The continuous development of the times has brought us a convenient life, but some of the impressive scenes in our memories have been left behindSome industries have also been left behind in the rapid development of the economic development train.
The cries that can often be heard in the past are long gone, and at the same time, with the continuous improvement of all walks of lifeSome ancient trades are slowly disappearing from people's field of vision and have become "tears of the times".
And their disappearance is objectively doomed, what do these industries have? How many do you know?
"A string sounded, and pieces of flowers flew. ”This is the scene when playing cottonHis history is very long, dating back to the Yuan Dynasty, when playing cotton was a very stable job. At that timeQuilts are still a rarity, It's already very good for every family to have a quilt to cover, but we all know the disadvantages of quilts:The more you cover, the thinner it gets
The cotton becomes firm due to squeezing, which is exacerbated by wet weather, which makes the quilt less insulating.
YesThe value of a quilt is very high, and it is impossible to say that it is thin and thrown away, which has led to the emergence and development of the cotton industryThe bounced cotton will become softer and warmer than before.
People who play cotton generally rely on a slingshot, a grinding disc and a slingshot, most of them are husband and wife, and the husband plays the wife and finishes it and puts it into the quilt.
Don't look easy to sayIf no one teaches themselves, they can't figure it out, and at that time, people in the industry were naturally very precious and would not spread it to the outside world.
This leads to:Most of the technology has been passed down from generation to generationIn this way, there is only one benefit, which guarantees that there are very few people who can play cotton, and there will be no problem of malicious competition by many people.
But with the development of the times,Elastic cotton has been able to operate mechanizedBoth the effect and efficiency are better than manual debombing, and the cost is lower.
This has led to the gradual disappearance of the cotton industry from everyone's field of visionToday, there may only be some remote areas where such practitioners exist.
"Split the road of life and death with both hands, and cut the root of right and wrong with one knife. ”It isZhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of it in the Spring Festival couplets given to a pig maker, the development of pig ploughing is longerDuring the Eastern Han Dynasty, under the influence of Hua Tuo, some people began to plow pigs.
The so-called pig is to cut off the domestic pig official, which is the same as the eunuch in ancient times, but the pig ploughing can be completed regardless of male and female, and some people will have doubts at this time:Why cut it off? If the pig dies, won't it be over?
Pig farming in ancient times was different from now, when it was far less advanced than today's technologyThe food fed to pigs is not comparable, and the conditions and food are not good, which leads to a lot of pigs not growing meat or dying early.
Especially when it comes time for male and female sows to come into heat, they will become thinner, unbridled venting will beLet them waste food in vain, and they will not grow meat, so it seems that plowing pigs has become a must-do.
Not only can it make them eat with peace of mind and not think about what they have, but it can also make them fatterThe most important thing is that the pigs that have been treated by the pig plough will also have an improved meat taste and will no longer have an unpleasant taste
In addition, at that time, almost every village had people who chose to raise pigsEither they are raised to sell for money, or they are slaughtered and eaten during the Chinese New Year, and the pig maker has become a very popular industry.
He wandered from village to villageThe only thing in his bag is his pig-cutting business, and the meals and accommodations are solved at the customer's home, which is quite a feeling of being alone in the rivers and lakes.
But now, every household raising pigs has become a thing of the pastThe highly mechanically industrialized breeding industry has left them with no place to show their talents, and the pigs have become more and more humane with the development of science and technology, and the pig craftsmen have disappeared in the long river of the development of the times.
"Mend the pot".Last century or even more than a decade agoYou can often hear such shouts, I can always see an older man walking around the streets with a toolbox in his hand, shouting.
At that timeStainless steel pots or non-stick pans are not yet widespread, in rural areasMost people use iron pots, which will inevitably cause water leakage or other problems after a long time.
After hearing the shouting, people in need were in a hurry to repair the broken potIn addition to the customers in need, there are more children who sit around and watch the playFor children who didn't have much pastime at that time, it was very strange to watch others repair pots.
Tinkers are not as omnipotent as the children seemThey also start as an apprentice, and unlike cotton, tinkerers have a complete series of master-apprentice models.
Many children who want to learn a trade are sent to the old tinker's house to learn XiIn the beginning, there was no salary and even tuition fees, and most of this study took three years.
Wait until you leave the school before you can repair the pot for others yourselfToday's tinkerers are also very few and can only be seen in very remote places.
The biggest reason isThere is no need to fix the pot nowOriginally, steel was too expensive due to underdeveloped industry, and a pot could be used by a family for decades.
