00:00Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotpot website.
00:30In the past, it was called Taodu, and now it is called Tandu.
00:35As time goes by, dozens of ceramic factories have been shut down and moved away.
00:40There are only three people left who make red charcoal.
00:44In contrast to the Japanese style, red charcoal has a double-layer heating function.
00:49In the past, it could be seen in many families.
00:52However, after the popularization of gas stoves, the demand for charcoal is not as good as before.
00:56Many young people who grow up in urban areas rarely see its shadow.
01:00This young man followed the traditional craftsmanship of the Damascus well-preserved well,
01:05from the eight hot reporters Chen Kaixuan, Zheng Zhi'an, and Bei Huihan, to Yibao Yikui.
01:13In the area of Pili Yibao Jiangsha Road, which was once known as Taodu,
01:17various ceramic flower pots are on both sides of the street.
01:21Among the large and small flowers,
01:23there is a tall chrysanthemum with smoke rising from it.
01:31Here is a red charcoal stove that is gradually fading from people's sight.
01:35The man in red is the third generation heir of ceramic craftsmanship.
01:54The ancient dragon rock was built from low to high.
01:59From a distance, it looks like a sleeping dragon lying on the ground.
02:06On both sides of the dragon, there is a pair of firewood pits every four feet.
02:10As the fire spread backwards, the Fang family also saw the opportunity
02:14to put firewood in the next pair of firewood pits to make a fire.
02:19As the fire spread and the pipa sounded,
02:21Taodu experienced a fire in the dragon's belly,
02:24and the firewood was about to be lit.
02:27There is still a market for charcoal stoves,
02:29but there is not a lot of it.
02:31It's just that there are seasons.
02:33For example, in Malaya Bazaar, they use it for barbecue.
02:36If there is a baby in an Indian family,
02:39they will buy one to boil hot water for the baby to bathe.
02:42In Hualien, there are a lot of charcoal stoves.
02:48Charcoal stoves are commonly used in the three major ethnic groups of China.
02:50They are made from clay, and the material is simple,
02:53but the production process is not simple at all.
02:56The first step is to press the clay.
03:02The clay is cut into the right size with a steel wire,
03:04and then pressed into an outer and inner furnace with a machine.
03:08When the outer furnace is dry,
03:10Mr. Fang picks up a knife
03:12to make a window for the charcoal stove to control the fire.
03:15He then puts a layer of clay on the inner wall to fix the window.
03:19This is sticky.
03:21This is called good wind.
03:23Don't look at this step. It seems easy.
03:25Once the cutting skill is not at home,
03:27the window is very easy to fall off.
03:29Mr. Fang jokes that
03:30it takes many years of experience to master this skill.
03:33Without a little perseverance and patience,
03:35you can't learn it.
03:37I'm not afraid of learning.
03:38You can't learn it every day or every year.
03:43It's a skill.
03:44It's a skill.
03:45Born in a pottery family,
03:46Mr. Fang has been in contact with charcoal stoves since he was young.
03:49When he grew up, he followed in his father's footsteps
03:52and continued to follow this traditional craft.
03:54When I was young,
03:55my father's brothers worked together.
03:59Later, some of them opened factories
04:04and went to do other jobs.
04:06I took over.
04:08Because here,
04:10we have machines and charcoal stoves.
04:13We also have a little market for charcoal stoves.
04:17It would be a pity to give up.
04:20Because he felt it was a pity to give up,
04:22Mr. Fang decided to pick up the stick to make charcoal stoves.
04:26Watching Mr. Fang carry the machine,
04:28he moved the charcoal stoves one by one to the stove
04:31and dried them at room temperature.
04:33It took him at least a week to dry them outdoors.
04:35It took a lot of energy.
04:37If the weather was bad,
04:40the work would be delayed.
04:42This kind of hard work
04:44made many young people give up.
04:47Mr. Fang said
04:48if they gave up one day,
04:50this traditional craft would be lost.
04:53The charcoal stoves we make
04:55are traditional until now.
04:58There is no advance.
05:0070% of the work is done by machines.
05:0280% is done by hand.
05:03If we don't do it here,
05:05if we move everything,
05:06there will be nothing left.
05:07No one does it outdoors.
05:09Because it's too hard.
05:13After the exposure to the sun,
05:14the charcoal stoves were sent into the furnace.
05:16They were stacked high
05:17and burned for a few hours at a temperature of 700-800 degrees.
05:20While waiting,
05:21Mr. Fang picked up the spray gun
05:23and sprayed bright red on the charcoal stoves
05:25that had cooled down in the morning.
05:27Then, his younger sister, Fang Bao Juan, took over
05:29and spread a layer of yellow clay
05:31at the entrance and bottom of the furnace.
05:33She placed the inner furnace inside the outer furnace
05:35and applied a layer of cement
05:37to seal the top of the furnace.
05:39Wait a minute.
05:40Makeup.
05:41I didn't see the black.
05:43Finally, she put on makeup
05:45and the unique red charcoal stove was born.
05:48Mr. Fang said
05:49in order to let more people know
05:50the traditional craft of charcoal stoves,
05:52he often brings tourists to visit
05:54and experience the process of making charcoal stoves.
05:57This charcoal stove
05:58seems to be in the museum.
06:00Some people went out
06:01and saw that
06:03this charcoal stove was made in Yibao.
06:06It's special.
06:07They came up to take a look at the furnace
06:10and how the charcoal stove was made.
06:12If it's possible,
06:13the furnace
06:14will let everyone know
06:16that the charcoal stove
06:17was made in Yibao, Malaysia.
06:20Jiangsu Tangyuan, Chaozhou Caiguo,
06:22Fagao, and other Chaozhou traditional food
06:24were arranged
06:25Every New Year's Eve
06:26and the 2nd day of the lunar calendar,
06:28the Fang family will pray to the dragon head
06:30in front of the altar.
06:34They pray for a healthy family
06:36and a beautiful charcoal stove.
06:39Every year,
06:40my grandma and I
06:41pray to the dragon head
06:42on the 2nd day of the lunar calendar.
06:44The fire of the dragon head
06:46carries the respect of the Taoist
06:47for the heritage culture of the ancestors.
06:49The fire has been burning for decades
06:51to witness the three generations of the Chao people
06:53working together day and night
06:54to make the first offering.
06:55Although the charcoal stove market
06:56is no longer thriving,
06:58as long as there are people
06:59who live for the charcoal stove,
07:00the heritage spirit of the Jiang people
07:02will continue to enter
07:03the families of each household
07:04to celebrate the holidays
07:05and preserve the traditional
07:07taste of the Tamar people.
