In the long river of Chongqing's urban history, many crafts and craftsmen that appeared in special times have disappeared, some of which can't keep up with the development of the times, and some of them have no practical use. However, some of them have been passed down and even become intangible cultural heritage.

Today, Master Qi will introduce two representative old crafts to you.

The first kind: Liangping bamboo curtain, which has been a tribute since the Song Dynasty.

The production history of Liangping bamboo curtain technology has been thousands of years. According to records, it was listed as a royal tribute in the Northern Song Dynasty, enjoying the reputation of the Quartet and being called "the first curtain in the world". It uses rich local bamboo as raw materials, uses traditional techniques, and combines painting, calligraphy, embroidery, flocking and other forms to make various forms of hanging curtains, screens, decorative paintings and practical handicrafts. It has fine craftsmanship, elegant appearance, unique style and strong local characteristics and national flavor.

"As thin as a cicada, as light as smoke, thousands of shares are always connected. With the skillful hands of the Seven Immortals, you can win the first curtain in the world. " Liangping bamboo curtain is a historical and cultural heritage inherited for thousands of years. It is an extremely exquisite handicraft, which is not only practical, but also an important ornament.

The second Youyang Tujia grapefruit turtle is also an intangible cultural heritage.

At first glance, I think it is a species of soft-shelled turtle, just like Brazilian turtle, slate turtle, yellow-eared turtle and so on. Actually, it's a kindling bag. It's made of grapefruit and looks like a turtle.

What's the ignition bag for? In ancient times, there were no matches, let alone lighters. What is needed is a container for storing kindling. The container for storing kindling is called a kindling bag.

Youyang Tujia people use local materials and make turtle-shaped fire bags with grapefruit, which is called grapefruit turtle. After thousands of years of development, the grapefruit turtle is a witness of history, although it no longer sets fires.

Why did Youyang Tujia people make grapefruit look like a turtle as a fire bag?

King Qi thinks there are three reasons:

Because people at that time, what they could see was not rich.

According to the storage standard, the storage space must be relatively large, which can be loaded and put.

Although it's a storage item, I don't want to get something like a pocket to carry with me. So the clever Youyang Tujia people squeezed out with grapefruit.

The closest animal to grapefruit is tortoise.

Why do you think grapefruit should be shaped like a turtle?
