Want to learn a traditional craft. How to find a master or craftsman to take it?

Why do you want to learn traditional crafts? Which one do you want to learn? There are many kinds of handicrafts in China. Ceramics, wood carving, jade carving, embroidery, paper cutting, bamboo weaving and so on.

For China's traditional handicrafts, everything is a treasure of China culture, and it is worth inheriting and protecting. But now many traditional crafts are slowly disappearing, and so are folk craftsmen. In fact, this is a pity. I've seen many handicrafts of the older generation are particularly good, so it's good to pass them on slowly.

Take bamboo weaving as an example, it is a traditional handicraft that has been closely related to human life since human beings began to settle down. In the Neolithic Age, in order to store the surplus rice grains and hunting food, people used various tools such as stone axes and knives to cut plant branches and weave them into baskets and baskets. Slowly, bamboo weaving was valued by people. I still remember that when I was a child, the baskets used by my grandparents to wash and pack vegetables were all made of bamboo. Now, they are all used as plastics. It has gradually faded out of people's lives. I think this traditional handicraft with great practical and artistic value should be passed down.

The same is probably true of other traditional handicrafts. If you want to learn, first of all, you can visit that mountain area, where there will be the oldest craftsmen, who are still silently inheriting China's traditional handicrafts, but it is also a bit hard to find. Second, you can go to some websites about craftsmen, such as street performers and craftsmen. There are many things about traditional handicrafts.
