Unfortunately, traditional handicrafts are disappearing.

Nail scales

Making scales is a delicate job. In this "haggle over every ounce", the weigher has paid his youth and sweat: meticulous work and meticulous investigation are only for the craftsman's promise. Year after year, the hair turns white, and what remains unchanged is fairness, whether on the scales or in people's hearts.

dough

Flour, scraper, bamboo basket, comb and scissors are the basic businesses of dough kneading. Clever hands rubbed out a colorful crazy world, and this magical memory brought us back to a wonderful childhood.

Sugar blowing technology

Melted into maltose at a high temperature of 100℃, colorful sugar materials were turned into lifelike animals by sugar blowers. This is a magical art, an ancient art and an endangered folk craft. For this colorful world, we should keep her and protect her.

coppersmith

From the coppersmith's boat on the water to the coppersmith's burden on the street, repair copper locks, match copper handles and make copper flagons; These businesses are all like this, but what changes is the continuous improvement of skills. By hammering, melting, filing, carving and drilling, people can see dragons, phoenixes, birthday stars and immortals on bronze incense burners and copper hip jars.

(of a girl on the eve of her wedding) pluck the fine hairs from her face with a thin thread.

In the past, women seldom went to barbershops to get their hair cut, whether in towns or villages. At that time, they mainly relied on some women who screwed their faces for them. A thin thread and a pair of skillful hands, with the cooperation of hands and mouths, wring out the hair and dirt on women's faces and make their faces neat and radiant!

popcorn

Remember the popcorn at that time? An old man was carrying a burden, with a gourd-shaped "shell" at one end and a stove and bellows at the other, walking up and down the street. Sometimes, with a bang, rice turns into white popcorn. At that time, he was the children's favorite magician!
