What traditional crafts are about to be lost?

The lost traditional crafts are: black copper and silver craft, umbrella repairer, steelyard, etc.

The process of extracting silver from black copper is very complicated. It is a unique traditional copper production process in Yunnan. Its general process is to carve patterns on copper and then fill the patterns with molten mercury. Complex craftsmanship requires the skills of many craftsmen. It takes a long time to make a finished product, so fewer and fewer young people are learning the craft of black copper and silver, which will almost disappear.

As for craftsmen who repair mechanical watches, umbrella repairers, hairdressers and weighers, modern people rarely repair broken umbrellas, and buy new ones when the old ones are broken. Electronic watches and battery watches gradually replaced mechanical watches, and electronic scales gradually replaced manual pole scales. So people who made a living from these crafts slowly changed careers, and this craft was slowly lost.

Some crafts are too complicated, and the inheritors of the older generation can't find a young heir who can inherit the craft, which makes that craft gradually lost. Some crafts are just because of the development of the times, people adapt to the fast pace and are unwilling to spend time tinkering with what is broken. Those skilled craftsmen gradually lost their business sources and gradually lost.
