Master Craftsmen Compete in Skills

What happens when Luban meets Watt?

Luban: "Is your steam engine more 'ingenious' than my wooden kite?"

Watt: "My steam engine made the world move faster. Your wooden kite let imagination fly."

What if Li Bing met Edison?

Li Bing: "My water does the work for itself for two thousand years."

Edison: "My electricity made the night no longer dark."

What if Cai Lun met Tim Berners-Lee?

Cai Lun: "I used bark and rags to make knowledge cheap."

Tim: "I used 0s and 1s to make knowledge free."

This is not imagination.

This is Hundred Crafts Face Off.

An epic in which 24 inventors from East and West cross time and space to clash head-on inside the "Ten-Thousand-Crafts Workshop."

An ultimate debate about what technology is, who it is for, and how much it costs.

Here, there is no standard answer.

Only Luban’s carpenter’s square, Watt’s steam engine, Li Bing’s Dujiangyan irrigation system, Edison’s light bulb, Huang Daopo’s spinning wheel, Ford’s assembly line, Jobs’s iPhone...

When East meets West, when craftsmanship meets ingenuity, when wood meets steel, when water meets electricity—

we finally see:

Technology is not just a tool.

Technology is the hands of civilization.

Technology is what turns the impossible into the possible.

In the end, technology exists to make people happier, freer, and more human.

120 chapters of epic storytelling, 24 inventors, 12 core questions, 1 conversation across a thousand years.

Hundred Crafts Face Off: the hands of civilization, waiting for you to take them.
