The time of the formation of traditional villages in Shaanxi Province

Zhaojiazui Village, an ancient village in Weibei, Shaanxi, is now empty. This is because with the development of the times, local residents have been unable to make a living in this place. Traditional handicrafts are rarely needed, but are replaced by some new products. Therefore, in order to make a living, villagers have moved their families.

There is an ancient village called Zhaojiazui in the loess mountain in Weibei, Shaanxi. If you are lucky enough to come here and have a look, you will see many neatly arranged vats, which are very spectacular, but it makes people wonder why there are so many vats in this place. There are about 6000 vats, neatly arranged in an S-shape, which is very distinctive at first glance. When you know the origin of the vat, you will feel a little sad and sad.

Now that the village is empty, the time people lived has become history. A long time ago, many families lived here, and each family lived and worked in peace and contentment. Here we are going to mention the jar we mentioned before. At that time, every household produced this kind of water tank, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Almost all the water tanks in Guanzhong area came from here, and everyone was able to support their families by this craft, and their lives were relatively comfortable. However, with the gradual strength of China and the rapid development of science and technology, some new products have gradually appeared in the market. As a traditional and ancient handicraft industry, this kind of value-added tax has not flourished. Later, many products were almost made by machines, and handmade products became more and more unpopular, because the production process was cumbersome and people forgot about it.

When the industry of manual dye vats has been in recession, the villagers who make a living from dye vats here naturally have no way to survive, so many villagers have moved to other places to seek survival. Only a dozen families still insist, even firmly believe that one day everything will return to the original appearance, but unfortunately, technology is always developing and progressing. After liberation, only a stubborn family still runs a manual workshop. Later, forced by the situation, it was impossible to survive. The family also moved away, so from then on, Zhaojiazui Village was empty. Many years later, people learned about the situation here, protected it, and bought vats from people around them and put them in the village one by one to commemorate the glory of Zhaojiazui Village, which has disappeared.