Now it's different,A pot is only a few dozen yuan, and a slightly more expensive brand can be bought for hundreds of yuan.
At the same time, because of the development of industrial technology, it is rare to use it badlyEven if it is broken, most people want to replace it with a new one, rather than find someone to tinker with it, and no one wants to do it without a market potsmith.
Beauty is still sought after by countless people today, and most of the beauty nowadays is to use cosmetics or go to beauty salons to become beautiful through instrumentsBut what did people do before these devices appeared? Didn't women in ancient times love beauty?
Naturally, face twisting is a time-honored traditional beauty treatment, which is different from today's complex beauty proceduresThe tool for twisting the face is very simple, it only requires two threads.
Between the two threads, the tiny fluff on the woman's face and the messy hair on the sideburns disappeared, especially the mustache that girls are most afraid of growing on their faces, can also be eliminated by twisting their faces.
The most important thing is that this practice does not shave and grow like a beardThe craft of twisting the face is widely spread among women, and they will make themselves look more beautiful and moving by twisting their faces when they get married or on other important occasions.
Of course, it is basically to squeeze out the beard or short hair by squeezing between the two threadsIf you use it occasionally, it is not ***, but if you do it often, it is very easy to hurt the ** tissue on your face.
Coupled with the development of the beauty industry over the years,There are more and more ways to do the effect of wringing your face, and it is smaller, In this way, the twisted face that has been passed down for an unknown amount of time has disappeared into the long river of history.
Of course, some historical barbershops today may still provide customers with face-twisting services, but they are all very expensiveHow long can it be passed down now? No one can know.
Nowadays, most people probably don't know what these three words mean when they see the writing lineBut a few decades ago, writing was very popular, and for no other reason than that there were too few literate people at that time.
At this time, the writing line has multiple usesOne is to come up with a name, and the second is to help write couplets or letters, but today the writing line has long since disappeared.
Among them, in addition to the literacy campaign in our country,The biggest reason is that now that I have a mobile phone, it is very convenient to convert voice to text or anything else, and there is no need to write letters.
Once upon a time, the merchant can be said to be the most representative of the small tradersThey are active in the major markets, selling simple goods to make a living.
Especially in the Song Dynasty, when commerce reached its peak,These people can be found on almost every street in the big cities, carrying the shelves of recommendations, which are filled with small goods.
A few decades ago, they could also be seen in some marketsBut now it is almost completely invisible, one is the emergence of the Internet + model, all kinds of goods can be purchased without leaving home.
The second is that people rarely go to the market to buy things, supermarkets have become the choice of most people, and product quality has become the first priority.
Shoe shiners should be familiar to everyoneMost of the impressions of it are either old men or eccentric children
In the last century, with the emergence of leather shoes in China, it soon gained a lot of followershas become a sign of the upper class for a while, since the self-proclaimed upper class people naturally do not shine their shoes.
Especially when they go out, they don't wipe their shoes when they get dirtyWalk to the lively place and stretch your feet to the shoe-shiner, and in a few minutes the shoes will become like new, which is called high-end in their eyes.
Because of this, the number of shoe-shiners is constantly increasingEspecially for those children who don't have enough to eat, a few minutes of hard work can buy a full meal.
But nowadays there are hardly any shoe-shinersThe development of society has made it possible for most people to get a lot of money just for their hard work, and most importantly, they don't need to look at other people's faces.
And no one needs to have their shoes shined anymoreAfter all, it is a product of the times, and the tide of the times will naturally be forgotten or even disappeared.
Nowadays, blacksmithing has long lost its former glory, and blacksmithing was a popular industry in ancient timesKitchen knives, hoes, etc. were needed by every household, and there were not so many bazaars at that time.
If you want to buy a kitchen knife, you can only go to the blacksmith yourself, and if there is a demand, someone will naturally do itAt that time, if you wanted your children to go to blacksmithing to Xi, you had to pay a lot of tuition, after all, this was really a business that could support the family.
Even if you can only forge some simple daily utensils, you don't have to worry about not having customersBut now it is different, large-scale, modern, standardized factories have appeared, and the manufacture of iron is very fast.
No one goes to make their own iron and forge it anymoreFirst, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and second, the things that are made are not as good as those made in factoriesNo one will buy it, and if there is no market, there will be no one to do this business.
In every era, there are professions that follow the development of the timesIf people had never heard of the Internet a few decades ago, perhaps in a few decades, more professions would have disappeared
The disappearance of these trades is not a bad thingThey just couldn't keep up with the times and were eliminated, and some of them now have excellent alternatives.
