How many skills are lost in China every year

It is true that modern technology has advanced. However, in the name of "modern science and technology" title of these technologies, in the minds of the Chinese people are now y rooted in the Western industrial technology, and originally in the traditional Chinese culture occupies an important part of the traditional Chinese skills and technology and how many still in the long history? Carpenter craft, the legend of master Lu Ban's wood craft method total **** divided into seventy-two methods, including the selection of materials, materials, processing, molding, decorating and a series of carpentry process, the current furniture manufacturing, who knows how to apply these techniques? It is no wonder that the Ming and Qing dynasty mahogany furniture more and more money, its value as an antique to one side, the preciousness of its materials is also temporarily not to mention, just which contains the carpentry process has let the modern people marveled at the fine carving, ingenious mounting process, think of the Ming and Qing dynasties is not far away from the present, and today we can not even see the lacquer on this kind of furniture. Ancient furniture on the lacquer have to pay attention to, the best lacquer is called lacquer, its method has been lost for thousands of years, only in some specialized ancient books and records, the sap of the lacquer tree, that is, this natural lacquer after precipitation, screening and so on after many complex processes, will produce a transparent glue, known as lacquer. Ten quintals of lacquer, can not produce a liter of lacquer essence, and its preciousness can be seen in more than a thousand years on the precious wood, if coated with lacquer essence, can be preserved. You can also see how the combination of the finest wood and lacquer is amazingly resistant to corrosion. And now we use synthetic lacquer, slightly some wind and rain, it's gone, can't help but say it's a sad ah! In addition to this woodworking process, there is known as China's national treasure of martial arts, television in the movie, the kind of stretching arms and kicking the legs of the action should be ashamed of the name of "kung fu". The Tao of Chinese martial arts, the teaching that practicing kung fu is practicing the heart, the practice of refining essence and transforming qi, refining qi into the spirit, refining the spirit and returning the spirit to the void, and refining the void to merge with the Tao, have been proved to be unscientific in terms of modern science and technology and modern medicine. I don't know whether this kind of adopting a blind eye to the unknown is unscientific or such things are really unscientific.

Up to the Wei Jin and North and South Dynasties before, Zhou Yi, alchemy of the art of popularity, from the ancient records, that time of the five stone powder, after eating a person to drift, with the current psychedelic drugs are very similar, but five stone powder to take things are very common, and now there is no one can be restored as it is out of the way. Putting aside its poisonous effects on the human body, this is also a thing worth studying in itself. In addition to these things, the skills in construction are also currently lost, these ancient buildings left behind in ancient times, pure wood, still standing for thousands of years. And the use of modern technology, reinforced concrete and other materials, an earthquake a gust of wind may be reduced to rubble. Some time ago the Palace Museum for repair, the top of the glazed tiles looking for the whole of China did not have a craftsman able to burn out, although the external claim is that the material can not be found, but why is not the technology is not that level? Forging technology and metal processing technology, not to mention the dry generals and other ancient wonders, the Miao inside the Maon Dao, sharp and soft, will be incompatible with the two adjectives seamlessly carved together, even with modern forging technology, still can not copy out a hand. Some time ago, I read a report that the silver jewelry worn by Hmong women during weddings and funerals is almost impossible to be repaired and remanufactured. Nowadays, young people study Marxism-Leninism, speak English, Japanese, Korean, French and German, and study mathematics, science and chemistry, and this kind of ancient handicraft can no longer attract their interest. I don't know whether this is a kind of progress or a kind of sadness. In ancient times, people's living tools were swords, guns, swords, hoes, shovels, adzes and chisels, and when they were broken, there were sword makers and knife sharpeners to repair them. Modern people's living tools are computers, pistols and machine guns, bad, buy new. In ancient times, there is the so-called human sword unity, and now even more skillful people can not be integrated with the computer. The emergence of such a situation, although and China's skills passed down from ancient times, the son does not pass on to the daughter, the daughter does not pass on to the son-in-law related, more importantly, also lies in the Chinese people themselves do not know how precious their own skills. It is said that what is national is global, but in fact it is what Westerners see as global. Now there are McDonald's, KFC and Coca-Cola in the world, but who has ever seen Beijing Fried Noodles, Luoyang Beef Soup, Shaanxi Mutton Bubbles and Tianjin Dog Fritters opening chain stores all over the world? Just because the economic level is not as good as others?
