      From Lil Giant Would have been nice to say why he built it and how long it took to do so. Could just be a short silent line on the video. Man builds bridge for . . . and it only took . . . weeks!
      I remember a parable about an old man who came across a wide stream one night. The old man was able to ford the stream, but when he had done so he stopped, and began to build a bridge over it. Later, when he was finished, those who saw what he had done asked why he had done so. It was not his river or his land, but a public byway. He had already crossed and did not need the bridge. The old man answered something to the effect that, “While traveling I saw a youth, who is traveling my way, yet is far behind me. He may, being young and inexperienced, make a slip in the darkness or find the way too long and difficult. I build a bridge for him. I build a bridge for those who come after.”

      For this assembly to hold at that moment without any sort of mortise or "slot lines", he either had to use some kind of rope, or nails, or glue... nails it was. Nothing wrong about it, and nothing diminishing his skills, but hey, I have the impression that many people actually overate his skills. He obviously wasn't taught with the utmost precision as we tend to do in the west, just with the right enough precision where it does makes most sense, in a highly functionnal and efficient way.

Each morning I was woken up by the sound of him working on the woods and also the birds' songs. And in summer all the rice fields in front of our house would turn to different shades of green and it was so beautiful. I really miss those days in the countryside.

      Most Chinese farmers are moving to live in urban areas now. But it would be sad if this art is not passed down to the future generations.

      Ah, yes, I adamantly agree with you all concerning this skill being passed on. As I have attend arts and crafts shows most of the booths are attended by what would appear to me to be a senior person, so, in order to perpetuate the skill I have asked some if they are training a young person? And sometimes that young person is assisting in the attendance of the booth, so, they are not only learning the skill but also the business side.

      @Aconite sucks, should be guilds to ensure the true skilled craftsman get paid. Same reason why grocery store bread is the norm not the exception.

      It's known in Japan as Joinery. Not sure if the Chinese has any stark difference but the art itself is surviving ok. Definitely not as well as it should but there are a lot of enthusiasts around the world who learn and use it.

    The craftmanship was developed and inherited over hundreds or even thousands years. It aim to complete complicated projects with minimal resources, simplist tools/process and maximum efficiency. Real Art!

      @Dingleberry jeff of course. I just love the simplicity of the tools he's using. American's bitch if the tool is the wrong color. This dude is using a hatchet that's probably 30 years old to cut and hammer. It's a good change of pace.
