The Bellows Maker's Coffin

Jiuliangwa Village is located in Yanggao County, Yanbei Prefecture. Tian Jiuye is a celebrity from all over the country and is also a famous bellows maker (that is, the bellows used in ancient times). Anyone who has a family or a wife and a daughter must ask Tian Jiuye to make one. A strong, beautiful and practical wind box. Since he learned this craft, he has made countless wind boxes for the villagers. None of them need to be reworked or repaired. Instead, they accompany them throughout their lives. People also gave him a gift saying "Tian Jiuye's wind box - one tube and two", praising the benefits of Tian Jiuye's wind box and the difference between it and other people's wind boxes. Whenever I hear this sentence, I always smile from ear to ear, "The wind box is a piece of jewelry that everyone needs. It must be made with care to last a lifetime." Later, when electric wires were connected and hair dryers entered farmhouses, people no longer used wooden wind boxes. They put the old wind boxes in warehouses and even used axes to split them for firewood. Later, as the rural economy developed, villagers moved into newly built large tile-roofed houses one after another. Hair dryers, liquefied gas, and natural gas all entered the kitchen, and wind boxes slowly disappeared in the countryside. The wind box occupies an important position in Jiuye's life and life. When educating young people, he would preach a very deep philosophy around the wind box. In his spare time, he would tell a lot of idioms and idioms about the wind box. The wind box became his introduction, his constant companion, his spiritual sustenance, and his only "relative". When he was 99 years old, Master Jiu used the wind box that he had followed for more than fifty years to make a coffin for himself. The wind box is used as a coffin - it's so annoying. What he wants to subvert is such an ancient saying and usher in a brand new world. The destination of the wind box maker is the wind box. Tian Jiuye wrote a philosophy - go there from there, an eternal principle - the immortality of materials into the yellow earth, and completed his life.
