The Contemporary History Of The Traditional Handicraft

With the deep-seated development of social transformation, the connotation of traditional folk culture will change. As a typical product of the local folk culture, it’s significant for us to reveal Wuzhou kiln’s survival situation in contemporary society, and it helps us to understand the Folk Culture’s change in social transformation. We focus on the rising of Wuzhou ceramic industry in Jinhua areas, using the modern folklorists and cross-Perspective of Sociology, to explore the Traditional Handicraft and development of living conditions in contemporary society.We believe that the inevitable decline of the industry in Jinhua is not only due to the backward technology, but the outcome of the developing of Chinese ceramics handicraft market. The decline of regional ceramic culture is because of the plight of the development of local industry which is led by changes in the social environment, but does not represent a decline of ceramic art culture. Traditional crafts and cultural protection’s booming in the 1990s provided an opportunity to rise of the Wuzhou kiln. The contemporary Wuzhou kiln porcelain maker has occupied a new market for Wuzhou kiln in the new social environment. The market of the porcelain gifts gives a survival space for Wuzhou kiln. Needs of local cultural history and cultural construction and Protection of Intangible Cultures consolidate of the social status of Wuzhou kiln. The corresponding social technology has begun to get recovery and heritage. Under the guidance of all forces, the contemporary Wuzhou kiln industry gradually gains a firm foothold. Modern production equipment and gradually replaces the traditional tools of production. The Artistic Style of their products went to further evolution when on the selective predecessors experienced. And it tries to take a secular approach to re-enter people’s daily life. However, people in contemporary society for culture as well as its positioning of traditional handicraft and the production attribute bring cost disadvantage which hinders its process of secularization. But under the efforts of employees, a kind of experience in life, to achieve self-value as the core of a new business model began to appear. After in meeting the social requirement of the state, Wuzhou kiln was given a new spirit and connotations. Finally, the authors suggest that in contemporary culture building, we should adhere to the "cultural consciousness" concept, stressing the importance of their own culture and understand the development trend of the formation process to obtain power for self-development.Cultural consciousness, should not only be the behavior of individual initiative, it should be active cultural behavior of the cultural community. The cultural attitudes that based on the research of their own cultural traditions in contemporary society candid tolerant which is the inner core of our culture at the present stage.
