Starting with the 72-year-old grandfather carving souls, how can traditional crafts expand their influence?

Folk arts and traditional crafts have been losing, but in fact, what our ancestors handed down is often the best. Although it may not be used now, its exquisite structure and ingenious creativity always make us sigh the wisdom of our predecessors. The 72-year-old grandfather personally carved his own soul, which also triggered our thinking. How does the traditional craft expand its influence?

The 72-year-old grandfather's name is Roh Jung Eui, and his best craft is wood carving. An ordinary piece of wood can be transformed into various patterns in Grandpa Lu's hands. Everything he carved has different postures and is lifelike, as if giving them a soul. The village where Grandpa Lu is located has a very strong woodcarving culture. In the past, the village often moved various woodcarving exhibitions, but the furniture market gradually declined, and fewer and fewer people came to Grandpa Lu's village.

After 95 years, awei, a young man, found Grandpa Lu and wanted to ask him to make a woodcarving video. Grandpa Lu agreed to his request without thinking. At first, the combination of the two was not very hot. Later, awei asked Grandpa Lu to start carving some anime characters. After combining traditional crafts with anime characters, the video suddenly became popular and became a million fans in just 128 days.

Although Grandpa Lu has become an online celebrity, Grandpa Lu feels he has the responsibility to spread the traditional crafts of China. Every time he broadcasts live, he will say that every compliment you give is for the traditional craftsmen in China. China's traditional crafts are actually exquisite. Our country has never lacked good things, but only needs an opportunity, or an opportunity to let more people know about our traditional crafts. Nowadays, various social media and the Internet are more and more developed. I hope more people like awei will pay attention to traditional craftsmen, carry forward our traditional culture and make the influence of traditional crafts more and more profound.
