What will be the future of the woodworking industry from ancient times to the present?

"Woodworking", as the oldest category in all kinds of handicrafts, has continued to develop for thousands of years. As a carpenter, you should feel extremely glorious.

Carpenters and other craftsmen attached many inventions to Lu Ban, which produced the effect that "things are famous because of people, and people are immortal because of things", and concentrated the typical achievements of skilled craftsmen, and Lu Ban became the embodiment of wisdom and hard work.

In ancient China, a person could call himself a carpenter with a saw, a ruler, a thread and a piece of wood. With ingenious ideas and exquisite craftsmanship, he could create exquisite wood products, furniture ornaments, carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions, all of which were handicrafts made by craftsmen.

Up to now, there are very few such beneficiaries, because no one has passed on such skills. Because of the continuous development of our country, mechanization has gradually replaced those traditional things, including carpentry.

We can see that the current wooden furniture has lost its original charm, because it is no longer carved by craftsmen, but by machines, and most of them are the same. It was not carved by craftsmen and artists with their own creativity. That kind of thing is unique.

China carpenters are most proud of tenon and mortise technology, which is the soul of China wooden furniture. There are examples horizontally and history vertically. I think the woodworking road in China will definitely have a longer-term development.
