As for why provincial museums also have many similar pottery, it is because although pottery has low economic value, it has extremely high archaeological value. Most of the pottery stored in the museums are sealed mud, Qin and Han tiles, Northern Wei and Han dynasties, exquisitely painted pottery and pottery that can represent a certain value in a certain period and place, such as firing pottery pots from different periods such as Neolithic Age, Longshan culture, Yangshao culture, Liangzhu culture, Shixia culture, etc.
After hearing Chen Dong's words, the villagers all understood that things are not as valuable as they are in the age of time. They also depend on the rarity of the items, the value they contain, as well as the cultural and craftsmanship value they contain.
Otherwise, this Han Dynasty green-glazed animal pottery was exquisite, with large shapes and good quality. It was covered with green glaze and animal patterns, which had certain artistic value, otherwise it would only be worth dozens or hundreds of dollars.
Seeing the treasures one by one by Chen Dong, the prices ranged from thousands to tens of thousands. The villagers who had not been identified were holding their treasures, they were very excited and wished that the next identification would be their turn. As long as they had something valuable in their hands, they would be overwhelmed.
Unfortunately, no treasure was identified next. At most, the villagers had some copper coins at home and had collected several sets of Five Emperors coins. They found some small flat, broad-edged and large-range styles, and the back star and moon pattern were worth dozens or hundreds of copper coins, so they would not disappoint the villagers.
At the table, a villager shook his head disappointedly, held a vase in his hand, and turned around and left.
An old man walked over with a bamboo basket in his hand.
"Although this bamboo basket looks a bit old, it is not an antique or a bronze coin. Can it be valuable?" a villager said curiously.
"A chair for Uncle Song can be worth 3,000 yuan for decades, what's so strange about this?" Another villager smiled and said.
"Uncle Lin, please sit down."
Uncle Lin put the bamboo basket on the table and sat down.
Chen Dong picked up the bamboo basket, looked carefully, then looked up and said to Mr. Lin, "The bamboo basket is very exquisitely crafted, looks very old, and the patina is bright red. You can tell at a glance that it has been a few years. Did you make this bamboo basket yourself? It has been decades."
Uncle Lin nodded, "Yes, I made it myself, and it has been the fourth generation of ancestral craftsmanship. I make a living by relying on this craftsmanship. I made bamboo baskets, bamboo chairs, fish and other bamboo products. Because of their workmanship and durability, many people in the town bought my bamboo products now. Now, machine processing has replaced hand-knitted. The price of bamboo products made by machine processing is almost no different from that of hand-knitted. The colors and styles are fine, but no one bought them. I think our thing is rough and I will no longer do it. This hand-knitted craftsmanship can't be passed on in my generation." He was a little sad and sighed, and there was no way to say that the loneliness in his eyes.
Chen Dong nodded with some sympathy.
In fact, it is not just Mr. Lin who is facing the dilemma and embarrassment of inheritance and the market. With the impact of industrialization and the loneliness of traditional handicrafts, more and more folk handicrafts are gradually disappearing, such as Shaanxi ancient papermaking, Lanzhou water hookah, Xiaoshan Wanli silk, etc. Some traditional skills have gradually withdrawn from the people's lifestyles without even being well-known to modern people. The exquisite traditional craftsmanship is lacking in succession.
"Is this bamboo basket worth a little money? It costs dozens of dollars or more than one hundred dollars." Mr. Lin asked.
"Uncle Lin, to be honest, the materials used in this bamboo basket are just ordinary bamboos, and they have almost no collection value. They are not a treasure. But in my opinion, your traditional craftsmanship is a folk treasure. If it can be passed on, it will be the luck of my nation." Chen Dong said.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lin shook his head and sighed, "It's hard, this craft can't make much money, and it's hard, no one wants to learn this craft from me."
Seeing Mr. Lin's lonely appearance, Chen Dong also felt sad for Mr. Lin. No successors were probably the greatest sorrow of craftsmen. Suddenly, Chen Dong thought of the 'one village, one product' shop in the original time and space, so he said to Mr. Song, "Uncle Song, I think I'll think of it. Do you think it's okay? You can pass on your bamboo weaving craftsmanship and make it rich for the villagers."
"Xiaodong, you are a kid with a lot of knowledge, a flexible mind. What do you think? Let me tell me." When Chen Dong heard that he could pass on his bamboo weaving skills and make the whole village rich, Mr. Song smiled.
"That's how I think. It's a pity that our Qingzhu Mountain has such good bamboo resources. It's not a pity not to develop and utilize them."
When many villagers heard Chen Dong say that he planned to develop bamboo resources in Qingzhushan, they were moved.
In the past, the villagers had never thought about using the bamboo resources of Qingzhushan to get rich for everyone, but many problems were not solved, so it was not easy to develop bamboo resources of Qingzhushan.
The reason why such a large area of bamboo resources was left without making good use of them was that generations would rather dig food on a small amount of barren land were the main reasons. First, the village had no money and could not afford the machinery and equipment for producing bamboo products. It was impossible to compete with hand weaving alone. Second, transportation was inconvenient, and the bamboo products produced could not be transported out. Third, there was no channel to sell the bamboo products produced.
"Well said, Xiaodong, do you have any good ideas to tell you about it." Village chief Li Dayuan stood up and said to Chen Dong.
"I think the reason why the village has not made good use of the bamboo resources in Qingzhushan to make everyone rich is due to some reasons such as lack of funds, inconvenient transportation, and the inability to find sales channels." Chen Dong said.
"Yes, Xiaodong, do you have any solutions?" Chen Dayuan asked Chen Dong.
Chen Dong nodded and said, "I will come out if I lack funds, I will repair the road, and I will look for sales channels."
When the villagers heard Chen Dong say he wanted to invest in the road construction, they were shocked first, and then surprised.
This road has troubled more than a dozen generations of Chenjia Village. In addition to the poor land, poor land and no economic crops, the biggest reason is the inconvenience of transportation. The village is in a ravine and remote. It is necessary to pass a mountain road to the outside world. It is steep and steep. Bicycles, motorcycles, and cars must be careful when driving in, for fear that if you accidentally fall into the cliff, a larger tractor and a truck cannot enter at all, and no one is willing to come in. Few people in Chenjia Village go out, and there is not even a decent elementary school. It takes several miles to go to school to go to the next village.
When the Chenjia Village people who were afraid of poverty and fear, they heard that Chen Dong was indescribable to be grateful to Chen Dong. Many old people even shed tears. Everyone understood one thing: as long as the road was open, everyone could live a good life.
