Ten years ago, what was the current situation of the Liaoning boy who spent 12 hours playing embroidery every day without going to college?

If people are not far from interest and absent-minded, they will learn nothing. -Zhang Zai

Chinese culture has lasted for 5, years, not just talking about it. Four or five thousand years ago, China began to raise silkworms and use silk, which was the earliest country in the world. China's embroidery has been going on for thousands of years, which is a perfect fusion of China's skills and culture. Suzhou Embroidery, Guangdong Embroidery, Shu Embroidery and Xiang Embroidery have become the four famous embroideries in China, each of which is divided into many different techniques.

All along, the sewing and mending of housework has been done by mothers, and few fathers can sew, so everyone forms a stereotyped impression that it is shameful for men to sew, but in fact, their skills are regardless of gender. Ten years ago, a 17-year-old boy was on the street with his mother in Liaoning. He saw an old master demonstrating embroidery on the spot. A vivid bird gradually appeared under the old master's hand. The boy was attracted at once and refused to leave after watching it for a long time. The master also let him try it directly on the spot, and personally experienced it. The feeling of sewing was amazing, and he immediately immersed himself in it. Later, his mother dragged him away.

The young man's name is Wang Jianyu, and his child was in high school. Usually at home, he often watches his mother embroider something, but he is never interested. He always thinks it is a girl's job, but after seeing the profound memory of the old master, he can't let go more and more, and asks his parents to learn embroidery. Of course, his parents opposed it. First, he was at school at that time, and his studies were the most important. Second, he did not support boys to learn what girls did. However, Wang Jianyu was very persistent and went to worship the old master as a teacher. He was a Manchu teacher. In order to show his determination, he practiced for twelve hours every day. Sometimes when he was tired, he just lay down and went to sleep. He didn't bother to change his clothes, and his fingers were all hurt. He also enjoyed it.

After becoming more and more proficient, Wang Jianyu began to embroider some works by himself, such as birds, goldfish and lotus flowers. When his family saw that he was really willing to learn and really liked it, they began to support him. He simply stopped going to school and devoted himself to learning embroidery. Later, he went to Jiangsu and Sichuan to learn Su embroidery and Shu embroidery specially, and achieved mastery. Embroidery is a quiet craft, and it can be absorbed in meditation. Wang Jianyu also likes this process of slowly completing a work. Ten years later, Wang Jianyu has grown up. He usually teaches children embroidery. He also accepts orders from others and embroiders some works for others. His hobby has become his own job. Wang Jianyu feels very happy now.

Many of China's traditional skills have been neglected. Without inheritance, the skills gradually disappear. In the past, we didn't have the concept of protecting culture and protecting skills, so many skills slowly disappeared in the long river of history. The loss of skills is the lack of culture. A skill needs decades and hundreds of years of inheritance and improvement to mature. We are now supported by science and technology, but national skills are still an indispensable part of the country and national culture. Just like embroidery, not only women can do it, but also men can do it. Just like some universities now offer knitting courses, many boys knit a small gift for their girlfriends themselves, which will not make people feel very girly, but will make people feel that this boy is warm and ingenious. Times have changed and our eyes have changed.
