There is a strange custom in the countryside that craftsmen who make long-lived wood do not do it for themselves. Why?

Now there are not many craftsmen who make long-lived wood here. Longevity wood is also a coffin. We have been cremated here, and we don't need a coffin. Generally, there are craftsmen who make coffins in places where burial is carried out. In the past, when long-lived wood was needed, craftsmen did not make it for themselves, but carefully built a good coffin for themselves.

? Of course, there are also age differences. Generally, senior artists who are 60 years old will prepare coffins for themselves. In the words of rural people, it is to build a longevity tree for yourself when you are alive, so that you can feel at ease when you die.

This industry has long been extinct in the northern countryside. In the past, science was underdeveloped, and some geomantic omen was particularly particular, for fear that some mistakes would affect the fate of future generations. Therefore, it is very cautious. It's not like asking other colleagues to do it for you and give your own advice. You can let go of your hands and feet and don't worry. After all, two people's planning is better than one person's.

In fact, this is just a strange feudal superstition. The future development of future generations is determined by acquired efforts, and has nothing to do with the longevity of elders. It's just that the elders hope that the younger generation will have promising expectations and good wishes.

Another reason why carpenters don't make long-lived wood for themselves is industry practice. In the past, each industry had its own rules, and these agreements became conventions, which facilitated the healthy development of various industries and avoided vicious competition. Anyone who violates the rules will not only be looked down upon by future generations, but also his reputation will be tarnished.

Therefore, a noble carpenter will not keep a longevity log for himself.

? It is a good professional ethics for carpenters not to make long-lived wood for themselves. Nowadays, the competition between industries and occupations is fierce. In order to avoid vicious competition and make the industry develop healthily, we should carry forward the carpenter spirit.
