"Wamao" is ingenious and deep in love.

The world loves to laugh at craftsmen who are crazy,

But craftsmen never care about it.

Only when the arts are in their hands,

a craftsman can laugh for life.

what do you think of a craftsman? Weird and stubborn? Cann't figure it out

In my opinion, none of them. In my eyes, they are just a group of great gods, with exquisite skills, creating lives and blooming the beauty of the times. Just like Sanxingdui ruins, which have constantly surprised us recently, they are continuing the life of an era and showing human civilization.

one skill travels all over the world. I like to see admirable craftsmen. Each of them is a book that people can read again and again.

Wamao, published by People's Literature Publishing House in 221, caught my eye. Wamao is a novel about artisans. Ge Liang, the author, took "artisans" as a guide, and wrote the craftsmen's skills and the stories behind them in different industries from the southern part of the Yangtze River and the southern part of the Yangtze River to the southwestern part of the Yangtze River, involving ancient book restorers, hairdressers and ceramists.

a craftsman may be unsmiling, or he may not be good at words. But when it comes to their own craftsmanship, there is light and love in their eyes. A craftsman's heart loves his art and goes deep.

a craftsman is not only a creature, but also a creator of life.

from scratch, the objects made by craftsmen are the first signs of coming into this world, and every process has its own temperature. Every craft, I can feel their life and the joy of coming into this world.

In order to save Grandpa's precious manuscript, Mao Guo met the calligrapher Jane. In the hands of the restorer, the book was completely restored and gained a new life. Lao Dong, another China traditional ancient book restorer, loves books as much as his life. Every book is restored strictly according to the principle of "keeping the old as the old". Through his hands, books are telling the light of being reshaped.

two restorers with different cultures and origins, but they all reach the same goal, and they can give the book the "dignity" it wants. They are people who live in the old days, and the books they have repaired can go back to their times and can also be displayed in our times.

The CCTV documentary "Artisans of Great Powers" introduced the restoration of Terracotta Warriors in one issue. The terracotta warriors and horses were unearthed and shocked the world. This is the "life" more than 2, years ago. The craftsmen in China created a giant sculpture project at that time, leaving behind a cultural monument that made pride of chinese famous in the world, which is a miracle of the world. However, after more than 2, years of historical accumulation, when the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were first unearthed, they fell down and were crushed into pieces. How to stand up the cultural fragments completely and restore their original appearance is an arduous test.

Maybe many people don't know that when the Terracotta Warriors were unearthed, they were basically fragments, not a whole. The broken terracotta warriors and horses can stand up, all thanks to every craftsman who repaired the terracotta warriors and horses. They grasped the discretion and reappeared the terracotta warriors and horses.

Pieces of debris, in the hands of craftsmen, have become majestic soldiers. Be reborn.

craftsmen, creatures, also create life.

art is like a person, and you have to do things for yourself. It is often said that the words are like people, the stories of craftsmen they have read, and their skills are like people, serious, loving and sincere, and they live by them. Although they often don't know it, over time, their skills have been integrated into their lives, which has subtly affected their behavior.

Old Dong and Maoguo in "The Bookmaker" have carefully repaired a certificate of ink dyeing when they were young, as good as new. Whether repairing books or shoes, or walking in life, Lao Dong always has his principles.

No one knows why Lao Dong goes through all kinds of hardships and stands out to repair shoes every day. At the moment when the truth came, the tearful daughter who was raised for others was taken away by her biological mother. Over the years, Lao Dong has been worried that one day the daughter's mother will regret her abandonment and come to look for her children, fearing that she just didn't have a stall that day and the woman couldn't find anyone. So, twelve years goes on like a day, never stopping, just for the sake of their mother and daughter having a chance to know each other and give this woman a hand.

Persistence and unselfishness, in exchange for the reunion of mother and daughter, is to pity Lao Dong, raise her daughter well, be smart and sensible, and in the end, help others, feel sorry for herself, and end her feelings for many years in an instant. Although it is difficult to give up, he still chooses to let the child return to his mother. Lao Dong, a little stubbornness in his life, is vividly displayed here.

Rong Ruihong in Wamao is a typical person who doesn't know the influence of ceramic art on her. She followed the physical nature and copied her heart by hand. Her life is very bitter, but she always has a strong and honest spirit and knows simple truth. Her world is small, but it is complete and powerful. My sweetheart was injured by a mine, blind in one eye and lame in one leg. She took good care of it and married it. She must let him send the tile cat, let him be strong with himself and not be afraid of other people's eyes. She knows self-respect, others will respect you, and life is her own, not for others to see.

