The road ahead is still long, but they are full of confidence. They believe that with everyone's joint efforts, the village will have a better tomorrow, and the inheritance and development of traditional culture will be more brilliant.

Chu Mohan watched the cultural atmosphere gradually recover in the village, and became more determined to inherit and develop traditional crafts. After an in-depth discussion with Gu Qianning, he decided to focus on those traditional crafts that were on the verge of being lost, striving to revive these ancient skills and add a strong touch to the village's cultural industry.

One morning, the sun shone softly in every corner of the village. Chu Mohan got up early and began the first step of his journey to explore traditional craftsmanship - visiting the old craftsmen in the village. He first came to the home of the old carpenter Master Li. Master Li's home was a slightly old courtyard, which was full of various woods and carpenter tools.

"Master Li, good morning!" Chu Mohan walked into the yard and greeted politely.

Master Li looked up and saw Chu Mohan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "It turned out to be Mr. Chu. You came so early, what brings you here?"

Chu Mohan smiled slightly, "Master Li, I came here this time to ask you about carpentry skills. Now that our village is developing, I think skills like yours cannot be buried, but must be passed on and carried forward."

After hearing this, Master Li showed a look of relief and emotion on his face. "Alas, Mr. Chu, to be honest, not many people are willing to learn the carpentry craft nowadays. They all think it is hard and tiring, and they can't make much money. But this is the skill passed down by our ancestors. If it is cut off in our generation, I will really be ashamed to face our ancestors. Since you have this intention, I will definitely teach you everything I know."

In this way, Chu Mohan began to learn carpentry from Master Li. From the most basic wood selection and cutting to the complex mortise and tenon structure production, he studied very seriously. Under the careful guidance of Master Li, Chu Mohan gradually mastered the basic skills of carpentry and was able to make some simple furniture and wooden products.

However, Chu Mohan was not satisfied with this. In the process of learning, he kept thinking about how to combine modern design concepts with traditional carpentry craftsmanship to create works that are both practical and artistic. After repeated attempts and improvements, he designed a wooden chair that combines classical style with modern minimalist style. Once this wooden chair was launched, it was loved and appreciated by the villagers.

While learning carpentry, Chu Mohan did not forget other traditional crafts. He heard that there was a woman named Wang who was good at embroidery in the village. Her embroidery skills were exquisite, her needlework was delicate, and her embroidery works were vivid. So he went to visit Wang's house.

"Hello, Granny Wang, I'm Chu Mohan." Chu Mohan stood in front of Granny Wang's house and said softly.

Granny Wang opened the door and saw Chu Mohan. She smiled kindly, "It's Mr. Chu. Come in and sit down."

Chu Mohan walked into the house and saw the exquisite embroidery works hanging on the wall. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Grandma Wang, your embroidery works are so beautiful. I came here this time hoping to learn embroidery skills from you and pass on this craft."

Granny Wang's eyes flashed with surprise and touched. "Mr. Chu, it's rare that you have such a heart, but the craft of embroidery cannot be learned overnight. You must be prepared to endure hardships."

Chu Mohan nodded firmly, "Grandma Wang, don't worry, I will study hard."

In the following days, Chu Mohan learned carpentry from Master Li during the day, and went to Granny Wang's house to learn embroidery at night. Embroidery was a very challenging task for a grown man like Chu Mohan at first. The delicate needle and thread were always out of control in his hands, either pricking his fingers or the embroidered patterns were crooked. However, Chu Mohan did not give up. With his tenacious perseverance and love for traditional crafts, he made progress little by little.

After a period of hard work, Chu Mohan's embroidery skills have greatly improved. He began to try to incorporate some modern elements into traditional embroidery patterns, creating a series of novel and unique embroidery works. These works have both the delicacy and exquisiteness of traditional embroidery and the modern fashion sense and creativity, which are eye-catching.

In addition to carpentry and embroidery, Chu Mohan also developed a keen interest in ceramic production. There is an abandoned kiln factory near the village, which used to be the place where ceramics were fired in the village. Chu Mohan decided to reuse the kiln factory and restore the ceramic production process.

He looked for craftsmen who had worked in the kiln factory and invited them to rebuild the kiln factory together. With the joint efforts of everyone, the kiln factory finally resumed operation. Chu Mohan followed the craftsmen to learn the techniques of throwing, shaping, painting, firing and other ceramics, and he personally participated in every link.

In the process of learning ceramic production technology, Chu Mohan found that although the traditional ceramic production technology is exquisite, the shape and pattern design are relatively simple. In order to innovate, he read a lot of ancient books and materials, studied the ceramic styles and characteristics of different historical periods, and combined with the current people's aesthetic needs and living habits, he designed a series of ceramic products that have both traditional cultural charm and meet the needs of modern life, such as exquisite tea sets, tableware, vases, etc.

Over time, Chu Mohan has achieved remarkable results in the inheritance and development of traditional crafts. His works are not only popular in the village, but also attract merchants from surrounding towns to come and order. In order to further expand the influence of traditional crafts, Chu Mohan decided to hold a traditional craft exhibition.

On the day of the exhibition, the village was bustling with activity. The exhibition hall was filled with a variety of traditional crafts, including exquisite wood-carved furniture, gorgeous embroidery works, unique ceramic products, etc. People came to visit and praised these works.

"These traditional craft works are so beautiful. I didn't expect our traditional culture to be so profound and extensive." A visitor said with emotion.

"Yes, Chu Mohan has really made a huge contribution to the cultural industry of our village." Another visitor echoed.

At the exhibition site, Chu Mohan also set up an experience area for visitors to personally experience the production process of traditional crafts. Many people were eager to try and make their own works under the guidance of the craftsmen.

Through this exhibition, more people have come to understand the charm and value of traditional crafts, and it has also inspired everyone to love and protect traditional culture. Some young people have seen the development prospects of traditional crafts and have expressed their willingness to devote themselves to the study and inheritance of traditional crafts.

Under Chu Mohan's leadership, a wave of learning traditional crafts swept the village. More and more people joined the team to inherit and develop traditional crafts. They learned from each other, communicated with each other, and made progress together. The village's cultural industry has also flourished, bringing considerable economic income to the villagers.

However, Chu Mohan was not satisfied with the existing achievements. He knew that the inheritance and development of traditional crafts was a long and arduous task that required constant innovation and exploration. In order to improve the production level and quality of traditional crafts, he decided to invite some well-known craft masters to the village to give lectures and guidance.

After many contacts and efforts, several craft masters finally accepted Chu Mohan's invitation. They came to the village and brought advanced production concepts and techniques to the villagers, and also shared their own creative experience and insights with the villagers. Under the guidance of the craft masters, the villagers' production level has made a qualitative leap, and their works have become more refined and creative.

At the same time, Chu Mohan also actively cooperated with the outside world to expand the market channels of traditional crafts. He established cooperative relationships with some large shopping malls, hotels, and cultural institutions to promote the village's traditional crafts to a wider market. These works are not only popular in China, but also exported overseas, allowing more people to understand and recognize China's traditional craft culture.

With the continuous development of traditional crafts, the appearance of the village has also undergone tremendous changes. The once dilapidated houses have been converted into quaint craft studios and showrooms, and the streets are lined with various handicraft stalls. Tourists shuttle through them in an endless stream, feeling the unique charm of traditional crafts.
