Great craftsman's comment 1000 words

I don't know what to watch recently. I went to see the high-scoring documentary "The Second Season of the Great Craftsman" jointly produced by Youku and Cicada Junior. Douban scored 8.7.

Craftsmanship is highly respected in this era. On the one hand, the articles made by craftsmen are of pure handmade quality, which makes young people in modern cities yearn for, because these articles represent the best quality. On the other hand, it is a craftsman's lifestyle, engaged in all walks of life, and even engaged in a job from generation to generation. Their work transcends the concept of time, inheriting a craft from generation to generation, and taking a lifetime to do one thing to the extreme.

When it comes to craftsmanship, most people think of Japan. A nation's rigor and attitude towards life determine the way they do things. For example, Japanese food movies, watching Japanese food, always feel a respect for ingredients. I feel that people who cook can make the most traditional and authentic food taste. The food not only looks mouth-watering, but also definitely tastes better. These foods are definitely safe. Don't worry about chemical additives and food preservatives, and don't worry about unhealthy. Just like Jiro Ono in "The God of Sushi", he made rice balls all his life, which made sushi reach the height of three stars in Michelin food guide. This is the spirit of artisans, and we can see their attitude towards one thing.

Modern people are impetuous. Nowadays, people are driven to pursue fame and fortune. Any industry wants to be bigger, stronger, listed and make money. Many old shops that have been passed down for a hundred years are now listed, such as Tongrentang, which has a history of more than 300 years. After listing, their products are definitely no longer the products of the year. In order to make money, Tongrentang's drugs frequently get negative news because of quality problems. Signs that have been passed down for hundreds of years, their descendants could have the spirit of artisans, but now they don't. There are too many traditional crafts in our society facing the dilemma of no successor.

The craftsmen we see must first have good character, good mentality, no utility, and persistent modesty, which determines that they will be responsible for the craft and quality. Secondly, it is a unique process of inheritance. They need to spend a lifetime studying a craft, and their craft will naturally be unparalleled. Just like xxx, a craftsman in Shanghai in the movie, in order to rebuild the Temple of Heaven and pray for the New Year, a meat cleaver has been polished for three years, and only a part can be carved with one knife, because there are no two identical knives in the world, and the knife breaks in the middle of carving, so everything in his hand must be thrown away and started again. It took him five years to produce 765,438+008 parts through 65,438+million processes. No glue, no numbering, no deformation, he completed the Temple of Heaven's prayer hall with tenon-mortise structure. Sichuan He Bin's Shu brocade weaving technology, Anhui Gansu's rhinoceros leather lacquerware, or Dege's seal cutting academy's Peng Cuo Zeren, they are doing different jobs and living in different places, but their spirit is * * *, and they spend their whole lives doing one thing well.

For craftsmen, regardless of education, class, race and national boundaries, this documentary also includes Li Tao's successor, a 90-year-old grandmother, who worships the sun in Taowei all her life and sells pottery for rice in order to support her family. Long Zhanxian of Tengchong, Yunnan, used ancient methods to make rattan paper in order to make his family live a better life. They are the same as Aunt Liu Caiyun in Miaoli, Taiwan, because with the popularity of the Internet and young people's concern for traditional culture, she will rely on Rush Weaving to enter the international stage, and be seen by more and more people and recognized by the whole world from her originally unknown life.

There are only 12 episodes this season, and I watched it all day. This is a very valuable documentary, which is easy to watch. Each episode introduces a craftsman, introduces everyone's unique skills, briefly introduces the process and process of completing a work, and then tells everyone's life and feelings. It is very different from the traditional documentary, and the content is very light. The length of an episode is about 15 minutes, so the director doesn't have much time to dig deep into the content. In fact, this kind of creation is also related to our times. In recent years, the traditional media is facing the dilemma of being eliminated, and one company has closed down. Although many people initially dismissed the platform like the University of Technology, they thought that its communication was too fragmented to carry deep reading. However, WeChat official account has now proved its scale and communication ability. This lighter information, coupled with short videos and live broadcasts with similar attributes, is also booming. Everyone is very familiar with short videos such as one or two watches, and they are also familiar with live broadcast software that focuses on high value.