She can distinguish between things and know how to use her husband's talents where they are needed more. The headmaster asked Ning Huaiyuan (Rong Ruihong's husband) to teach, but he refused to go and dared not teach in this way. Rong Ruihong did not give up, knowing that her husband's teaching was the better way, and learning was useful, which was the real use. Her words made Ning Huaiyuan finally dare to face everything in the future.

Although she is a woman, she has a far and broad vision.

A craftsman's attitude towards life is just like a craft.

a craftsman interprets love with his life's actions.

In "Flying Hair", the barber's master Zhai faded away from the brilliant "peacock" and hid in an ordinary small barber shop in the market. People are alive, and sometimes they can't resist the ups and downs of the world. People come and go, and the world is also metabolizing. In the midst of thousands of changes, he is taking care of his inner love with his life's actions, which has become a mirage in this city. The building has disappeared, but love lasts forever. The temperature of haircut is soft and light.

This passage by Jonathan Lee is a good interpretation of every craftsman's mind.

Old Dong, an ancient book restorer, thinks it's all worth it, even if he sacrifices his work for a book, so that it won't be damaged when it's repaired. He kept trying and making mistakes, and copied the official engraving of Yongzheng period. Unlike others, who felt that there was no way out, they advocated replacing the whole page cover, but Lao Dong thought that this was not protecting the book, but destroying it. Put aside all ridicule, insist on "repairing the old as the old", and finally successfully complete the promise of repairing books. If a person loves it so much, he will not make do. Action is the best language of love.

in the opinion of an excellent craftsman, if he wants to do his craft, he will do it best. Every object, man and time, has its own characteristics. Like Wamao, all ethnic groups in Yunnan are cats in one state. Longquan Wamao in Rongchangde is well-known in the industry, but he still takes his granddaughter to see other people's Wamao, see the differences and see what progress has been made. Learn with an open mind and strive for perfection. By looking at all kinds of changes, let her understand the essence of constant change: "If you look at it more, you will keep the unchanging foundation of your own Longquan cat more and more." Can be truly passed down.

a craftsman loves deeply, sees far and goes deep.

the craftsman spirit is passed down from generation to generation. Ge Liang's Wamao, with three titles, conveys a craftsman spirit. However, there is a focus, and the book maker pays attention to "not meeting a good worker, preferring to keep the old things", which is the greatest tacit understanding between book collectors and book revisers; Feifa is biased towards persistence and innovation, keeping up with the changes of the times; "Wamao" is the inheritance of traditional production technology, and it is the foundation of the craftsman's ingenuity to be fond of things, casual and caring for things.

The craftsman spirit, which is passed down from generation to generation, is a commitment to craftsmanship and also a commitment to the times.

In Ge Liang's famous novel "North Kite", the kite-tying craftsman, Master Long, was promised a world by others, and he attached a lifelong promise. "This kite is one year old, and everything is in it." The third generation of salary will pass on this promise.

Rongchangde in Wamao is known as "Elvis Presley" in the industry. He is never aloof, not only passing on his skills and vision to the next generation, but also attaching importance to the inheritance of the craftsman's spirit. Roots are right, roads are right, and the spirit of craftsmen can be passed down on the right track. From Rongchangde to his granddaughter Rong Ruihong, and then to the fifth generation of Rong Zhiwu, the ingenuity flows endlessly like a river in the passage of time.

Yang Xiwen said that there is no road in life in vain, and every step counts. I think the same is true of inheritance. The craftsman's ingenuity is passed on to each of us.

Thanks to Ge Liang for portraying the unique side of craftsmen with his brushwork, which makes people associate with each other subtly and form their own pictures. Mo Yan commented: "Ge Liang is consciously inheriting the tradition of China's novels, the strength of language and the balance of discretion. Even in difficult times, the concept of benevolence and righteousness has not disappeared in his characters. The most splendid part of Chinese traditional culture has been reproduced in these characters. "

Through Wamao, I learned about an industry that I have never been exposed to-ancient book restorer, and also learned about the sacred Wamao in Longquan. Wamao is a beautiful symbol and a kind of shelter. It connects the vast past and shows the endless future.

I hope that the traditional craftsmanship and craftsman spirit of China culture will flourish in one carrier after another. Instead of being overwhelmed by the development of the times and the soaring of science and technology, it has become history.

craftsmen's ingenuity, we pass it on together.
