On August 21, 2024, in Guizhou, located in southwestern China, a video showcased a young woman dressed in intricate blue ethnic attire demonstrating a nearly lost traditional oil-pressing technique deep in the mountains.

Her outfit, adorned with embroidered patterns, added to the cultural charm of the scene. Using a large wooden hammer, she repeatedly struck a wooden press, causing pure oil to slowly drip from the base of the structure.

A red wooden basin below collected the golden liquid, representing the essence of natural, healthy cooking oil. The rhythmic movement of the hammer, paired with the rich aroma of freshly pressed oil, left Chinese viewers in awe of this ancient craft.
