Handicraft refers to the arts and crafts with unique artistic style produced by manual labor. It is different from the arts and crafts that mass produce standardized daily-use handicrafts by means of large-scale industrial mechanization.
Handicrafts refer to products made purely by hand or with the help of tools. Mechanical tools can be used, provided that the direct manual operation of the technologist is still the main source of finished products.
In the face of the decline of traditional handicrafts, since the 1960s and 1970s, the West has started a wide range of "handicrafts revival movement". Although the revival of handicrafts, as a cultural trend of thought, can not fundamentally change the general trend of social production, it fully affirms the status and role of handicrafts in people's life; At the same time, it inspires people to further think about how to avoid the harm of industrialization to the social and cultural environment.
