64.As the old saying goes, "The characteristics of a person owe much to where he lives" For China, an agricultural country supported by the agriculture and handcrafts in the history, is nowadays permeated with traditional lifestyles originated from the natural environment in a farming society. As the outcome of people's life and customs, an enormous variety of traditional handcrafts are anchored among the folk. Characterized by cultural features different from other civilizations, such practical, simple and warmhearted arts have always demonstrated China's economical and spiritual life of its long history. Court crafts serving rich and powerful ones, scholar-bureaucrat crafts highlighting the fun of literati, folk crafts spilling local flavor, all originate from daily needs in certain natural conditions, act as important carriers of Chinese civilization, and contain the wisdom accumulated during production and life.
