Shu embroidery

Moreover, the embroidery stitches and patterns of Shu embroidery have also had a huge impact on the embroidery of some surrounding ethnic minorities, especially in the embroidery of ethnic minorities such as Yi, Miao, Qiang, Bai, and Naxi, there are a lot of cross-stitching. patterns. "

Sang Zi looked at the cross-stitching method displayed on the boa robe, and was also envious. If it wasn't because of the glass cabinet behind it, he might have started it long ago.

"Ming Yuzhen, Sister Shen, hurry up and take a look, it's the dragon robe embroidered by Ming Yuzhen, something left over from the Yuan Dynasty." Yang Qi suddenly shouted excitedly, pointing to a display cabinet next to her.

"It's really Ming Yuzhen's. It seems that this embroidery award is really not in vain. The most important technique in the Yuan Dynasty is the lock stitch. Look at the dragon robe, all the hooks on the dragon's body are all used. It's lock stitch."

Several people responded and walked over, surrounded the display cabinet displaying dragon robes, and carefully admired the embroidery techniques on it.

Sang Zi was overjoyed, pointing to the crochet needle on the edge of the dragon and said: "Use the lock stitch first, and then use your unique halo stitch to show the dragon scale layer by layer, so that the image of the dragon looks more realistic and vivid." , is really too clever.”

It was the first time for Shen Chuqing to see a real dragon robe, and when she was looking at it seriously, Yang Qi's voice sounded in her ears again: "There is also a work of overlock embroidery, which is from the Qing Dynasty, Yunlonghong Sanfang Satin bridal top, come and take a look, there are some differences between the lock stitch shown here and the lock stitch on the dragon robe."

Shen Chuqing was still immersed in the embroidery pattern on the dragon robe, and when she couldn't extricate herself, Sangzi had already dragged her to the showcase of Yunlong Hongsan's satin bridal top.

Because of Yang Qi's reminder, Shen Chuqing also immediately saw the difference between the two embroidered overlock embroidery, and said: "This is a work of the Qing Dynasty, and the emphasis is on the formation of stitches on the edge of the cloth." For decoration, thread should be padded on the cloth to achieve the purpose of reducing embroidery work and increasing decorative effect.

It can also be used as a bolt, and silk thread can also be used as a cushion thread. In that case, it can also be called lock gold embroidery. "

"Yes, yes, I have heard from my master before, but very few embroiderers use gold and silver thread to make mats. After all, not every embroiderer is rich and powerful, and many people can only eat three meals a day. .”

When Yang Qi said this, her eyes also dimmed. Born in the hometown of embroidery, she dare not say that she has witnessed the rise and fall, but she does have a feeling that she is not as good as before.

"There are Suo Jinxiu works here, do you want to come and have a look?" Peng Shaolie said excitedly as he walked to the third showcase in front of him.

Shen Chuqing pulled up Yang Qi, who was a little depressed, and the three of them walked to Peng Shaolie's side, looking at the collections in the showcase in front of him.

It is also a work from the Qing Dynasty, and it also has a very nice name, Shijin Honghu Crepe.

"This doesn't seem to be Suo Jinxiu." The well-informed Yang Qi said quickly.

As soon as her voice fell, she heard Ziyu's voice: "Miss Yang is right, this is flat gold embroidery, which is embroidered by laying gold and silver threads back and forth in parallel within the pattern. They are laid in parallel, so it is called flat gold embroidery.

The suojin embroidery you want to see is the vine-grass Baji tent over there. It is embroidered with suojin embroidery using the method of suojin embroidery. You can also add another color between the two rows of gold threads. Lines make the color of the whole work richer. "

"Sister Ziyu, why are you here?" A professional commentator arrived, and Shen Chuqing was so excited that she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"I am the narrator here, and I am obliged to explain to you the origin and embroidery method of each piece of work here." Ziyu smiled gently.

"Thank you, Sister Ziyu." Shen Chuqing quickly thanked her, and several other companions also expressed their thanks one after another.

Ziyu led them to the shopkeeper of the vine-covered Baji tent, and said, "This is a collection that the organizer borrowed from Southwest University to represent Suo Jinxiu. If you like it, you can learn more about it."

"These are all national treasure-level cultural relics. It is good luck to see one of them usually, but today I can enjoy so many masterpieces at once.

So does it mean that our hand embroidery will only get better and better in the future? "Yang Qi looked at the works full of historical vicissitudes in front of her eyes, and the light of hope ignited in her eyes.

"With some of you rising stars in the embroidery field, it will only get better and better in the future!" Ziyu said with a hint of relief.

"Cat, Sister Shen, come and have a look, this cat is so beautiful, it seems to be alive, especially the fur on its body, I want to pull out two of them to play with."

Sangzi had already walked to another showcase, pointing to a white cat embroidered face inside the showcase, and danced excitedly.

"This white cat can be said to be a masterpiece of double-sided special-shaped and different-color embroidery, and no one who saw it did not feel amazed.

This is from the collection of the Provincial Museum. The cat embroidered with different shapes and colors on both sides is using the well-known hair needle. Ordinary embroiderers will use the halo stitch method to make the base.

But to embroider such a work, the bottom line must reach four to six layers, and the depths of the layers should alternate between layers, and the bottom lines of the back layer and the front layer must give way and cannot overlap.

To make it not cover up layer by layer, the direction of needle application must be embroidered according to the texture of animal wool, which varies with the situation.

It can be applied straightly, horizontally, obliquely, or embraced. The embroiderer must carefully analyze and understand the object to be embroidered, and it depends on the texture of the object to be embroidered.

Sometimes it is necessary to add the turning stitch method. The hair of long-haired animals needs to be stitched, and the hair on the edge should be embroidered lightly, especially double-sided embroidery. The embroidery is the pattern on the back, which cannot cover the hair on the edge of the animal. The requirements for special-shaped and different-color embroidery are even higher. The stitches must be hidden under the embroidery surface and must be firmly combined with the embroidery cloth.

This requires a relatively high level of technical requirements. It depends on the feeling of the hand to apply the hair, and connect the stitches and the cloth under the embroidery surface. People with good skills can also use random stitches to apply the hair, but it must not fly I can't afford to throw it away. There are not many embroiderers I know. "

Ziyu wanted to let Shen Chuqing know more, so when explaining, he paid more attention to the needling technique.

Shen Chuqing also listened carefully, maintaining a state of concentration all the time, and firmly remembered all the methods of using the various acupuncture techniques she mentioned.

"Thank you, sister Ziyu. This cat is the most beautiful and realistic among all the animal embroidery I have seen. People can't help but want to reach out and touch it when they see it."
