"Eating mountains on the mountain, eating the sea by the sea"

As the saying goes, "Eating mountains and eating the sea", which stretches 168.5 kilometers of coastline, has created unique natural conditions for the development of Rizhao Fisheries. Rizhao people have been breeding at the seaside. For thousands of years, this ancient and brilliant Rizhao fishing culture has been created with wisdom and sweat.

Rizhao's fishing culture can be traced back to more than 4,000 years ago. At that time, the ancestors began to survive by marine life. They stepped from the coast to the sea, from offshore to the sea, and Rizhao fishing culture also developed. In the Sunjia Village of Taoyu Town, Rizhao City, Li Village has a history of more than 600 years. The east of the village is the sea. The villagers of generations have rely on the sea to fish for fishing.

"I have built boats with my parents since I was a child. At the beginning, it was a large windshooter. At that time, there were any machines, all of which were windproofs. One of the four big masts on a boat." The model of the large aircraft ship said, "Every structure on the boat has its name. The highest mast is called the general, followed by the second general, the third general, the smallest one is the fourth general, the transfers, the anchor beam ..." Speaking of the Speaking These are like introducing old friends.

"The wooden boat that made a lifetime was at first learned to follow the parents. Later, he became a '“ “. He brought more than 20 apprentices. He was very respected. Eating. "Sun Shuqiu said that the society was developing rapidly, and the steel shell boat replaced the wooden boat, and no one would make a wooden boat. But after being busy for a lifetime, I was idle, and I couldn't stay.

"Be a boat, think about it if you think about it"

"In 2005, watching a few woods, suddenly thinking about making a boat, just playing, thinking about it." Sun Shuqiu said to do it. The boat is in his mind; the tool is also ready. Take a tap ruler to set a long, width, and height, and he has done a cooked way. Selecting, making, polishing, installation, paint, sails ... Sun Shuqiu completely followed the process of large -scale ships, and there was no less.

During the busy, Sun Shuqiu felt when he was back to his youth, when he returned to his father's butt to learn craftsmanship.

More than 20 days later, a prestigious wind boat stood on the eight immortal table at home. Mu Fan was drumming, and the boat was bright and bright. Sun Shuqiu watched, his heart was full of joy and pride. Relatives and friends who come and go, they also like it. The brothers talk about the days of the volleyball and the sea in the early years, the days of going to the sea, the past and the past ...

Sun Shuqiu showed a 1.2 -meter large aircraft. The ship used for a full month and made it completely according to the production process of the real ship. He reduced the size and arc of each component according to the proportion, It is pure handmade, the warehouse can be opened, the rudder can rotate, and the pulley can be pulled. In his opinion, whether it is a large ship or a model, this is a boat that needs to be taken seriously.

"No one is missing. If you do something wrong, you want to be joked." Sun Shuqiu said with a smile that someone came to buy his boat before. The large aircraft is exactly the same.

One day, his son said to him that someone wanted the wooden boat he wanted to do — it was easy to do, he continued! This boat has always been in his mind!

Draw the boat in your head to the picture, add a few small ruler, and look for small planes and carved knives of different sizes. The smallest plane, such as the scoop of the elementary school student; open the toolbox, the knife is not only the size of the knife, and there are dozens of large and small; large wooden saws and small wooden saws are still not enough. To solve large wood, you still have to use electric fine wood, or you have to use electric fine wood. saw……

With the rise of Rizhao City Seafang Tourism, Sun Shuqiu's small wooden boat as a crafts, ascended to Dada Hall. "Over the years, we have come to make it all over the country. The farthest ones are Xinjiang. They recognize me and recognize the ship I made.

As a result, more people take the opportunity to learn more about Rizhao's fishing culture and understand the traditional craftsmanship of wooden boats.

"As long as I can move, I will continue to do it"

Creating a small boat is a hard work and a "hard work". The production of the boat must not only go through the strict materials selection, blisters, sculpture, and paint paint, but also the processing process is time -consuming and laborious, and strict requirements on woodworking technology. Sun Shuqiu introduced that it takes more than 20 days to complete a 1.2 -meter boat. "I am only 74 years old this year. As long as I can move, I will keep doing it all the time."

It is precisely because of the obsession in Sun Shuqiu's heart that in 2011, the traditional boat production skills were selected as the Intangible Cultural Heritage List of Rizhao City. In the same year, Sun Shuqiu became the city -level inheritor of this non -heritage project.In 2013, the project was successfully selected into the provincial intangible cultural heritage list.In March 2022, the "Shandong Hand -made · Preferred Rizhao" boutique project was successfully selected.Over the years, Sun Shuqiu also showed a little worry: Now that he is only one of him as a boat, but he is also old, and his craftsmanship may be risky."The benefits of making a boat are slow, the economic benefits are not high, and young people are unwilling to do it. Another one, this craft is difficult, many people lack patience and are easy to waste halfway." Sun Shuqiu sighed and said slightly.

"The old ancestors must not forget, but still have to be passed on." Sun Shuqiu said, now every summer, he will go to elementary school summer camp to teach students to be a boat.He sincerely hopes that more young people will pay attention to, inherit, and protect this traditional skill, so that it can continue.(Reporter Ma Xiuping)
