a particularly complex tool, it is divided into two parts. There is a convenient inlet in the upper section from which the paddy can be easily poured into the hull.
With the help of manpower, the upper part of the rice is rotated rapidly through the rotation of the rocker, and the rice is rubbed between the upper and lower parts of the specially made bamboo to complete the hulling process.
This simple but practical technique is not only suitable for rice, but also for a variety of other grains that can be easily hulled by hulling.
In fact, it is not an easy job to make a hull, and the farmers need to shake the handle of the hull vigorously every day to make the hull rotate quickly.
This process is very physically demanding and skillful, and the wrong force can cause the rice to crumble or not be completely hulled. In order to master this difficult skill, farmers spend a lot of time and practice for a long time to make perfect.
Although the function of this tool has been gradually replaced, with the advancement of technology, we have rarely seen people using it.
"The current period of rice breaking, come to Wang to see Diyu. This folk song with the background of the long song sings the history of the countryside and the unremitting efforts of the farmers.
Square line car
The weaving process in ancient times included hundreds of tedious processes, which required a lot of physical strength and patience. From the beginning of picking, to spinning, to spinning wheels, and finally through multiple processes such as piercing, making healds, and digging healds, a piece of old coarse cloth can be made.
In every link of spinning, it is necessary to carefully grasp every detail, and the twine spun by these formal means will be divided into upper class and sleeve rings at the embankment, so that it can be turned into an old coarse cloth suitable for making clothes and household items.
In addition to making clothes, it is also used to make household items such as quilts and bedding, and families rely on this ancient handmade textile to keep them warm and comfortable.
Although the vast majority of people today rarely see the rural scenes of wire cars and textiles, we can learn about the ancient agricultural way of life through these lost traditional skills.
Straw shoe machine
In the past, in rural life, because most of the farmers were poor, few people were willing to pay for shoes.
So, they made their own straw sandals to meet the needs of the shoes. This is a technical job, not only to have skills, but also to have patience, and there must be a helper called straw sandals.
The straw shoe machine is a frame made of wood, with a mortise and tenon structure, and there are nine teeth on it, and the function of these teeth is to let the straw pole pull firmly, making the straw shoes more durable and durable.
Now it seems that although the straw shoe machine looks old and even dilapidated, people at that time pinned their good expectations on straw sandals.
The production process of the straw shoe machine is not complicated, just weave the straw and fix it on the straw shoe machine.
Everyone can adjust the number and density of straw according to the size of their feet and needs, because this straw sandal is relatively simple, it may be a little strangled at first, but gradually, people gradually Xi this light and comfortable feeling.
With the change of the times, the improvement of living standards and the process of modernization, straw sandals have gradually been eliminated from people's daily wear choices. Comfortable, beautiful and durable leather shoes or sports shoes have become the new requirements for shoes. Farmers have also gradually put on these modern shoes and lived a more convenient and comfortable life.
Nowadays, the straw shoe machine can only be seen in museums, and it has become a witness to history. Although the straw shoe machine has been replaced by modern technology, its existence is deeply imprinted in the memory of many older generations of farmers.
Dual card recorder
Dual-card tape recorder, the imprint and memories of this era, make people think a lot. Recalling the seventies and eighties, the dual-card tape recorder was a must-have for young people at that time, a symbol of their individuality and chasing trends. Today, looking back on that time, the unique charm of the dual-card recorder still makes people yearn for it.
At that time, young people liked to pursue fashion and trends, and the dual card recorder was one of the important tools for them to show themselves and welcome new things.
With dual-card tape recorders in hand and stylish bell bottoms, they can be the center of attention wherever they go. In the streets and alleys, there will always be a group of young people gathered together, playing colorful music, dancing exaggerated and wild dances, and swaying their bodies to their heart's content.
Under the fluorescent lights, they happily meet the rhythm of the music and release their youthful vitality to the fullest. In their eyes, the dual-card recorder is not only a machine, but also a place of their youthful passion and infinite vision for the future.
When guests arrive at home, the carnival of music and dance becomes the main welcome ceremony, and the records are spun on a dual cassette recorder, full of youthful energy. Everyone has their favorite music, some choose Teresa Teng's gentle singing, while others choose Leslie Cheung's flamboyance and delicacy.
Together, they followed the music, their mouths moving, and they competed to see whose record was better. The passion of sharing music through records and arguing about preferences has become a tacit way for young people to communicate and communicate with each other.
Nowadays, with the popularization of new technologies such as mobile phones and the Internet, the convenience we enjoy makes people feel more and more distant from each other.
Although the dual-card recorder has gradually faded out of people's sight, it carries the unique memory and imprint of an era. It is a fashion totem of that era, and it is also a link that evokes our memories and nostalgia for the past.
Hats
In the past, it was an indispensable rainproof equipment in the daily life of farmers. Their importance is reflected in their comfort and protection against rain.
The hat exists to better protect the head from the sting of blades of grass, and is tied with a rope to strengthen the rain resistance. The weaving materials and craftsmanship of the cloth ensure that it fits the body and has good air permeability, so that farmers can stay comfortable when performing farm work on rainy days.
When it rains, farmers wear bamboo hats or coats, because the small holes in the bamboo hats not only prevent dripping, but also allow people to see something. In order to achieve the best protection from rain, farmers tend to bend down when it rains, so as to maximize the protection of the contact surface between the hat and the coat and prevent rainwater from seeping in.
Although the hat and coat are very waterproof, they are not comfortable to wear. Many people have a feeling of being pinched, especially when fishing or doing some long farm work.
In addition, due to the constraints of textile raw materials and processing technology, its air permeability is poor, and it is easy to produce stuffiness and fatigue under the conditions of high temperature and high humidity.
In order to solve this problem, people who replaced the hat and the cloth gradually appeared. Today, we have umbrellas that are lighter and more resistant to the rain, which makes the hat gradually withdrawn from daily life.
Washstand
This old object was everywhere at the time, and in addition to the early morning, the washstand also showed its unique charm at night. After a busy day, people return home, and the tired body finds a place to rest itself.
When the first rays of moonlight fall on the windowsill, a family member walks up to the washstand and gently wipes the tiredness from his face. Such a simple and warm face-washing ritual brings a sense of tranquility and relaxation, allowing people to find a trace of tranquility from hard work.
However, with the progress of science and technology and the changes of the times, the washstand has gradually withdrawn from the stage of our life, replaced by a modern washstand, which provides us with more efficient and convenient washing conditions, and the washstand will naturally slowly disappear in the lives of ordinary people.
