Traditional technical works

Recently, a 74-year-old grandfather in Baoding, Hebei province built the Yellow Crane Tower with 5,000 pairs of chopsticks, which was praised by netizens? Your uncle or your uncle? . Grandpa said that although he is over 70, he can't be idle all the time. He was a carpenter and a blacksmith when he was young. With this foundation, he just needs to do something with his hands and brains. In addition to the Yellow Crane Tower, Grandpa also built miniature ancient buildings such as the Temple of Heaven, the Golden Pagoda and the Embroidery Tower. ?

For people who do nothing, chopsticks are tools for eating, but for some ingenious people, chopsticks or something like bamboo sticks are magical materials for building various models. In Lixian County, Baoding, Hebei Province, there was an old man who built miniature ancient buildings with chopsticks.

Grandpa is 74 years old, which is the age to enjoy his old age, but he worked as a carpenter and blacksmith when he was young, and he can't help himself when he is old. He always wants to find something to do at hand. Using disposable bamboo chopsticks everywhere to build a model can do what you can, and it is very suitable for the elderly.

Grandpa assembled the model with disposable bamboo chopsticks. Grandpa collected disposable bamboo chopsticks without drawing drawings. He took the ancient architecture as a symbol of beauty as the blueprint, conceived the style and size, cut bamboo chopsticks into various long and short materials, put them on the bracket together, and glued them with oily glue.

Because this is a meticulous work, it takes time and energy, even a small work will take at least one month. For larger works of art, more time is needed, and of course more chopsticks are needed. In a work of the Yellow Crane Tower completed by my uncle, 5000 pairs of chopsticks were used. In addition to the Yellow Crane Tower, the larger works include the Temple of Heaven, the Golden Pagoda and an embroidered tower, the largest of which is as high as 1.5 meters. After assembling with chopsticks, it only needs simple coloring, and the model assembled with chopsticks will glow with the aesthetic feeling of ancient buildings, which is exactly the ancient architectural elements and humanistic charm that modern city construction lacks.

Grandpa will continue to create and present more chopsticks together. Learning something when you are young, doing something when you are old, being good at observing and thinking, and using your hands and brains diligently are good for the elderly who have a lot of leisure time.
