Comments on The Great Craftsman 1111 words

There was a shortage of films recently, so I didn't know what to watch, so I went to see the high-scoring documentary The Great Craftsman Season 2 jointly produced by Youku and Cicada Youth, and its douban score was 8.7.

The craftsman spirit is highly respected in this era. On the one hand, the articles made by craftsmen, with pure handmade quality, make young people in modern cities yearn for them, because these articles represent the best quality. On the other hand, it is the lifestyle of craftsmen, who are engaged in all walks of life, and even have been engaged in a job for generations. 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 craftsman spirit, most people think of Japan. A nation's preciseness and attitude towards others determine how they do things. For example, Japanese food movies, watching Japanese cooking, always feel a respect for ingredients. I feel that people who cook can make the most traditional and authentic taste of food. Food not only looks mouth-watering, but definitely tastes better, and 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, and made sushi reach the height of three stars in the Michelin food guide. This is the craftsman spirit, and we can see their attitude towards one thing better.

Modern people's mentality is impetuous. Nowadays, the society drives people to pursue fame and gain profits. 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 311 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. Signboards that have been passed down for hundreds of years, their descendants could have the spirit of artisans, but now they are gone. There are too many traditional craftsmanship in our society that are facing the dilemma of no successor.

The craftsmen we see must first be good in character, good in mentality, not utilitarian, and persistent and modest in heart, which determines that they will be responsible for their craftsmanship and quality. Secondly, it is the unique craftsmanship of inheritance. They need to spend a lifetime studying a craft, and their craft will naturally be unmatched. Just like xxx, a craftsman in Shanghai, in the film, in order to recreate the Hall of Prayer for the New Year in the Temple of Heaven, a carving knife was polished for three years, and only one part can be carved by one knife, because there are no two identical knives in the world, and the knife broke in the middle of carving, so everything in his hand must be thrown away and started again. It took him five years, more than one million processes, and produced 7,118 parts. Without glue, numbering and deformation, he completed the Temple of Heaven's prayer hall with a full tenon-mortise structure. Sichuan He Bin's Shu brocade weaving technology, Anhui Gansu's rhinoceros skin lacquerware, or Dege's Engraving 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 91-year-old grandmother who worships the sheep and sells pottery in Tao Wei for rice all her life to support her family. Long Zhanxian of Tengchong, Yunnan, used ancient methods to make Teng paper, in order to let the family live a better life. They are the same as Auntie 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 spent one day watching it. It is a documentary with great value and easy to watch. Each episode introduces a craftsman, introduces everyone's unique skills, briefly introduces the process and flow of completing a work, and then tells everyone's life and feelings. It is very different from the traditional documentary, its content is very light, and the length of an episode is about 15 minutes, and there is not much time for the director 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 family has closed down, although many people initially disdained the platform like Gongda, thinking that its dissemination is too fragmented to carry in-depth reading. However, the public number has now proved its size and communication ability. This lighter information, together with short videos and live broadcasts with similar attributes, is also booming. Everyone is very familiar with short videos like one or two watches, and they are also familiar with live broadcast software that focuses on high value. ;
