What is the spirit of craftsmanship in China

Ancient Chinese craftsmen devoted their lives to the spirit of carving and refining, from a project to the invention of a tool, not only in the pursuit of skill, but also in the spirit of dedication and compassion for the world. They love what they do more than they love the money these things bring. The reverence for nature, the reverence for the work, the user's heart to heart, together with their own understanding, poured into a pair of hands, creating an ancient scientific and technological civilization that made the West look up to. Zenghouyi chimes superb casting technology and good music performance, rewriting the world music history; Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty when the firing of the Ru porcelain, its glaze, such as "after the rain, the cloud breaks down, a thousand peaks of blue waves of green color," known as "even if there is a family of ten thousand, not as good as a piece of Ru porcelain".

The noble "craftsmanship" is any era can never be missing, if you ignore the spirit of craftsmanship, that the continuous development of society and human civilization to continue to glory will be frustrated. In today's society, only by giving full play to the spirit of craftsmanship, can we have a competitive advantage, can have a truly irreplaceable, enterprises can always be invincible in the complex environment. Inherit and carry forward the spirit of craftsmanship is not only the need for survival and development, but also the cornerstone of a wonderful life and a colorful life. We need to revive the spirit of craftsmen's dedication, diligence, persistence and innovation to form a unique and creative culture and values.

Dedication to create wealth

Review of Chinese history, the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Ban invented carpentry tools, agricultural implements, etc., is regarded as a model of craftsmen and grandmasters; Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty invented the geodesic instrument, the Northern Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo wrote the "Mengxi Bianchuan", the Ming Dynasty, Song Yingxing wrote the "Tiangong Kaiwu"......, the words of "Zengguang Xianwen". : "A hundred hectares of good land is not as good as a thin art in the body." In the eyes of the lower class in traditional Chinese society, even more wealth will be lost, and only a craft can ensure that they can feed and clothe themselves. It is out of this simple understanding, the people are willing to learn the craft, in order to rice bowl solid, only willing to practice the craft better and better, invariably, the formation of Chinese craftsmen unique spirit of dedication.

Ancient Chinese furniture design and manufacture mainly by hand labor to complete the design, production is often the same person, in the learning of skills is also completely used in the way of the master with apprentices, by experience and memory, stretching rope and ink, bamboo pen line, planer planing, and then measured with a gauge, made a variety of classic furniture and handicrafts.

China's Ming Dynasty, carpenters have made the bed of daily life to the extreme, a family has a good bed, is to have a fortune. In the ninth chapter of Plum in the Golden Vase, it is said that Simon Qing bought a black lacquered gold bed for Li Bail with sixteen taels of silver, and he bought two maids with eleven taels of silver by the way. Pan Jinlian know Simon Qing bought a good bed for Li Bail's house, made a scene, had to Simon Qing whirl with sixty silver bought a studs open hall bed. You can think of a bed is equivalent to how many maids' worth.

The persistence of craftsmen, but also in the invention of agricultural tools. According to Zhou Xin, "the history of the development of Chinese agricultural tools": ancient craftsmen after a long period of repeated practice, the invention of efficient and practical columbarium. It is a kind of animal traction sowing equipment, can once complete the furrow, seed, mulching and other operations to achieve the same spacing, consistent depth, sparse and dense, both to improve the quality of sowing, but also improve the efficiency of work. Achieved "three plow **** a cow, a person will be, under the seed, pulling the sow, are taken to prepare for the day sowing a hectare" effect; Yuan dynasty cotton textile experts Huang Daobao on China's cotton textile technology to carry out continuous reforms to create a set of tools to catch up with, popping, spinning and weaving: seed churning car, popping the cotton vertebrae bow, three spindles pedal spinning car! ....... Make spinning efficiency increased two or three times at once, her dedication to promote the rapid development of China's cotton textile industry, so that China's ancient cotton textile technology has been in the world's leading position.

Diligence to promote the development of

Ancient craftsmen's diligence in all aspects, it prompted the invention of our agricultural production of flooding and watering appliances are also at the forefront of the world. Traditional waterwheel, that is, people usually called "overturned car" and "tube car", is a can from the surface of the rivers and lakes and ponds uninterruptedly continue to draw water from the large-scale agricultural machinery, it can not only be used for upland water, low-field drainage and other areas of production, but also in the water canal to protect the transportation, coastal It not only can be used in production fields such as upland water lifting and low-field drainage, but also plays a great role in non-agricultural aspects such as canal transportation and coastal salt production, and its advanced technology can be directly transformed into productivity. From the point of view of the principle of mechanics, the complex structure of the waterwheel, there are linkage crank mechanism, axle gear mechanism, sprocket adjustment mechanism. From the point of view of dynamics, it gradually rises from manpower and animal power to the application of natural energy of water and wind power. According to Fang Lissong "Chinese traditional waterwheel research" contains: "it represents the ancient Chinese in the use of kinetic energy on the outstanding achievements, it and other agricultural tools such as plowing series with, play their respective roles, *** with the agricultural production to provide technical support. It was at the forefront of the world in that era." China's Han Dynasty has been the animal power pestle and water power pestle, used to process grain, hulling and grinding noodles. According to zhang li jun, hu ze xue edited by "illustrated Chinese traditional agricultural tools": to the Wei Jin and north and south dynasties, cui liang invented a water wheel to promote eight grinding disk "eight mill" machine, so that the grain processing efficiency increased by eight times. Western Jin Dynasty, some people will change the water wheel rotation with cattle traction, to achieve "the responsibility of a cow, turn the weight of eight mill", so that there is no water can also be used in the place of efficient "eight mill" and other tools.

