Important Features of Craftsman Folklore in China

This important feature is the pedigree of teacher-student relationship, the compactness of technology transfer and the mystery of production activities.

1. Pedestrians' pedigree: In China's traditional handicrafts, the inheritance of mentoring is a very common phenomenon. Craftsmen's skills are often passed down through the direct teaching of mentoring, forming a pedigree of mentoring relationship.

2. Tightness of technology transfer: Due to the preciousness and uniqueness of craftsmen's skills, many times these technologies are not open to the public, but only passed on between masters and apprentices. The closure of this technical teaching helps to maintain the uniqueness and scarcity of some processes.

3. Mystery of production activities: In some traditional handicrafts, the production activities of craftsmen are often mysterious, such as certain process steps or ceremonies, which increase the attractiveness of handicrafts.
