The craftsmanship of making wooden beam scales has a long history and exquisite craftsmanship. They are very popular among the masses because they are easy to use and carry. Wooden beam scales can be divided into two types: hook scales and pan scales. The hook scales are commonly used by the people. The hook scales are composed of a scale bar, a scale hook, a lifting knob, a scale weight, etc. According to the weighing capacity, they are divided into three types: large scale, medium scale, and small scale. The craftsmanship of wooden beam scales is complex and exquisite, and can be roughly divided into processes such as material selection, planing, calibration, and coloring. The materials selected are mostly high-quality hardwoods with hard texture, no bending in the sun, no mildew in water, and strong and heavy. The selected wood is pulled apart with a large saw, cut into boards, and the approximate shape of the scale bar is cut out, then planed, and the rod head and rod tip are covered with copper or aluminum sheets, and the wooden beam scale appears in its prototype. Calibration is the key process in making wooden beam scales. According to the principle of leverage, the balance is found, the sight is determined, the weight scale is marked, and the weight is checked. Finally, it is colored or waxed to set off the silver-white star eyes, which can be regarded as a beautiful handicraft. This ancient traditional craft has been passed down in Anqiu and Shouguang. At present, the Anqiu Sheng family wooden beam scale making technique has been included in the provincial intangible cultural heritage representative list, and the wooden beam scale making technique of Hexi Village in Shouguang is an intangible cultural heritage list item of our city.
