China traditional artists will soon be lost.

In the 1970s and 1980s, rural craftsmen were very popular. If anyone hears of craftsmen, it is a matter of glorifying ancestors.

After all, not everyone can do this craft. If you master this skill, you will be well-fed, respected and have unlimited scenery.

However, the times are changing rapidly, and some former craftsmen are no longer in charge.

In this paper, the seven "craftsmen" mentioned by the author and everyone are rare now, and even have disappeared. Which seven craftsmen are they? Everyone will have an answer after reading it.

First of all, blacksmith

I think everyone is familiar with this. You can see all kinds of exquisite gadgets made by blacksmiths in rural markets, including axes, hammers and shovels.

Farmer friends also like these objects very much. If you can get a convenient tool, you don't have to worry about working on the ground.

But now, there are fewer and fewer blacksmiths. Many ironworks have been able to operate in an assembly line way with advanced machines. It is not only slow but also hard for people to strike iron, so the blacksmith industry is very lonely now.

Second, the nail scale

In the past, people relied on iron scales to do business, and the profession of nail scales was also respected. After all, only serious people can do this job.

Moreover, each steelyard is made by hand, and the price will not be too cheap. It is natural to say that the profession of nailing can become one of the high-income occupations at that time.

But the topic of inaccurate weighing has never stopped. Some black-hearted businessmen cheat ordinary people with inaccurate scales.

Fortunately, the appearance of electronic scales can be accurate to the minute, and the heavy iron bar scale is naturally ignored by the public.

Third, washboard manufacturers.

In the past, most people washed clothes by hand, and the washboard was the most effective assistant for housewives. Putting clothes on it can save a lot of effort, and the washed clothes are clean, which was also highly respected at that time.

The washboard maker may be one of the unfamiliar craftsmen, but these washboards are indeed hand-carved line by line.

If someone's washboard becomes dull after using it for a long time, they can also find these craftsmen to repair and improve it. They can carve the old washboard into a new washboard in half an hour.

However, with the development of science and technology, washing machines came out. Nowadays, young people may not be able to use washboards, and the skill of making washboards must be lost now.

Fourth, the plasterer

Older people don't need to hire engineering teams and designers to repair houses. At that time, it was all self-reliance. They hire a plasterer at most, who is mainly responsible for building the house firmly.

At that time, masons were very popular. Although it is an employment relationship, the owner will entertain them. After all, the future of their house is in the hands of plasterers.

In addition to working hours, the host will also take the initiative to serve tea and meals in his spare time, just to let the masons repair the house with care.

However, this profession has gradually faded out of the public's field of vision, mainly because it is no longer necessary to build a house brick by brick, but to build a house directly with reinforced concrete according to the frame structure, and the built house is stronger and more labor-saving.

Five, carpenters

People used to build new houses by carpenters to buy furniture. At that time, most people had no money to buy ready-made furniture, so it was most appropriate to ask carpenters to make furniture.

As small as tables, chairs and benches, as large as doors and windows, carpenters can build them. Moreover, the furniture made by carpenters by hand is strong and durable, so the profession of carpenter is very popular.

But now many friends don't have enough patience to wait, because it takes a carpenter at least one month to make a set of furniture. More and more people like to buy ready-made things, and doors and windows are also made of aluminum alloy.

Slowly, there are fewer and fewer craftsmen in this industry, and only a few people can reach the top of this industry with superb skills and continue to survive.

Six, Mao Jiang

People used to live in thatched cottages, but this kind of house is easy to leak after a long time, so in a few years, a bricklayer will be asked to change all the grass on the roof, which is similar to the bricklayer's work now.

Don't underestimate these people, only skilled people can ensure that the newly built thatched roof is watertight.

It is also because of their existence that people can live in houses that don't leak rain.

Unfortunately, there are no thatched cottages now, and masons naturally disappear.

Seven, _ craftsmen

As the old saying goes, "New three years old three years, sewing again and again for three years", the older generation must be familiar with this sentence. In the era when they lived, materials were extremely scarce, and a family might only have a big pot. If it breaks down, it may not have the money to buy a new pot.

And _ craftsmen can just solve the problems of villagers. With their own skills, they can make up the broken pots and pans, and they look like new ones without any sense of disobedience.

However, with the development of the times, young people now don't care about this little money, and they buy new ones directly when things are broken, which also leads craftsmen to gradually withdraw from the public's field of vision.

In fact, these slowly disappearing craftsmen have been eliminated by the society, and the times are developing rapidly. Everyone should keep pace with the times.

Of course, I hope young people will continue to carry forward some traditional folk crafts.

Ask everyone, how many of these seven "craftsmen" can you see in your local area?
