There are many skilled jobs now, and manual jobs can't be passed down. What should I do in the future?

Nowadays, many technologies and crafts can't be passed down. What should I do in the future?

This situation mentioned by netizens does happen every day, but I think it is normal and there is no need to make a fuss. Today's society is dominated by market economy. As long as there is demand, there will naturally be supply. Whether you are talking about traditional skills or normal manual labor, it can't be passed down, which only shows that the demand for them in society is getting less and less.

Let's talk about traditional crafts first. From small to large, we rarely see bamboo craftsmen, carpenters, masons, bricklayers, gongs, tailors and so on. These technologies have not disappeared, but have been replaced by more advanced mechanization and industrialization.

As far as I know, some traditional objects have disappeared in our countryside at the same time. Such as palm coconut, bamboo hat, rice mill, clogs, stilts, wooden waterwheel, ox cart, wooden spinning wheel, wooden loom, wooden cigarette machine, etc. I have seen all these objects, but now I don't need them, so there is no need to pass on the manufacturing skills.

Traditional food techniques, such as boiling maltose, exploding rice cakes with indigenous methods, spreading bean skin by hand and making rice cakes by hand, are no longer considered time-consuming and laborious, provided that you can buy ready-made products with less authentic taste in the supermarket. It is basically impossible to taste these traditional childhood foods now.

In addition, the disappearance of a lot of manual labor is entirely due to the emergence of mechanization and automation. Like in the past, plowing fields, transplanting rice seedlings, cutting grain, digging peanuts and harvesting sesame rape in rural areas were not only physical activities with very high labor intensity, but also required certain technical content. I remember I couldn't do it when I was a child, or I didn't do it well.

So what you said has disappeared or will disappear, in one case, it is replaced by more advanced mechanical automation, and in the other case, it is no longer needed by society. Therefore, we don't need to worry about the ancients and live in negative emotions.

In addition, there is another situation you don't know, and I'm here to let you know a little. Some martial arts and medical methods like Taoism have disappeared because they can't find a suitable inheritor, but you don't have to worry. China has had immortals since ancient times. When necessary, all kinds of traditional crafts or technologies that have disappeared will be given by God, produced and passed on.

In fact, in our life, some people suddenly acquire a special skill, or have a dream or an epiphany. This is a godsend! China's 7,000-year-old culture is profound. Don't worry, everything that has disappeared (such as what people need) will appear one day.
