Adhere to the traditional craft

Dong, a 79-year-old Anhui blacksmith, has been working for 56 years. Today, with the rapid development of industry, the ancient art of striking the iron has been gradually lost, and it is on the verge of the embarrassing result that no one inherits it. Obviously, this art of striking iron is unprofitable, but Grandpa Dong said that he knew it was unprofitable, and he could persist for 56 years just to keep this craft. I have to say, an old man who is almost 80 years old is still.

The 79-year-old man insisted on sticking to his old craft and faced the heat in early 56. Dong is still working hard while the iron is hot. He has been doing this business for 56 years and has been doing it since he was young. In fact, with the development of modern industry, it is no longer necessary to make iron by hand, but the iron effect made by machines and people is completely different. Grandpa Dong knows very well that with the innovation of industrial technology year by year, modern industry has completely replaced manual labor.

It is not easy to stick to the original intention and keep the old craft. For an ingenious craftsman, in today's era when money is so hard to earn, an old man of nearly 80 years old insisted on a non-profitable craft and brought 15 apprentices. The original intention is to keep this craft, knowing that he will continue to do it if he doesn't make money. Few people can have such courage and courage. Old Dong, in the face of the high temperature and heat every day, can still persist. In order to do the old craft and be a craftsman's heart, Dong said that business is not good now, and all the customers are old customers, but even if you know that it is difficult and tired, you must stick to it.

No one can pass on traditional crafts, so it is difficult to protect them. It is really embarrassing. Although modern science and technology are developing rapidly, the quality of hand-made by old artists is many times better than that of machines. I hope young people can turn off traditional crafts more, become the inheritors of old crafts and develop traditional crafts with innovation.