In addition to the above ancient craftsmen have left us a lot of valuable cultural heritage, there are known as Dabin's alabaster, Jiang Qianli's conch shells, Huang Yingguang's plate engraving, Zhou Zhu's Baibao inlay, Fang Yu Lu's ink, Zhang Mingqi's stove, Zhu's bamboo carving of the three pines and other handicrafts. These craftsmen can be called world-renowned skilled craftsmen.

Perseverance makes brilliance

The perseverance of the ancient craftsmen made a great contribution to the invention and development of ceramics in China. The Terracotta Warriors of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin Shi Huang, not only the characters portrayed in a realistic and vivid expression, but also the scale of the grand, into a team into a formation, worthy of the world's wonders. The Tang Dynasty's three-color pottery toward a more refined direction, human figurines, horse figurines, camel figurines, brightly colored, each with its own form, there are many subtle movements and expressions.

After the Tang and Song dynasties, the craft of porcelain became more and more refined, and many famous kilns appeared. Shaoxing in the Tang Dynasty, the famous "Yue kiln" celadon, "jade-like" reputation. The "Xing Kiln" in Neiqiu, Hebei Province, was famous for producing white porcelain. The colored porcelains of Changsha, Hunan Province, are highly decorative, using not only paintings but also appliqués and moldings. Porcelain from famous kilns such as the Jun Kiln, Ru Kiln and Chai Kiln in Henan, Longquan Kiln in Zhejiang, Ding Kiln in Hebei, and Yaozhou Kiln in Shaanxi were famous both at home and abroad. At that time, the porcelain was "green as sky, thin as paper, bright as a mirror, sound like a chime", and was generally collected by families. China's porcelain, from the Tang Dynasty onwards, by land and water to Asia, Europe and the world, won the global admiration.

When it comes to the traditional clothing of the Chinese people, a great invention that has made the nation proud and the globe marveled - silk. Undoubtedly, China is the world's earliest sericulture and silk weaving countries. Ancestors found very early silkworms eat mulberry leaves and spit silk and "cocooning" phenomenon, after careful observation and practice, about six thousand years ago, mastered the sericulture, reeling, weaving a full set of silk production process. Clever ancient people to cocoons with boiling water, remove the gelatinous, draw out the silk head, synthetic silk thread, and then woven into silk, satin and other silk products. This process is said in a sentence, do it is much more difficult. The garment of the Zen garment unearthed in Changsha's Mawangdui was 128 centimeters long, with sleeves 190 centimeters long, but it weighed only 49 grams. The garment was as light as smoke, and lifted up as if it were not there, which made people marvel at the weaving craftsmanship at that time. So far, it is difficult to copy with modern technology. Silk developed, promoting the development of clothing, dyeing and weaving, embroidery industry. Embroidery, which is inseparable from silk, began to appear in the Shang Dynasty and continued until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, forming the four famous embroideries of Suzhou, Hunan, Guangdong and Shu. Chinese embroidery and silk accompanied by the persistent spirit of craftsmen, famous in the world.

Innovation beyond the world

Over the thousands of years of China's development, craftsmen, in addition to the various inventions mentioned above, also had the spirit of constantly pursuing innovation. Zhang Heng invented the armillary sphere and geodesic instrument, more than 1,700 years earlier than Europe; the southern dynasty, Zu Chongzhi accurately calculated the pi is in 3.1415926 ~ 3.1415927, this result is a thousand years earlier than the European; the Chinese invented in the 5th century BC double-acting piston bellows, the West in the 16th century before the use of double-acting piston bellows, two thousand one hundred years or so later than in China; the 2nd century BC. Chinese invented the rotary grain fan car, to the early 18th century, the West only had a fan car, about two thousand years later than China; the first century BC, the Chinese invented a one-wheeled wheelbarrow; and the West to the 11th century AD before the emergence of one-wheeled vehicles, more than a thousand two hundred years later than China; Hua Tuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty is good at surgery, known as the "Divine Physician ", his invention of the anaesthetic powder more than 1,600 years earlier than the West; Sui and Tang dynasties Zhaozhou Bridge is the world's oldest surviving a stone arch bridge, and so on.

We should study the connotation of Chinese craftsmanship while inheriting it. Combining these valuable cultural heritages with the management concepts of modern enterprises and introducing them into the scope of scientific research, we can broaden the horizons of research on Chinese craftsmanship and humanities, and deepen our re-conceptualization of the irreplaceable nature of Chinese craftsmanship in the enterprise culture as well as the enhancement of the status of employees.

The Chinese nation is a nation full of wisdom, not willing to lag behind, today, in the tide of mass entrepreneurship, innovation, we have to call on the ancient Chinese craftsmen that kind of dedication, diligence, perseverance, and the spirit of innovation, as a way to forge a soul for the enterprise. Enterprises should be more for those who charge into battle, for those who dare to sword, for those who have the courage to reform to create a good institutional environment and incentives, so that everyone dares to take on the role of each can excel, so that China has become a major innovation power, manufacturing power. Zheng Banqiao of the Qing Dynasty said in a poem: "Bite the green mountain and do not let go, the roots of the original in the broken rock. A thousand grinding ten thousand blows are still strong, let the east and west, south and north winds." With this spirit, we will be able to realize our dream of a strong country.
