Inheritance of dragon boat making skills

I'm afraid there is no successor to the dragon boat.

According to "Chaoshan Encyclopedia", "the dragon boat in Chaoshan area is represented by Jieyang." However, the Yangcheng Evening News reporter learned in an interview with Wang Tan Village, Xichang, Jiedong, a well-known hometown of dragon boat making in Jieyang City, that Wang Weijun, a descendant of the "Dragon Boat Family" in this village, has been sealing the axe for many years since 2008. Although he was invited by his neighbors to open an axe to build a ship again, with the increase of age, the younger generation no longer took paddles, and the dragon boat manufacturing skills could not escape the embarrassment of "no successor".

Dragon boat successor

Dragon Boat Master Huo Zhuoxing:

It is an act, but also a spirit. Starting from this issue, the edition of Face Spectrum will focus on such a group of people, who are either craftsmen, people who help the world, or financial talents ... they have inherited their father's career and the essence of the industry. Keep a lonely, leave a gorgeous.

Business card:

Huo Zhuoxing, 196 1 was born in nave, Dongguan, and 14 years old began to learn to make dragon boat wooden boats. For decades, he has made more than 300 dragon boats by hand, which is quite famous in the industry. I usually use my own dragon boat workshop to carry out activities, teach dragon boat making skills to enthusiasts and inherit the tradition.

Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival every year, the drums and gongs of various river networks in the Pearl River Delta gradually rise, and the dragon boat race is in full swing. The Pearl River in Guangzhou is full of colorful boats, which is very lively. The prosperity of the dragon boat race has made many towns and villages in Guangdong form dragon boat workshops handed down from generation to generation, and trained many skilled shipbuilders, among whom Huo Zhuoxing is one.

Dragon boat family should "close the mountain"

According to the legend of Jieyang shipbuilding family for five generations, the youngest member of Chaozhou Anbu shipbuilding team, which is about to close the mountain, is also close to the flower. Modern young people like to row dragon boats, but they think shipbuilding is a chore. Yesterday, the longest-lived dragon boat "Yanbu Laolong" in the Pearl River Delta officially set sail, which also marked the official opening of the dragon boat season. It is a beautiful dragon boat, and behind it, many parties need to work together, the most important of which is the craftsmen who make dragon boats. In Chaoshan area, dragon boat racing can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty at the earliest, and the craftsmen who made dragon boats mainly worked in two places-Xichang in Jieyang City and Anbu Town in Chaozhou City.
