About 72 kinds of folk craftsmen

According to Qingbo Magazine, the main industries in China in the Tang Dynasty were "36 lines", namely, meat shops, palace powder, ready-made clothes, jade articles, jewelry, silk, paper, seafood, fresh fish, stationery, tea, bamboo and wood, rice wine, ironware, ancient embroidery, needle and thread, soup shops, medicine shops, bookbinding and so on. Tsui Hark said in Clearing Money, Agriculture, Industry and Commerce: "Thirty-six walkers, various occupations. As far as the division of labor is concerned, it is 36 lines, 72 lines, and 360 lines ten times. " It can be seen that "72 lines" is a virtual indicator, and the 72 lines or 360 lines that people often say today are not specific numbers. The above is the traditional view of all walks of life. In fact, the division of labor in social industries has far exceeded the 72nd line.
