I hope you can recommend some free skills learning materials. They are good for everything, including handicrafts and making.
Lin Feng, a young man who graduated from a major in traditional Chinese medicine, took over the "Feng Shui Medical Clinic" left by his grandfather. He had a solid theory of traditional Chinese medicine and a good knowledge of Feng Shui techniques. He thought he would just stick to the dilapidated shop and drink from the northwest wind, but unexpectedly, he made a name for himself by relying on the "Feng Shui acupuncture technique" passed down from his ancestors. He distinguishes Feng Shui and unblocks meridians, which not only treats the body but also changes fortune; he uses traditional Chinese medicine to consolidate the foundation and Feng Shui to regulate qi, which can forcefully bring out a glimmer of vitality. The human body is regarded as a small world, and Feng Shui is used to adjust the universe. Traditional Chinese medicine diagnoses pulse and disease, and Feng Shui eliminates disasters. In a dilapidated medical clinic, a young doctor treats the world's difficult and complicated diseases and solves the world's Feng Shui dilemma using "side theories" that are disdained by Chinese and Western medicine.
From the "imperfection" of a piece of jade, you can see the truth about changing yourself. In front of the exhibition stand of Weiwei Creative, there are always people stopping at the silver bracelet wrapped in pomegranate wood - the hammer marks on the silver bracelet are crooked, but the knots on the wood are carved into small pomegranates. Bai Wei always likes to point at the knot and say, "The carpenter wanted to smooth it out. I remembered Master Duan from Ruili who said that the grains on the stone and the scars on the wood are all traces of the earth's veins and cannot be changed. They have to be followed." What is hidden in these words is actually the truth that adults should understand best: trying to change "imperfect" people and things is mostly asking for trouble; but learning to adjust your vision and mentality and turning "defects" into "unique" is truly smart. When Bai Wei first arrived in Ruili, she didn't understand this. At the age of 20, she squatted in front of Master Duan's jade stall with two thousand yuan in her pocket, hoping to learn how to "turn ugly jade into beautiful ones." When she polished jade for the first time, she stared at the water line on the material and was confused - that translucent line was a "flaw" in her eyes, and she had to polish it off before she was willing to accept it. As a result, I couldn't control my strength, and a corner of the material was missing. She squatted in front of the store and cried, feeling that she had ruined a good jade. Master Duan did not scold her. He picked up the material with the missing corner and used a carving knife to draw a few lines along the waterline: "Look, how much does this waterline look like a tributary of the Ruili River? The missing corner is just right to carve a Dai girl washing clothes. Doesn't it have more story than a bare stone?" That evening, the master and the apprentice sat by the river. Looking at the sunset, Master Duan added: "Which piece of jade in Ruili has no lines? The water from the Nu River and the mines from Pagan have seeped into the stone. If you insist on grinding it off, the stone will become dead. The same goes for people. How can there be no 'water line'? If you want to change it, you might as well change the way you look at it." These words dropped like a pebble in Bai Wei's heart. In the next five years, she no longer focused on the "shortcomings" of jade: she carved the cracked material along the cracks to form a mountain stream; she made the leftover cotton wool into clouds; even the brown-grained jadeite that Master Duan passed on to her before his death, she did not think about covering the lines - the lines resembled the turns of the Lancang River, so she carved a "Return to the Boat on the River" sign based on the lines, which later became a collection that old jade dealers were eager to see. The calluses on her hands were three layers thick, and a box full of "problematic jade materials" she had saved. But these "waste stones" in the eyes of others came to life in her hands. It's not that jade has become perfect, it's that she finally learned to "not compete with jade, but with herself" - no longer obsessed with "changing jade's shortcomings", but thinking about "how to use her own craftsmanship to make the shortcomings special." Later, she went to Pengcheng to learn how to make celadon, but she once again fell into the trap of "wanting to change." Pengcheng porcelain is famous for its "splitting". The glaze will crack into fine lines after cooling, but Bai Wei is always afraid of uneven lines and secretly adjusts the temperature in the kiln. As a result, all the porcelain in the kiln