Biographies of Country Craftsmen
by Chu Yun
About This Novel
The novel uses an elegant and simple style to describe the folk artists who once walked through the alleys or were active in the countryside: storytellers, knife sharpeners, tinkers, blacksmiths, gardeners, bamboo fence workers, potters, stonemasons, bowl makers, carpenters, tailors, stokers, barbers, bucket guys, oil squeezers... These old trades in the folk memory of Jingchu were once so vivid and practical. Their exquisite craftsmanship not only shows the inevitability of the existence of this industry, but also demonstrates the essence and glory of this industry, and has a unique and strong imprint of Jingchu rural culture. These disappearing symbols of agricultural civilization are disappearing as more and more old craftsmen leave. Those glorious times belonging to craftsmen have become the most beautiful stories and memories in people's minds.
