Carpenter and blacksmith

Carpenter refers to the traditional, do the wood of the master of the tradition, able to do the ancient architecture of the kind of people, this kind of people in contemporary Chinese society is not much, this kind of people are generally in the age of 50 years old and above. Blacksmith refers to now do iron art, welder, do shed master, this kind of people are generally under 50 years of age more, there is also a considerable part of the young people.

The blacksmiths mentioned here are no longer the traditional iron masters.

More than 2000 years ago Zhuang Zi and Huizi two people are always lifting poles, Huizi died, Zhuang Zi went to Huizi's tomb and wept loudly. His students were puzzled and felt that their teacher should be happy. Zhuang Zi told his students the story of "the master craftsman carrying the axe", and she stopped talking for 20 years until Zhuang Zi's death. The story of "The Master Carrying the Axe" told by Zhuang Zi was a story between a carpenter and a mason. At Zhuangzi's time, there should also be blacksmiths, but carpenters and blacksmiths do not deal with each other much.

Now it's different, I have a blacksmith inside the site, which is the welder who does the ironwork, and another one is a carpenter.

I'm constantly working on a drawing so that the iron and the wood can be combined to make artifacts. This combination of artifacts saves the time-consuming traditional carpentry work, but also gives a sense of warmth to the cold stiffness of modern pure ironwork.

Such mutual exclusion, not from the exclusion between the materials between iron and wood, should come from the blacksmith and the eyes of the smith between the inner bias.

Between people, can not reach a good communication when it is a long, long, long distance.
