What effect does mechanical production have on manual production?

Mechanical production will crowd out manual production to a certain extent, and it can crush manual production in quality and quantity, but this does not mean that manual production is meaningless. Now many products that can be made by hand have applied for intangible cultural heritage, which is worth protecting.

After all, if everything is made by machines, it will be a bit boring. Although machinery can't replace manual work, it has its function, that is, to turn all personalized things into standardization and low-yield things into mass production. Today, we should thank mechanized production for making us have such a life, but at the same time, we should also keep the cultural heritage of manual production. After all, the things left by our ancestors should be kept.

I read an article the other day that the oil-paper umbrella made by hand in the ancient method has been applied for now. The umbrellas we use now are all produced by mechanized assembly lines, each one looks the same, and the price is cheap and durable. Most of them are using such umbrellas, but who else is using the ancient method to make flower umbrellas made of bamboo and oil paper? If you use this umbrella to shelter from the rain today, many people may look at you, but they don't think you are beautiful, but they think you are a little different. Too many handicrafts such as oil-paper umbrellas are gradually eliminated by mechanical production. We enjoy the convenience brought by mass production, and may forget the beauty brought by those handwork.

Now think about the paper umbrella that Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi played on the bridge in The Legend of the New White Niangzi. Isn't it beautiful? But it is not as good as the umbrella made by modern technology, which has good rain-proof effect and can be directly convenient, and the oil-paper umbrella loses its competitiveness. But I believe that this technology will not be destroyed by our generation. People can't just be convenient and quick. Those things that are carefully crafted are easier to inject into the soul.
