The former craftsmen, the shouting on the street, gradually disappeared from our field of vision. The old craftsmen who were once "stunts" withdrew from the highlight moment. The industry, which used to be "one person can feed a family", has withdrawn from the stage of history due to the development of the times and various reasons. Some of the old trades are eliminated, some are upgraded, and some are traditional arts to be inherited and carried forward.
The following old trades have disappeared, see if there are any memory symbols you have experienced? The old days that you can't go back to!
1. Cotton maker.
For ordinary people, the disappearance of some industries will bring inconvenience to life, such as: playing cotton, some cotton quilts cover for 20 years, and regain the fluffy feeling after re-playing, do not feel heavy, and there is no need to buy their own quilts again. The former hand-played cotton makers are also becoming fewer and fewer, and have almost disappeared.
2. Pen repair master.
Fountain pens had a noble status in the past, and those who owned fountain pens at that time were a symbol of status and culture. At that time, the fountain pen was a foreign thing, so there was a fountain pen as a treasure, and any problems with the fountain pen would be solved in the hands of the pen repairer. The fountain pen master has also become the "life-saver" of the fountain pen.
The pen repairer's stall has all the accessories of the fountain pen, including the fountain pen bag, the nib, the pen tongue and other accessories. Any fountain pen like a brand is not a problem in the hands of a pen repairer. Especially at the time, it was particularly popular to engrave on fountain pens.
Fountain pens were also the best gifts for friends and family at the time. Today's fountain pens have been replaced by gel pens, whether it is an office or a campus fountain pen is rare, fountain pens are also very cheap now, and they are basically replaced when they are broken. So the once glorious fountain pen repairers have also disappeared.
3. Writing line, ** letter.
In the past, letters were an expression of emotion, longing for relatives and friends, and communication. However, in the past years, the correspondence was very frequent, and for the elderly people who were uneducated or had low education, it was very difficult to write letters, so there were writing lines, letters and other businesses. However, with the change of times, the advancement of science and technology, and the popularization of mobile phones and the Internet, this industry has basically disappeared from time.
4. Forging grinder, forging grinding disc.
The grinding disc has a history of thousands of years in our country, and the grinding disc plays a huge role in life. The forging disc requires nearly 10,000 axes and chisels and thousands of hours of tempering by the forge. The grinding disc is made up of two cobblestones, the upper one male and the lower one female. The grinding disc will be used for a long time, which will cause wear and tear, so it needs to be repaired and maintained by "forging millers".
I heard the older generation say that it takes two days for a mature and experienced blacksmith to forge a plate of grinding, and the income is very good, but with the rise of rice mills in the past 20 years, the grinding discs are rarely used, and the forges and grinders have disappeared.
5. Tinker.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, people's lives were not rich at that time, and pots and pans were also precious objects. In those days, you could always hear the shouts of "mending the pot" on the street.
In the past, the recasting of aluminum pots and pressure cookers can be turned into ordinary pots, saving energy, saving money, and saving energy for the country, why not!
As life gets better and better, the pot will be replaced with a new one if it is broken. Especially today's young people don't have the idea of frugality. The craft will also be lost.
6. Curium craftsman. 
There is an old saying: "If you don't have that diamond, don't do this porcelain work". This is the smith. In the past, it was common to hear "curium pots, bowls, and vats".
In the previous era, there was a scarcity of living materials, so if the basins, bowls, and vats were broken, they would be repaired by a curium maker and continued to be used. In the past, the industry was backward, the industrial products were high, and the pots and pans were reluctant to throw away even if they were broken. Now it's different, life is better, the bowl is broken and thrown away, and the previous vat is rarely seen, and it has been replaced by plastic buckets. In the past, people were simple, and it was good to repair things when they were broken. Now people are too impetuous, and if something is broken, they will directly change it.
7. Gelding. 
The gelding is the craftsman of the former pig plougher, the chicken maker, the gelding gelding and the gelding, and the gelding is the one who works with animals. Because there was no market, every household used to raise a pig, and raising chickens, horses, and cattle was essential for farm work. Times are different, and now there are fewer and fewer free-range animals. So such door-to-door geldings are rare.
8. Hoop coopers.
Before the eighties of the last century, wooden basins or wooden retorts or barrels were commonly used in every household.
However, these wooden objects will leak or crack over time, and the hoop of the bucket is also easy to break, so if it is broken, it will be repaired by a cooper. With the popularity of plastic and stainless steel products, these wooden objects are becoming less and less, and the cooper's industry has disappeared.
9. Dyeer. Those who dye clothes. In the past, cotton clothes were easy to fade, and clothes that faded were ugly. The clothes were worn out after a long time, so it was very common to dye clothes at that time, and there used to be dyers who specialized in dyeing clothes at home, but now there are no craftsmen who come to dye clothes.
10. Wear toothbrush craftsmen.
The earliest toothbrush manufacturing has a history of more than 1,000 years - the toothbrush maker who walked the streets. There is an industry that I have seen, and it disappeared relatively early, that is, wearing toothbrushes, and I often heard the call to walk through the streets and alleys as a child. As soon as plastic (nylon) toothbrushes came to market, the industry disappeared immediately.
11. Twisting your face.
"Noodles" is an ancient way of beauty in the folk! Before the bride gets married, she will find a face twisting master to make a face twist. The traditional craft of twisting the face is very popular in our country. When I was a child, I often saw grandmothers twisting their faces with thread for girls who were about to get married, but instead of using incense powder, they first smeared some finely sieved ashes on their faces. My wife and I were married in the sixties and seventies. At that time, she opened her face before she got married, and her face was white and tender. The face is smooth and white, and it is very good-looking.
12. Coversmith.
Before the fifties of the last century, many rural houses were mostly straw houses, and the roofs were generally made of straw or wheat straw. If the roof made of grass leaks and rots after a long time, it will be rebuilt. Today's rural houses are all brick houses, with clay tiles, resin tiles, and color steel tiles as roofs. There is no longer a need for a coverer.
13. a nail scale.
Nailing scales is what we often call scale makers. As the saying goes: although the scale is small, it weighs thousands of pounds! Although a small scale, it can be balanced with something weighing a thousand catties. To achieve fairness and justice in trading, in addition to the integrity of the business, the most important thing is the criterion of "calculating and investigating" of the rod and scale of the scale.
There are more than 100 ancient rod scale production processes, the production process is cumbersome, and the production is difficult, and the hand rod scale that has been inherited for 2000 years is disappearing. Electronic scales are easy to read and efficient, and this kind of bar scale is being replaced by electronic scales.
The times have developed, the old industries have been eliminated one by one, and the old crafts have been lost one by one. What other unusual craftsmen do you know?
