What are the reasons why many young people are unwilling to inherit traditional crafts now?

With the development of society, technology is advancing by leaps and bounds driven by human wisdom, which has solved many needs in our daily life. As a result, many traditional crafts have been gradually replaced by science and technology, and traditional crafts have become the traces of people looking for culture, not the necessities of life. When the demand is small, if young people choose to inherit traditional crafts, it is difficult to ensure that they can make money by crafts, with few employment opportunities and narrow room for personal development. Therefore, inheriting traditional crafts can only become a rising hobby in today's society, but not a skill to support the family.

In the underdeveloped social environment, handicrafts play an important role in daily life, and many aspects of daily life are inseparable from traditional handicrafts. Therefore, in an era when not everyone can enjoy education, having a skill has become a way out for many people to enhance their survival competitiveness. So many people will choose to learn traditional crafts. Moreover, learning traditional crafts is not a one-off event, and it pays great attention to accumulated exercise. Many of them have to learn from their teachers since childhood.

The reason why traditional crafts are still remembered by people today is that the objects created by hand are not only exquisite, but also represent a culture. Everything is created by the heart and hands, and there is a soul. Moreover, because it needs to be tempered by craftsmen, the selection of materials pays great attention to quality, which is why modern people often say that hand-made things are of good quality. However, from another angle, it also reflects the reason why the traditional technology is inevitably replaced, that is, the labor and material costs are high, and it is impossible to produce in large quantities, which can neither meet people's needs nor promote economic development quickly.

When technology enters people's lives, it greatly improves the efficiency of production and reduces the cost of production. If more people can use it, or even replace it constantly, traditional technology will inevitably be replaced by science and technology. Nowadays, traditional crafts are more about the pursuit of culture and history than survival skills, which is the most fundamental reason why many young people are unwilling to inherit traditional crafts.
