Modern young people are unwilling to learn traditional skills. Will traditional skills be lost?

Nowadays, young people are reluctant to learn traditional crafts, because traditional crafts are really difficult to learn and the market is not particularly large. Without a professional master to teach, it is bound to face a problem of inheritance. Many traditional skills have disappeared, and what is still handed down now has a certain social foundation.

The first is the problem of teaching. The study of traditional craft depends not on books but on hands-on teaching. It is not a problem that can be solved in a year or two, because it is not enough to go from zero foundation to proficiency. This time is too long, and it is very risky for young people, because there is no need to learn this skill for three to five years, so they can have a stable life.

Secondly, the atmosphere in which these traditional economies are really used in society is not particularly wide, and those that really have a rich social foundation have been inherited. Although some changes have taken place with the change of social production mode, the basic model still exists. For example, carpentry appeared hundreds of years ago and thousands of years ago, and now there are some furniture, just hand-carved some images. Because this craft really tests a person's skills, and it can't be learned in a year or two, but there is a lot of economic income from making this thing, and the economic income of a skilled carpenter is still considerable, so I followed suit.

What people use exists because people are constantly using it, and people need the help of this skill to make our life better. There were so many traditional skills in ancient times because people could only solve these problems by hand at that time. Now with all kinds of machines, they are more perfect and can easily make things with higher precision. These traditional memories are affected, which may be the bad influence brought by the changes of the times.
