After watching this episode of Xiao Song's strange talk, I got a better understanding of Japanese cuisine and ingenuity. Tetsuya Sato, a Japanese tempura master, is an example. He has been frying tempura for 50 years, so he can only do this one thing all his life, and he hardly cares about the outside world, so that he feels that Japan has not changed much. As Takahara understood, shouldn't we go out and try more? Is this the pursuit of "poetry and distance"? But after listening to Zao B, I was as shocked as he was. I think the most important thing is whether you can get satisfaction from what you do. Are you wandering around to see more experience in the world or do one thing consistently? The reason why craftsmen have such precious ingenuity is that they are different from ordinary people, calm and stick to the same thing without getting bored. I think maybe some craftsmen don't love it, but the best craftsmen must get 90% satisfaction in life from what others think is "boring".

At the same time, I also envy them. I set my own direction in life and stuck to it without any attempts or twists and turns. But at the same time, it suddenly occurred to me that they said that most craftsmen were born in poverty. How many people who are forced to choose a certain craft because of their vitality don't like their craft, so that they can't make ingenuity all their lives, but suffer? So I think that although these craftsmen have valuable qualities, they are also lucky. After all, whether they like it or not is usually up to people.

By the way, pick up some articles about Japanese craftsmen:

Craftsmen guard their skills and lives with pure craftsmanship, build the world of mankind, and leave traces of history for the years. Since the Edo period, "artisan culture" has been widely respected, and craftsmen have a strong self-esteem. Whether a job is done well or not is closely related to their personality. Love their work and can't complain. Work is their life and art in their eyes.

"Continuous breakthrough" is the only way for every craftsman to reach the first class. Skills are preserved, broken and created. Because of this, the craft inheritance between the apprentice and the master, and the "artisan spirit" is also slowly cultivated. It can be described as "craftsman spirit" to regard "ingenuity" as the soul, to regard it as the destiny handed down from generation to generation, to pursue the perfection of skills and even to create miracles. Rome wasn't built in a day. It took eight years for the disciples of the famous Qiushan carpenter to become independent. They went to the preparatory school for one year, studied as apprentices for four years, taught apprentices for three years, stood on their own feet after eight years and were expelled from school. Akiyama Li Hui, the founder of Akiyama Woodworking, founded "30 Instructions for Craftsmen" as an admonition for students to carry out the meaning of "Craftsman Spirit".

1955, Japan established the "national treasure of the earth" identification system. After strict screening, the government protects these craftsmen and gives them financial support to prevent the craft from being lost. This is a country's attitude towards traditional handicrafts, and it is this silent advocacy that inspires every Japanese's sense of identity, pride and responsibility for traditional culture, making the protection of traditional handicrafts the common mission of the whole society.

Although the "artisan spirit" comes from tradition, it coexists with the present era. You can use a chainsaw to plane wood, but it must be a carpenter's hand to plane the surface of wood very smoothly; Production can take the assembly line, but there must be processes completed by craftsmen themselves. Nowadays, both the development of innovative technology and the popularization of science and culture in Japan are actually the result of the accumulated "artisan spirit". Without the "artisan spirit", imported products can only create a utopia that takes off horizontally, and our technology can only dry up in the barren desert.

The lack of "artisan spirit" is the core factor of the completely different situation between Chinese and Japanese enterprises. "Craftsman" is a kind of reputation and a lofty honor. When "artisan spirit" becomes common sense and "artisan soul" becomes the soul of china of the whole country, can China enterprises take on a new look? The writer Yano Myitsone traveled all over China and China, and wrote about local craftsmen. He once mentioned that "the difference between China and Harmony may begin with the different understanding of' artisans' between the two cultures, and the Japanese always think that artisans are inferior. In addition, Japanese craftsmen can keep themselves from getting lost when they are publicized by the media, and China craftsmen may immediately open factories to mass-produce their own things. Whether you can keep loneliness or not is very different.
