In a world where modern conveniences and technology dominate our lives, it is refreshing to see traditions and craftsmanship preserved and celebrated. The recent video by Dianxi Xiaoge, titled “The most traditional rural wooden houses can be erected without using a single nail”, showcases the incredible skill and dedication of the craftsmen involved in erecting a traditional wing room for Uncle Ping.
It is heartwarming to see the meticulous process of fixing the wood and erecting the house, a process that took almost half a year to complete. The connection to the past is palpable, as the master who worked on Uncle Ping’s wing room is the same person who erected the main house 37 years ago. This continuity and respect for tradition are truly inspiring.
In an age where labor forces are leaving villages in search of work elsewhere, it is reassuring to see the use of modern machinery like cranes alongside traditional ceremonies and practices. The blending of old and new, of past and present, creates a sense of harmony and balance that is deeply moving.
As a Chinese cook, I am reminded of the importance of preserving our heritage and passing down traditions to future generations. Just like the traditional methods used to erect the wing room, cooking and preparing food can also be a way to connect with our roots and honor the customs of our ancestors.
I encourage you to watch the video by Dianxi Xiaoge and appreciate the beauty and skill involved in erecting a traditional wooden house without using a single nail. Let it inspire you to cherish and celebrate your own cultural traditions, whether through cooking, craftsmanship, or any other form of artistry. Embrace the past while looking towards the future, and may you find joy and fulfillment in every aspect of your life.
