These objects not only record history, but also reflect the changes of the times, see how many can you recognize? If you can recognize more than five, it means that you really aren't young anymore.
The brainchild of old-fashioned housewares
In the last century, many supplies contain the wisdom and hard work of the working people, let's talk about kerosene lamps first, in the era when electricity was not yet popularized, kerosene lamps were almost a necessity for every household.
Every night, it becomes the protagonist of the family, and although the faint light is not bright, it illuminates the warm moments of countless families.
At that time, children often gathered around the kerosene lamps to do their homework, and adults were sewing and mending beside them, these warm images can only be found in memory today.
Whenever the sewing machine is mentioned, many people think of the skilled craftsmanship of their mother or grandmother, and the sewing machine is not only a practical tool in the family, but also an important symbol of the quality of the family.
Hand-sewn clothes are not only durable, but also carry the love and hard work of the family, remember that time.
The sewing machine at home always makes a "da-da-da" sound, which is like a melody, recording the daily life and memories of the family.
The key to the clock is also a typical old object, in the old family, the clock was not only a timekeeping tool, but also a symbol of stability and harmony in the home.
Every once in a while, the clock needs to be wound with the key of Shangxuan, a tedious process that allows the family to feel a sense of ritual and responsibility.
Just as the passage of time requires us to guard and cherish with our hearts, as for the wooden sprayer, it is one of the common farm tools in the farm.
It is used to spray pesticides on crops and plays an important role in agricultural production, and the wooden sprayer is designed to be simple but efficient.
It embodies the ingenuity of the working people and the full use of natural resources, with the development of science and technology.
These traditional tools are gradually being replaced by modern equipment, but the kind of diligence and wisdom they represent is always worth remembering.
Through these old objects, we not only see the way of life in the past, but also feel the simplicity and authenticity.
These objects carry the memories and emotions of a generation, they are not only tools, but also witnesses and inheritors of history.
By looking back on these objects, we can better understand and cherish our current life, and gain the courage and motivation to move forward.
Entertainment and learning tools for those years
In the memory of the older generation, entertainment and learning tools occupy an important place. First, let's talk about black-and-white television sets.
In the eighties, black-and-white televisions were the center of family entertainment, and I remember when I was a kid, the neighbors would gather in the house of the only person who owned the television.
Watching classics like "Garrison's Expendables" and "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic", the TV is more than just a simple electronic device.
It is also a cultural center of the community, connecting the emotions and stories of each family, and the slate and hero brand fountain pens are indispensable learning tools for the older generation in their school days.
The combination of slate and pen allowed the children at that time to write repeatedly, saving paper, and under the dim kerosene lamp, the children carefully wrote and did problems on the slate.
That thirst for knowledge is touching, and the Hero fountain pen is a treasure in the hearts of many people.
A fountain pen filled with ink is not only a tool for learning, but also a companion for childhood. Every time I wrote with a fountain pen, I was always careful not to leak ink, and the children of that era learned to be careful and responsible.
In addition, the ostrich pen water was also a cherished item of students in the 80s, and the newly opened bottle of ostrich pure blue ink exudes a unique aroma that always makes people can't help but smell it a few more times.
This love for ink reflects the enthusiasm and dedication of children to learning in that era, every time they write.
The moment the ink flows on the paper, it seems to take away all the troubles and immerse people in the ocean of knowledge.
Of course, there are also some nostalgic old objects, such as Tiger pens and pastels, which also carry countless memories.
Tiger fountain pens are known for their durability and smoothness, and many students love them, while colored chalk is a great helper for teachers in the classroom.
It is used to draw pictures, write, and vividly present the teaching content. Whenever I see these objects, I will always have a warm current in my heart, as if I have returned to that innocent era.
The careful writing on the slate, as well as the dots of ink on the Hero pen, are deeply engraved in our memories and become eternal classics.
Unique memories of rural life
In the memory of the countryside, there are many unique tools and objects, which not only bear witness to the hardships of agricultural life, but also embody the wisdom of working people.
