Inheritance significance of forging skills of Husha knife of Achang nationality

Among all cutter families, Husha Knife is famous for its exquisite craftsmanship. During the First World War, the British army once formed the Jingpo Army in Myanmar, and each soldier was equipped with a special style of combat knives called "Goleka". In the battle with Napoleon's army, Husa Dao has repeatedly made great achievements. This Dao was made by a famous Husa Achang teacher. 1990, the famous Hu Sha knife maker forged the "Kowloon" command knife symbolizing the national takeoff with his unique craft, which was used as the command knife of the honor guards of the three armed forces of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Production tools, household appliances and decorative arts and crafts are three categories, and 120 kinds of household knives are developed. Hu Sha Dao is not only regarded as a treasure by this nation because of its exquisite craftsmanship, but also deeply loved by Han, Dai, Jingpo, Yi, Tibetan, Bai and other ethnic groups nearby. Achang Dao has gone out of Yunnan and is not only sold to Beijing, Tibet, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Gansu and Inner Mongolia, but also exported to Myanmar, Thailand, India and other countries.

However, under the pressure of foreign culture and social and economic transformation, the traditional skills and equipment of Husha Island have been replaced by modern machinery and raw materials. In addition, the old artists are old and lack of successors, so the Achang people's Husha Dao skills are in danger of being lost and need urgent rescue and protection.
