Traditional skills are inherited from generation to generation by the labours，which condense the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people，brand the national beliefs and cultural heritage，contain rich historical and cultural values，and reflect the great creativity. However，with the change of life style and the acceleration of urbanization，the demise of traditional skills is speeding up and the inheritance population is rapidly declining. Therefore，the protection and development of traditional skills is of great urgency. This paper takes Shiyan’s traditional skills as an example to analyze the current situation and development problems of Shiyan’s traditional skills and to explore the protection and development path of traditional skills.
