How to pass on traditional crafts?

With the development of social industrialization, the pace of society is getting faster and faster. All kinds of handicraft intangible cultures and craftsmen are facing difficulties and it is a pity to abandon them. However, they are confused about the future and don't know where the way out is. They don't know how to develop or even grow in handicraft industry. This also requires craftsmen and craftsmen to rethink the new development of the industry, explore a way to keep the craft industry developing, prevent the craftsmen and craftsmen engaged in these industries from losing their jobs, and at the same time let the craft industry develop and bloom gorgeous flowers.

As craftsmen, we all know that the biggest cost of handicrafts is time, and it takes a lot of time to design and polish our products. With the development of society, time is the most precious and the time cost is the highest. Therefore, if artisans still hold outdated thinking and design products that are still practical, they will be replaced by similar products produced in industrial batches, and the market will become narrower and narrower. Therefore, craftsmen must first change their thinking and improve their craftsmanship.

Can craftsmen integrate the culture of our motherland for 5,000 years when designing works? For example, our works can show many beautiful legends of Four Great Classical Novels, our people and our great mountains and rivers, and record the whole production process and the craftsmanship with words, pictures or videos. I believe that such works are both cultural and ornamental. We record the skills of craftsmanship, design the source of inspiration, organize them into books and classify them. The younger generation will learn through these words, pictures and videos, which is also inheritance. Nowadays, many folk handicrafts and craftsmen have unique skills and are faced with the dilemma of having no heirs. They cannot wait and rely on them. As a craftsman and craftsman, it is recorded through words, pictures and videos. With the improvement of living standards in the future, people who have the ability and ideas can inherit the essence of their ancestors' craftsmanship through these materials compiled by their ancestors. Take fewer detours. In addition, we can also consider the connection between leisure and the future. Modern people's life is very fast, so they need to live slowly and slowly, and relieve their inner anxiety through handicrafts. Some projects can be designed to meet the needs of this group, which is also the direction of market development. Therefore, as long as craftsmen are willing to use their brains, learn from young people, and explore ways out of difficulties and boudoir, I believe that good things will be passed down through the ages.

1. Integrate into modern life and meet social needs.

No matter what kind of handicraft it is, it serves human life from the beginning. In traditional society, the close relationship with human life provides the soil for folk handicrafts to survive; In modern society, the alienation of human life has led to the decline of folk handicrafts. Therefore, to revitalize folk handicrafts, fundamentally speaking, it is necessary to integrate it into modern people's lives and improve its practicality in modern society.

2. Introducing modern design to activate endogenous power

The innovation of design system is the most important thing to revitalize traditional handicrafts, which has been recognized by academia and industry. It is a feasible way for traditional folk handicrafts to get out of the boudoir by transforming traditional craft style with contemporary design concept, transforming contemporary design language with traditional handicraft cultural resources and transforming traditional handicrafts with brand design, and realizing the inheritance and innovation of excellent traditional culture in design practice.
