The sheepskin raft(羊皮筏子) is about 2,000 years old. It is the oldest ferry along the Yellow River in Northwest China. The airbag of the raft is made of a whole sheepskin. The airbags are fastened (系牢) to a wooden stand.
It is said that the biggest sheepskin raft in old times was made up of over 600 sheepskin airbags. It was 22 meters long and 7 meters wide. It could carry around 30 tons of goods(货物) and run over 200 kilometers in one day, making it as helpful as a steamship.
In the early 20th century, before the 1950s, there were fewer railways and road traffic was difficult. The sheepsk in raft was the most important means of transportation for people living along the Yellow River.
Now people do not need to carry passengers or goods on sheepskin rafts. We can only find them along the Yellow River in cities such as Lanzhou and Baiyin. People use them to carry visitors on the Yellow River for fun and sightseeing.
Today only some of the older rafters still run the traditional sheepsk in rafts. They are inheritors (继承者) and are helping to keep the old craft(手艺) . Young people usually don't want to learn the craft. They like finding other jobs in cities.
