What is China's craftsman spirit and how to get it back?

"Craftsman spirit" means that when evaluating the quality of products, it is no longer judged by the level of mechanized production, but by the design, creativity and cultural connotation of products, as well as the humanity, temperature and living soul of products. With these, products have "quality". This "quality" should emphasize the return of China's traditional culture and exquisite culture.

China is a very delicate country. When we say "artisan spirit", we actually want to return to the true colors of exquisite culture and its cultural noumenon. For the connotation of exquisite culture, I think it includes important characteristics such as professional conscience, professional reputation and professional loyalty. From the perspective of production, we should not drown out the producers' personal creativity, personal aesthetics, personal taste, personal skills and personal understanding of products in industrialized and mechanized production.

With the continuous expansion of the consumption field, the scientific and technological quality, individual connotation and cost performance of products have become the focus of attention. Only products with excellent quality, outstanding personality and good cost performance will occupy the market more and more. "Craftsman spirit" is to clear the name of craftsmen, give them due social status and dignity, make new value judgments on them, and give them due value.

Craftsman spirit is an attitude, a heritage, an innovation and a pursuit. The biggest dilemma and bottleneck in the inheritance of traditional culture in contemporary China is the social recognition of the status and value of traditional art, especially the younger generation's general lack of understanding of the necessity and importance of the inheritance of traditional intangible culture and handicraft art, which leads to an increasing lack of craftsman spirit in China. We can't simply accuse the younger generation of utilitarianism and impetuousness. To truly change this state, the government, experts and scholars, and masters' inheritors need to pay attention to and study countermeasures. We should make pragmatic and long-term efforts and improvements from the aspects of policy system and public opinion orientation, from formulating policies to revitalize China's craftsman spirit system, to enhancing the social status and cognition of China's craftsmen and craftsman spirit, encouraging artists to innovate in the traditional handicraft market, and attaching importance to the cultivation of handicraft talents.
