Warm Craftsmanship: Inheritance from Generation to Generation of Chinese Handicraftsmen

In this society where people are impetuous and move in a hurry, there is a group of people who live in a small position but remain contented with themselves. They are meticulous and can endure loneliness. They are a group of craftsmen, and they only have clay and wood, pottery and fire, stone and iron with them all day long... Most of them are accustomed to silence, talking to the world with only one hand. The author of this book went deep into the front lines of ancient Chinese architecture and traditional handicrafts, and interviewed more than two dozen ordinary and extraordinary craftsmen. Among them are "ink masters" who are passed down from father to son, as well as new-school clay sculptors who have studied fine arts; there are color painters who adhere to traditional calligraphy, and digital wood carvers who advance both human and technical skills; there are blacksmiths who have dreams of becoming a world leader, and silversmiths who carve happiness for their families; and there is also the chief designer who has big dreams and specializes in ancient architectural communities. It is he who brings together craftsmen from different categories and creates one Guinness world record after another in national architecture. "Warm Craftsmanship" is adapted from the documentary "The Master's Dream". "The Master Craftsman's Dream" has been broadcast on China Educational Television, Hunan Golden Eagle Documentary Channel, Beijing Winter Olympics Documentary (formerly Beijing HD Documentary) and other major platforms, and won the 24th "China's Top Ten Documentaries" award.
