Craftsman makes scissors in traditional way
Yu Songtao polishes a pair of scissors in village under Dingjiaqiao town of Jingxian county, East China's Anhui province, Nov 17, 2016. Yu Songtao, the inheritor of the technique of scissors production in Houshan village, has been making scissors for 35 years since he was 15 years old. There are over 80 procedures in making a pair of scissors. Yu can only make a dozen of them every day because of the complicated crafts. He wishes that more people will learn about the technique so that this intangible cultural heritage will be carried on. [Photo/Xinhua] |
