Traditional weighbridge culture

The 70-year-old grandfather has been a traditional old scale for 40 years. Do you think it is necessary to keep the traditional old scale? Let's discuss this topic together today!

Speaking of steelyard, I believe everyone is familiar with it. As small as a few dollars, as large as dozens or even hundreds of pounds, a small wooden pole and a few round weights can accurately measure the weight of various items. In people's daily life, a lot of transactions are generated between weights and beams. This is called? Amazing? . Therefore, the weigher claims to be? First of all? In the past few years, right? Golden rice bowl? .

However, with the progress of the times, electronic scales have been popularized and gradually popularized. The finely crafted steelyard is hand-crafted, and it is gradually declining in the endless stream of advanced and convenient measuring tools. Even so, in some old towns, there are still some weighers, who still maintain this traditional old business and become the last manual weighers.

The making of scales is a traditional handicraft with a long history in China. According to folklore, the wooden scale was invented by Lu Ban. According to Beidou and Nandou, 13 stars are carved on the scale, and 13 is one catty. Later, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he added? Fu Lushou? It happens to be a 16-star Samsung. Change one catty to 16 and send a letter of unified measurement. It was not until 1950s that the country implemented the reform of units of measurement and changed the unified weighing system to 10 jinliang.

As a traditional weighing instrument independently invented by China, in fact, the steelyard is no better than the electronic scale? Science? Poverty has been used in China for thousands of years, and its social value can be said to be ubiquitous, so it is difficult to describe it clearly in any language. In people's daily life, because the steelyard is easy to carry, most mountain farmers always carry it with them in order to prevent their business from being cheated. This proves that the steelyard still has its application value. In a sense, it is still necessary to keep the original ecological and sustainable green measuring tools.

Steel scales are more human than electronic scales. During the sales process, the seller shouted with a smile. Look, the scale is very high. ? In fact, for the buyer, seeing the high-inclined scale, he felt that he did buy a lot of benefits. Doing business with a steelyard also reflects the uniqueness of our culture. China people pay attention to human relations under certain principles, so they don't associate with hard money in business, which is more like an emotional exchange between people.

Therefore, I still think it is necessary to keep and use the traditional old scale.
