Shu embroidery

"Thank you very much for the wonderful speeches of the senior masters. After listening to your expectations for the future of our embroidery industry, I believe that all the embroiderers present today will benefit a lot.

We all know that embroidery is an art, but first of all it must be a technology, a skill with a history of thousands of years, continuous innovation, change and inheritance.

It is precisely because of the uninterrupted inheritance and teaching of the ancestors that we have the beautiful flowers and prosperity that are displayed in front of us today.

In this link of skill inheritance, it is inseparable from the teaching and teaching of the predecessors, and it is also inseparable from the hard work of the latecomers to study hard and strive for perfection.

So now let us also listen to what ideas and suggestions young embroiderers have on the future development of our embroidery industry.

Let us all applaud, and Ms. Han Jing, the No.2 winner of the Young Embroiderer Competition, and Ms. Shen Chuqing, a talented graduate of the Southwest Academy of Fine Arts, delivered speeches on stage. "

Amid the applause, Shen Chuqing and Han Jing walked towards the stage of the banquet hall under the encouraging eyes of Shuangzhen Tang.

When the two walked up to the center of the stage at the same time and took the microphone handed over by the host, Shen Chuqing looked at the pair of eyes full of scrutiny and scrutiny at herself, and was somewhat nervous in her heart, but in order not to let others see , she kept wrapping up her nervousness with a calm smile.

The host's voice sounded again: "Because time is limited, let's make a brief speech. Which of you two will come first?"

Naturally, Shen Chuqing didn't want to take the lead. Although she had already prepared a draft in her heart, under the attention of so many famous teachers, Shen Chuqing still wanted to see Han Jing's performance first.

But Han Jing obviously looked much more nervous than herself, not only her cheeks were flushed, but even her ears were tinged with a blush. Facing the host's question, her most direct performance was to quietly take a small step back , let Shen Chuqing face all the guests in the banquet hall alone.

"I'll come first!"

Shen Chuqing had no choice but to rush the ducks to the shelves, picked up the microphone and spoke gracefully, and after smiling and saluting to everyone in the hall, she said: "Senior masters, fellow embroiderers, hello everyone! I am Shen Chuqing, and I am very happy. It's an honor to stand here today, expressing ideas on behalf of young embroiderers.

But I still want to say in advance that what I said is only my personal opinion and has nothing to do with the younger generation of embroiderers. Whether it is approval or opposition, I still hope that everyone can give some applause and encouragement in advance. "

Opening your mouth for applause is actually a way to relieve your tension.

Although it wasn't very intense, someone still supported her after all. Shen Chuqing seemed to have taken a reassurance, and the smile on her face became brighter as the tension in her heart gradually disappeared.

She quickly adjusted her mentality, squeezed the microphone tightly with her right hand and continued: "I believe everyone still remembers that Master Hao and Master Gu showed us the original copyright in the Embroidery Hall. importance.

Here, I would like to tell you a real thing that happened to me. Just three months ago, I just went through a lawsuit of embroidery original copyright dispute.

My mother, who is one of the thousands of embroiderers, usually subsidizes her family by embroidering some embroidered noodles that sell better in the market.

In October last year, she followed suit and embroidered a popular painting at that time. It was painted by a foreign painter. Perhaps because of her superb embroidery skills, or because of luck, this embroidered surface was sent to the Louvre Exhibition, discovered by the original author of the painting.

The artist did not hesitate to sue my mother. The outcome of this original copyright infringement lawsuit can be said to be without suspense.

My mother was also very wronged. So many people had embroidered that painting, but she was the only one who was sued.

She couldn't even figure it out, being able to embroider that painting into the Louvre Museum exhibition was a good thing for the painter as well as for her, but why did the painter come all the way to treat her? Prosecute?

This kind of behavior, in our words, actually has a feeling of repaying kindness and revenge. "When Shen Chuqing said this, she paused for a while, and someone answered immediately.

"It's not easy. If you shoot the head bird, you can blame your mother for embroidering that painting too well."

"It's true that it's kindness and revenge. If someone embroiders his work, it can also increase his popularity. It should be a win-win situation. Why did he have to go to court?"

A little girl in her early twenties spoke in a puzzled manner.

"You are right, it is precisely because we do not know enough about original copyright that we feel that this is a good thing for everyone.

But have you ever thought that the painting was conceived and depicted by other painters' painstaking efforts, and we directly took away the achievements of others without his consent. This behavior can be regarded as stealing, also known as It is plagiarism.

If we were the painters, we would feel bad if someone else used our works to make money without our consent.

If you think about it from the perspective of the person who has been violated, you should know that the protection of original copyright is the most basic requirement for the production of all craft and cultural works.

Only with sound and standardized copyright rules can the interests of all of us not be harmed.

As a person who has personally experienced copyright lawsuits, even though I am on the defendant's side, I still want to take this opportunity to appeal to everyone that respecting original copyrights is the best start for our future development. "

Shen Chuqing's statement was immediately recognized by many people, and Zhou Xu was the happiest. She was able to admit that she was the defendant in public, which showed that she no longer hated herself as the plaintiff's lawyer.

"You are right, protecting and supporting original copyright is actually protecting our own vital interests.

But Ms. Shen, we are just ordinary embroiderers, even if we want to make originals, we don't know how to draw the drafts ourselves.

If, as you said, other people's original works cannot be touched, but we do not have the ability to design original base maps, does that mean that we cannot continue to embroider most of the works on the market?

Embroiderers need to survive, and younger ones can study their skills and learn from teachers.

The older ones have to support their families, but if the embroidery works are carried out according to the original copyright, those manuscripts are like a minefield, which may explode at any time. Can't touch the work? "