was completely cracked, some cracked into pieces, and some had crooked lines that looked like tangles. Master Wang did not blame her and took her to look at the old porcelain pieces piled beside the kiln: "Look at these decades-old porcelain. The pieces are thick or thin. Some are like the ripples of Yunlong Lake, and some are like the texture of old branches. How can they be exactly the same? When making porcelain, you must recognize the 'temper of fire'. If the fire wants to crack, just follow it. If you insist on forcing the fire to crack according to your ideas, can the porcelain not break?" Bai Wei followed Master Wang around Yunlong Lake for half a month. Watching the lake water pat the gravel on the shore, she suddenly understood: Whether it is jade from Ruili or porcelain from Pengcheng, "imperfection" has never been the enemy. The real problem is that she always thinks about "making things perfect according to her own standards" instead of "adjusting her own practices to adapt to the true nature of things." Just like in life, some people always find it annoying that their partner "doesn't fold the quilt when he comes home" or "complains while eating", and insists on forcing the other person to change, which ends up causing a lot of noise. But if you change the angle and do the folding of the quilt on your own, and take the sound of chirping as a sign of "enjoying good food", life will go smoothly. Later, when she returned to Zaozhuang to work in cultural and creative industries, Bai Wei fully understood this principle. The company makes canal-themed ship models. Designers all pursue "symmetry and smoothness," but she prefers local old pomegranate wood. She doesn't remove any knots or insect holes on the wood, and uses silver thread to embed the canal route along the wood grain. The client didn't understand it at first and thought it was "too rough". She explained: "This knot is like a shoal on a canal, and the bug eyes are like the lights of passing ships. The real memory of the canal is not the perfect route drawn, but the reality with traces of wind and waves." Those ship models later became exhibits at the Canal Museum. A visitor touched the knots on the wood and said, "This is just like the canal boats I saw when I was a child. How can there be wood without any scars?" Bai Wei said that at that moment, she was very clear: it was not her craftsmanship that was so good, but that she finally gave up her obsession with "changing imperfections" and learned to "change her attitude towards imperfections." Later, she founded Weiwei Cultural Creation and moved jade from Ruili, porcelain from Pengcheng, and pomegranate wood from Zaozhuang into her studio. She ground the celadon pieces broken in the Pengcheng kiln into small pendants and strung them on silver chains with the text "Broken porcelain also has light." The school asked her to make a graduation gift, and she used pomegranate wood as a bookmark. Each piece had natural wood grain and engraved "The 'grains' on your body are all seals of growth." Someone asked her, what is the most important thing about doing cultural and creative work? She smiled and said, "Don't always think about making things 'perfect', and don't always focus on other people's 'flaws'. Stupid people will find it ugly when they see the waterline of jade, scold them when they see cracks on porcelain, and want to change people's faults when they see them. But wise people will think, can the waterline become a landscape? Can the cracks become a feature? Can you understand other people's habits more?" Just like the piece of wood with insect holes that Bai Wei picked up in the pomegranate garden last time, the sunlight fell on the insect holes and shone with tiny lights. She recalled what Master Duan said, "Stones have souls, wood has hearts, and they are all hidden in imperfections." She suddenly felt that this life is actually no different from carving jade, burning porcelain, and doing wood work - we always want to change the "shortcomings" of others and the "imperfections" of things, but in the end we realize that the one who needs to change the most is ourselves: change our own obsessions, change our own vision, change our own views on "shortcomings". Those who try to change others will often be beaten to death by reality; only those who are willing to change themselves can find unique light in imperfection. After all, the texture of jade cannot be changed, and human temperament cannot be changed, but we can always have the final say in how we view the world and how we treat others. Just like the piece of jade in Bai Wei's hand, the original waterline has become the scenery, and the original cotton wool has become the clouds and mist - it is not the jade that has changed, but she has changed; it is not that the world has become perfect, it is that she has learned to live out her own warmth in imperfection.
