Wherever you go in Tunto, there's lantern making.

無論你走到哪裡，到處都是燈籠製作。

程度副詞

And nobody seems to know just how many hundreds of years ago the craft started here.

而且好像沒有人知道這門手藝在這裡究竟開始了幾百年。

But if you're born in this part of Hebei Province, it's all around you.

但如果你出生在河北省的這部分地區，這一切都在你身邊。

When you see others in your family doing it every day, you get the hang of it quickly.

當你看到家人每天都在做的時候，你很快就能學會。

And how old are villagers when they start making lanterns?

Kids can pick it up from around 10 years old.

小孩子大概十歲左右就可以學會了。

Tunto's villagers grow corn and other crops, but

屯頭村的村民們種植玉米和其他作物，但

when they're not in the fields, they're working in the backyard businesses, which churn out a remarkable 80% of this country's lanterns.

當他們不在田裡的時候，他們就在後院生意裡工作，這些後院生意生產了這個國家驚人的 80% 的燈籠。

So with China's own festive season just around the corner, demand is high and they're racing to fill the new year orders.

隨著中國的節日季節即將到來，需求很高，他們正競相完成新年訂單。

We can make lanterns up to 20 meters tall without any problem.

我們可以輕輕鬆鬆製作高達 20 公尺的燈籠。

72 year old Baijunping told us he switched from carpentry to lantern making as a young man because the pay was better.

72 歲的白俊平告訴我們，他年輕時從木工轉行做燈籠製作，因為薪水比較好。

We are known as the Palace Lantern Village.

I asked how they felt about dedicating their lives to this.

我問他們對獻身於這份工作有什麼感覺。

當然，我對我的工作感到很自豪。

Our lanterns can even be shipped overseas.

我們的燈籠甚至可以海外運送。

There are big factories in China making lanterns, but

中國有些大工廠在製作燈籠，但是

we're told that they can't handle a variety of orders with diverse requirements in the same way these villagers can.

聽說他們無法像這些村民一樣處理各種不同需求的訂單。

It is remarkable that in this day and age with high tech production lines and robotics, that these lanterns are still being made by hand in China.

在這個高科技生產線和機器人技術的時代，這些燈籠竟然還是在中國手工製作的，這真是太了不起了。

What's more that these little family run businesses that have been doing the same thing for generation after generation have also been able to somehow maintain such a strong stranglehold on the market.

更何況，這些世代相傳的小家庭經營的後院生意，竟然還能 somehow 保持這麼強大的市場壟斷。

The locals say that these days, some of their children don't want to follow them into this line of work.

當地人說，現在有些年輕一輩不太想接手這份工作了。

And eventually modern production may end up taking over.

最終，現代化的生產可能會取而代之。

But for now, it's this village which supplies China with its lanterns, keeping an important cultural symbol alive.

但目前，這個村莊供應著中國的燈籠，讓重要的文化象徵得以延續。
