Memories of Wudu Ancient Town: Traditional Craftsman Spirit Inherited by Dingdang.

Zhongshan Street is the oldest preserved street in Wudu City, which is not only the boundary of the city, but also the most prosperous place in history. Time flies, with the continuous progress of urban expansion and old city reconstruction project, Zhongshan Street has gradually calmed down, but those ancient towers, shops and streets still soothe the spiritual world of people who have lived here for a long time, and the unique features displayed here are also infecting everyone who approaches here and knows about it. Let's approach Zhongshan Street, rediscover the old times with you and appreciate the deep homesickness.

When the noise of the day subsides a little, listen carefully to the streets of Zhongshan, and you can still hear the rhythmic tinkling sound. Following the sound, it is an old silver shop: silver ingots with unique luster, in the hands of 74-year-old shopkeeper Mou, quickly turned into exquisite silver ornaments. According to the owner, Mou, this shop was inherited by his father from his grandfather and has been in Mou's hand for at least one hundred years.

Old silversmith Mou: My father has been making silverware since three years before liberation. I am the youngest. If my father is over 100 years old, I will be over 70 years old. I inherited this craft, and now when I am old, I will let my younger son inherit it.

In recent years, handmade products are favored again. Different from assembly line operation, every handmade product means that everyone gets a unique product. In the tinkling sound, senior artists endow each handicraft with temperature and soul. Some people love this simplicity, while others pursue the * * * version of cultural enjoyment.

Citizen Zhang Qiaoai: It is this old silversmith who plays well (see), the price is right and the quality is good. I will buy one. I want to wear a pair of earrings and a ring for my wife some other day. Let me have a look. If I move, I will find everything. If I don't move, I can come down and play at any time. Everything is cheap and reasonable.

Silver jewelry culture has a long history, stretching for thousands of years. Mou Xin, the son of Mou, has now inherited his father's craft. The times are changing, but their craft is inheriting the exquisiteness and delicacy of their parents, and they skillfully operate every step: melting, beating, calcining, quenching, modeling and polishing, and every step embodies his respect for this skill. This is the craftsman spirit, and it is this spirit that has created everyone's unique mark.

Mou Xin, the second generation boss of Pu Yin: I have been learning this craft since I was a child. The clothes are ironed and the hands are ironed. I don't want this traditional craft, intangible cultural heritage and craftsman spirit to disappear from me. I have a son, too, and I will pass it on to the next generation.

For the better development of the city, Zhongshan Road has been included in the shantytown renovation plan, and some gold and silver processing shops are also facing the demolition problem. He told reporters that although he didn't give up, no matter where he went, as long as he was there, he would definitely keep this craft.

Old silversmith Mou: I miss this street. It's been almost 30 years. The customers here are very familiar with me and often come to this street to find me. Although a little reluctant, but for the sake of national construction, we should move. Even if I moved later, customers could find me.
