Wooden boats were an important tool for people in ancient water towns to live, travel and work. In the long-term practice process, a unique wooden boat manufacturing technique was formed, which has been passed down to this day. This technique is complex and has many processes. The wooden boats made are simple and elegant, light and flexible, strong and durable. With the development of history, the use of wooden boats has gradually expanded from agriculture, ferrying, inland and coastal fishing to transportation, commerce, mail and other fields. Zhuhong Town, Xinghua City, Jiangsu Province is a typical water town with rivers, lakes and harbors. Wooden boats have become an important tool for people's daily life. Zhuhong wooden boats are made of strong and tough old fir wood as the main raw material, and iron nails, hemp, lime, tung oil and other auxiliary materials. The entire production process includes more than ten processes such as material selection, material preparation, material cutting, ingredient matching, board breaking, board division, board splicing, boat throwing, hemp beating, oil tanker, etc. Each link is manually operated, with complex technology and high difficulty. The wooden boats made have shallow draft, large buoyancy and high load capacity. In the late 1980s, more than 270 households in Zhuhong Town were engaged in wooden boat manufacturing, and more than 10,000 wooden boats were produced throughout the year. At present, the wooden boat manufacturing in Zhuhong has shown a trend of decline. There are less than 70 workers in the town who are professionally engaged in wooden boat production, and the annual output of various small wooden boats has also decreased to about 4,000. Putuo District, Zhoushan City faces the East China Sea and has developed fishery production. For thousands of years, Putuo Island has produced countless skilled craftsmen who repair and build ships, and the Cen's Wooden Boat Workshop is one of them. The number and variety of wooden sailing boats built by the Cen family are considerable, mainly including antique large wooden sailing boats, fishing boats, antique boats and other series. Its production process mainly includes 16 links such as design, lofting, placing dragon tendons, and making and matching bottom shells. The tools used in shipbuilding, such as dragon saws, seam saws, long and short hammers, etc., are very unique. In addition to fast sailing speed and good safety performance, the sailing boats built by the Cen's Wooden Boat Workshop also have high artistic value. Its beautiful shape and exquisite decoration often leave a deep impression on people. As the times change, steel fishing boats are becoming more and more popular. Under this situation, traditional wooden boat workshops are shrinking, and the wooden boat manufacturing technology is gradually lost. It has become a top priority to inherit, protect and further develop the wooden boat manufacturing technology.