The first thing to mention is the Demoiselle Hat. Cloth and hat are essential tools for farmers to work in the wind and rain, and the cloth is woven from palmetto grass or brown silk, and the hat is woven from bamboo or reed.
These natural materials are economical and practical, and when it rains, farmers wearing robes and hats can still work in the fields.
Fully embodying their undaunted and persevering perseverance, the willow beat is another tool unique to the countryside.
When drying the quilt, it is a daily activity to beat the dust on the bedding with a willow paddle, which is not only lightweight, but also has good toughness, which can effectively remove the dust without damaging the bedding.
This simple and practical tool reflects the attention and wisdom of rural people to the details of life, remembering when I was a child, every season to dry quilts.
In the yard of every house, you can always see the busy figure of adults holding willow paddles, and the sound of slapping is accompanied by laughter, which has become a unique scenery in rural life.
Let's talk about the baby and the table of eight immortals. The baby is a tool used for weaving, and the name of the baby is balazi, which is used for the hinge when weaving.
The Eight Immortals Table is an ancient piece of furniture that can seat two people on each side, for a total of eight people, hence the name, the Eight Immortals Table is not only strong and durable, but also has high artistic value.
Whenever an important guest visits, the Eight Immortals Table is moved out for the banquet, and these objects are not only practical tools.
It is also an important symbol of rural culture, reflecting the exquisite traditional handicrafts and people's pursuit of a better life.
In addition, the wells were also an important part of rural life, and in those days when there was no running water, the wells were the main source of water for people's daily life.
I remember the only old well in the village, every morning, the villagers would line up to fetch water, and the well was always lively.
Not only did it provide convenience in life, but it also became an important place for villagers to exchange emotions over time.
Pressurized water wells gradually replaced the reel wells, but the deep friendship for the old wells has always remained in people's hearts.
Of course, there are many memorable objects in rural life, such as the wooden sprayer, an old-fashioned agricultural tool used to spray pesticides on crops, with a simple but highly efficient design.
In this fast-paced modern society, we should stop and look back on the past to gain the strength to move forward.
Pre-industrial everyday items
With the acceleration of industrialization, many old objects that once played an important role in daily life are gradually being replaced by modern products.
However, the memories and emotions carried by these old objects are always nostalgic. The first thing to mention is the kerosene stove.
In the sixties and seventies, kerosene stoves were the main tool for cooking in many homes, and kerosene stoves were not only convenient and fast, but also economical and practical.
The heartwarming scene of young housewives cooking a delicious meal on a kerosene stove and sharing it with each other is still evocative today.
Matches were also an important everyday item of the era, and before the popularity of lighters, matches were an essential tool to light everything.
Whether it's lighting a kerosene stove or a candle, matches play an important role, and I remember when I was a kid whenever I saw my parents carefully polishing matches.
There is always an inexplicable sense of security in my heart. Although the match has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, its tiny flame has illuminated countless cold nights.
In agricultural production, the diamond rotor and the wooden sprayer are indispensable tools, the diamond rotor is a tool that uses rope and wooden poles as power, and is often used to repair the cylinder and repair porcelain.
The shouts of the fillers and their skillful skills have become a part of many people's childhood. Wooden sprayers are used to spray pesticides on crops to help farmers improve labor efficiency.
Although these tools are simple in design, they reflect the wisdom and creativity of working people.
The Eight Immortals Table is an indispensable piece of furniture in traditional homes, and it plays an important role in both daily dining and entertaining.
It is not only strong and durable, but also has a high artistic value. Whenever an important guest arrives, the Eight Immortals Table is moved to the main hall and filled with sumptuous dishes.
Just like the aroma of food wafting from the kerosene stove, and the sumptuous dishes on the table full of eight immortals, they are all deeply engraved in our memories and become eternal classics.
epilogue
These old-fashioned objects are not only witnesses of history, but also the crystallization of the wisdom of working people. They carry the memory of an era and reflect the development and changes of society.
Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, we should cherish these cultural heritages and remember those years full of struggle and innovation.
Let's draw strength from these old objects and face the challenges of the future with a more positive attitude.
