Why the traditional carpentry craft is facing loss of heritage

Now the rural carpentry and bricklaying masters are basically doing decades of masters, young people are willing to learn these two crafts are really especially few. The New Business Journal once did a survey, the current general age of traditional carpenters in 45 years old, young people almost no longer learn carpentry. Why is this the case? Personally, I think the main reasons are as follows.

1, the opportunity to become less, the craft is increasingly unpopular

Remember the hours, the family's doors, windows, cabinets, beds, furniture, etc. are basically asked to carpenters to the home to build. But now, many families are to the market to buy, will not ask the carpenter to do. Now the carpenter's salary is not low, but it is undeniable that the work is really less and less, many teachers have no work to do, young people are more reluctant to learn.

2, the work "undignified", young people do not want to do

While the "360 lines, line of work," but in real life, we are still divided into jobs! The first thing that you need to do is to get the job done. Many people feel that carpentry and bricklaying are particularly undignified and humiliating. For young people to do carpentry, bricklaying, many people also do not understand, will be considered particularly unproductive, and even gossip behind the back.

3, the learning cycle is long, young people want to make quick money

For example, carpentry masters, basically have to learn a few years in order to become a good carpenter. In the rapid development of society today, few people are willing to spend a few years to learn a trade, not to mention a seemingly "unseemly", unpopular craft.

4, the work is very hard, young people do not want to do this kind of hard work

Carpentry and bricklayer's working environment is relatively poor. Like carpentry, perennial will suck a lot of dust, but also in a very noisy environment; and bricklayers perennial to withstand the sun and rain, and, in rural housing, many safety measures are not in place, bricklayers may also have to bear a certain security risks.
