Why do some people say that learning traditional crafts is asking for trouble?

With the development of society, science and technology is even more driven by the human wisdom by leaps and bounds, to solve many of the needs of our daily lives. As a result, slowly many traditional crafts have been replaced by technology, and traditional crafts have become just a trace of the culture that people are looking for, rather than a necessity of life. When the demand is very low, if young people choose to inherit traditional handicrafts, it will be very difficult to ensure that they can make money with their handicrafts, and the chances of employment are very small and the room for personal development is very narrow. Therefore, inheriting traditional crafts can only become a hobby in today's society, but not a skill to support a family.

In the once underdeveloped social environment of science and technology, handicrafts had a pivotal position in daily life, and there were many aspects of life that could not be separated from traditional handicrafts in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation. So, in an era when not everyone can enjoy education, a skill has become the way out for many people to enhance their competitiveness. Therefore, many people choose to learn traditional crafts. Moreover, learning traditional crafts is not overnight, very much about the day-to-day exercise, many are at a young age to learn from a master.

The reason why traditional crafts are still remembered by people today is that the objects made with hands are not only exquisite, but also represent a culture. Each item is created with the heart and hands, and has a soul. And because it needs to be refined by the hands of craftsmen, the selection of materials is very careful about the quality, which is why modern people often say that handmade things are of good quality. However, from another point of view, it also reflects the reason why traditional handicrafts are bound to be replaced, that is, the high cost of labor and materials, and can not be produced in large quantities, which can not satisfy the demand of the people, nor can it quickly promote economic development.

When technology comes into people's lives, it greatly improves the efficiency of production, and at the same time, reduces the cost of production. Let more people can be used, and even constantly replaced, the traditional craft will inevitably only be replaced by technology. Today, the traditional craft is more of a culture and history of respect, rather than survival skills, which is many young people are not willing to inherit the traditional craft of the most fundamental reasons.
