Why is the traditional craft lost?

The main reason is that the all-round development of economic globalization and the acceleration of modernization process have promoted the rapid emergence of industrial civilization, which emphasizes technology and standardization, so it will have a huge impact on the complexity and diversity of traditional handicrafts. Secondly, China lags behind western countries in social, economic and cultural reforms. At that time, the awareness of protecting traditional handicrafts and cultural heritage was still weak. Different from western countries, China paid attention to the promotion and protection of traditional handicrafts decades ago. China paid more attention to poverty alleviation decades ago, and urban transformation is closely related to rural urbanization. Many traditional handicrafts, such as straw weaving, paper cutting, weaving, etc., have flourished from the countryside and gradually turned the countryside into urbanization, making the roots of many folk arts gradually disappear. On the other hand, with the gradual development of modern society, the new generation of young people pay more attention to modern science and technology, and lack interest in the inheritance of traditional handicrafts and literature and art. In addition, the old generation of craftsmen are old and have limited energy, and they can't find a new generation of traditional craftsmen, which leads to the loss of craftsmanship year by year.

For the inheritance and dissemination of traditional handicraft skills, I think both the school and the government have unshirkable responsibilities. For the government, it can encourage more local counties or villages with distinctive handicraft skills to carry out more traditional handicraft skills exchange and training activities to attract more young people to join in the inheritance of traditional handicrafts. At the same time, handicraft competitions are held from time to time to create local culture. Secondly. For schools, it is necessary to strengthen the cultivation and practical ability of young people's literature and art, stimulate their interest in learning traditional handicrafts and devote themselves to the spread of handicrafts. And encourage young people to innovate and think more, integrate traditional handicraft skills with the trend of the new era, take its essence and discard its dross, and become more characteristic traditional handicraft skills.
