What is a craftsman?

Craftsmen are simply folk craftsmen, including people who make various tools, handicrafts and artworks, and then publish their works on the platform every day. But now there are many ironies that this person has no real craftsmanship and is a liar.

When it comes to craftsmen, people immediately think of potters, blacksmiths, weavers, carpenters, cooks, musicians and so on. However, the definition of "craftsman" is quite broad. As long as you are proficient in a skill, you can call it a "craftsman." Even if you are good at prescribing medicine, civil engineering or information industry, you can be listed as a "craftsman".

Craftsmen work with stones, metals and ceramics, and their works can be roughly divided into two categories: one is folk art, which serves religion and magic, and the other is works that express their own lives; The other is the court art serving the ruling class. The two kinds of sculptures are rich in content and diverse in forms, with strong decorative, expressive and visual impact.

Song Cai's Talking about Tiewei Mountain, Volume 6: "A craftsman is famous, the chess is Liu Zhongfu, and the national hand comes first ... The piano is a monk and a brahman, and the Lord of the sea is above the foot." "Qing Ping Shan Tang Hua Ben Deng Hua Jiao Lian's daughter became a blessing": "He is a craftsman who makes flowers, and I am a monk, not a suitable person."
