Valuable old antiques from the countryside that city kids have never seen

When people recall the countryside, there is always a special feeling attached to it, because this is the foundation, the place where they grew up, and where the purest laughter and joy can be found.

The coin-shaped charms that city people hunt for in antique markets can still be found everywhere in the countryside. They used to be hooks for door curtains, and some children would wear a few around their necks.

The Eight Immortals table is usually placed in the main hall, and it is only used on very formal occasions. Generally, children are not allowed to eat at this table; it is as solemn as its shape suggests.

The spinning wheel is relatively important in the countryside. Not every family has one; only those with a carpenter in the family or someone who knows how to make cloth have one. If a family has this kind of work to do, they must borrow one.

If you want to eat nian gao or glutinous rice cake during the year, you must pound it with a mortar. During the important festivals held once a year, the villagers gather together to pound with the mortar, representing unity. As people born in the countryside, most of us have seen these things, while some city kids have never seen them at all, let alone experience the joy in them!
