Grandpa, a carpenter who used mortise and tenon technology to make transformers, became a red man. How to pass on traditional technology?

A carpenter's grandfather became a celebrity. He made a wooden transformer with the traditional mortise and tenon splicing method in China. Once the work was put on the Internet, it caused a heated discussion. The connection of traditional wooden furniture generally adopts tenon and mortise. There are no nails, and with the wisdom of craftsmen, the joints are carved into patterns that can check and balance each other, and they are very firm after being spliced together. This is the wisdom left by the older generation. How can we pass it on?

Now is the Internet age, and we can use the Internet flexibly to make this traditional handicraft fire up. I don't think it's because no one likes it, but because the publicity is not in place. People who have been exposed to mortise and tenon technology since childhood have long lost interest in mortise and tenon technology. It is definitely not enough to rely solely on the propaganda of the master. China is so big, people who really like tenons and mortises abound, but the publicity is not in place, and people who like tenons and mortises can't understand the information, and their interest gradually disappears. We can further promote mortise and tenon through short videos or copywriting, so that people who like it can always pay attention to the information about mortise and tenon technology, and can also give tutorials to people who have the ability to learn by themselves.

Offline, mortise and tenon manufacturing technology can be introduced into campus interest education courses, so that interested children can directly contact this traditional handicraft. Just like paper-cutting, children can watch closely how the master finishes mortise and tenon, and can finish a mortise and tenon work of their own in the form of homework in the course.

The most important thing for the inheritance of traditional culture is to make the younger generation interested in this traditional craft and willing to devote themselves to learning and promoting it. It is said that there are no teachers who are unwilling to teach, only students who don't want to learn. No traditional craftsman wants such a beautiful craft to be broken in his own hands, so as long as someone is willing to learn, I believe they will give everything they have and pass on their experience, techniques and views on traditional spirit to their students. The responsibility of inheriting traditional handicrafts lies not only with the master, but also with our generation of young people. How can we break what our ancestors left behind for many years? Let's join the ranks of inheriting traditional handicrafts and create a bigger stage for traditional handicrafts.
