The 70-year-old uncle has been a traditional old scale for 40 years. What is the reason for his persistence?

? Being a steelyard is a meticulous job, and the most important thing is excitement. It is extremely difficult to get up and walk around, or say hello to people, and do your work seriously. Therefore, he deliberately put the studio in a high-rise building at home, so that he can quietly polish his works on weekdays and avoid piecemeal time.

? Mr. Ying/Kloc-began to learn steelyard at the age of 0/4, and he is the 15th generation steelyard skill inheritor in his family. Even though he was used to crafts since he was a child, his apprentice Ying Deyin studied hard for three years. Because this craft is easy to learn and difficult to master, an ordinary steelyard has more than 80 processes from material selection to finished products, and polishing one by one is much more difficult than we thought.

The turning point of persistence

? With the appearance of electronic scales, wooden pole scales were gradually eliminated. Without the market, the steelyard master changed careers, but Britain, Germany and India, which have worked for several generations, are unwilling to leave.

? No one wants to let the craftsmanship handed down from generation to generation be destroyed in their own hands. In order to adapt to the market environment, Britain, Germany and India began to ponder the transformation of steelyard from daily tools to handicrafts.

Just to make the steelyard process more possible in the market and go better and longer.

Traditional folk crafts?

This can represent the traditional culture of China. China's traditional Chinese painting, calligraphy, seal cutting, Chinese knot Peking Opera, shadow play, Qin bricks and tiles, martial arts, terracotta warriors and horses, China lacquerware, Oracle Bone Inscriptions and so on.

China's traditional culture has always influenced us, deeply imprinted in the flesh and blood of Chinese descendants. The word "inheritance" is passed to the front and inherited from the back. Only the excellent culture with a long history will be recognized by more people.

All our activities are about cultural inheritance, such as writing Chinese characters, speaking Chinese and reading ancient Chinese.
