Shu embroidery

The big red silk base material, the teeny lowercase script embroidered with golden silk thread, is upright and full of thickness and festiveness.

Shen Chuqing looked at the content above and couldn't help but read out aloud: "From now on, we will have a good relationship, we will be a married couple, the red rope will be tied early, the white heads will be together forever, the flowers will be happy and the moon will be full, and you will swim in the sea with dry rocks. , I would like to make this agreement.

Born in Shu Xiao, Fu Zhiqi, and Zhou Qunfang, who embroidered dragons, completed the ceremony on the ninth day of September, [-]. "

The glyphs are vigorous and powerful, the silk thread is tight and tight, and the most rare thing is the gloss. Even after more than [-] years, it is still like a new product, which shows that a lot of thought has been spent on preservation.

"This marriage letter embroidery doesn't quite look like your technique, teacher." Although she has never seen Mr. Qunfang embroider, she has been with her day and night for the past year, and Shen Chuqing is completely familiar with her needlework and needlework habits. Terrible.

"It was embroidered by him. The silk thread and base material were exchanged for his only bicycle back then. At that time, no matter how good his paintings were, no one would take a second look at them.

Therefore, after leaving the teacher's school, our lives were extremely poor, and most of the time we relied on dreams to support us. What is a dream? Now I can't remember when I had the idea.

I just vaguely remember that he said that he wanted to draw all the recorded dragons in the world and become the greatest dragon painter in the world.

I said, as long as he can draw, I can embroider and become the most powerful dragon embroiderer in the world.

When we are 90 years old, the two of us will hold a special exhibition of all the painted and embroidered dragons, so that everyone can better understand the historical origin and formation mode of our Chinese dragons, so that everyone can understand dragon culture more clearly .

On the way together, we are all working hard for this obsession, and we have traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Sichuan in order to find the footprints of the dragon.

He always said that dragons should be real, otherwise why would there be so many people portraying them so clearly, otherwise why would there be a story about Ye Gong loving dragons.

He even compared himself to Ye Gong, even if he was scared out of his wits, he still wanted to see the real dragon.

That winter was much colder than in previous years. We were in a teahouse, listening to a few timber sellers gossip about Longmenzhen.

It is said that in a valley in the Qinling Mountains, there is a stone-carved dragon lock pillar, and the dragon carved on it seems to be alive. Some people even saw its body squirming in thunderstorms, struggling desperately, trying to get out of the lock. On the dragon pillar, he escaped and ascended to heaven.

This is a fantastic dragon formation, but the two of us believed it, because we all wanted to see the real dragon.

After asking about the location, we entered the Qinling Mountains all the way, looking for the Suolongzhu that we heard about, hoping to see the real dragon.

But in that mountain forest, we stayed for more than a whole week, not to mention the lock dragon pillar, and we didn't even find a shadow of a stone pillar.

After returning from Qinling, he was in a bad mood, locked himself in the room, and described the appearance of the dragon who had heard about the lock dragon pillar piece by piece from others.

After another period of time, he stopped painting the Locking Dragon Pillar, and his life finally returned to peace. I thought he had given up completely, so I didn't take it to heart, but who knows, but only a month later, he So he left the book and left.

After this trip, there was no news at all. I took people to Qinling again, and neither Suolongzhu nor him was found. He seemed to have evaporated in the world. Maybe it was really good. Dragon, be taken away by the dragon!
I have not yet recovered from his sudden disappearance. A picture of a rising dragon I embroidered was selected by the provincial museum as a representative work of dragon-shaped embroidery, and I became a little famous embroiderer because of this.

The problem of living in poverty was also gradually solved, but the person who drew the draft for me disappeared. I was unwilling to reconcile, and went to Qinling several times, but still returned without success. "

Mr. Qunfang paused slightly when he said this, the pulp of his finger just stopped on the word Fu, looking at the familiar but unfamiliar name, Mr. Qunfang couldn't help but entered the memory again:

"He and I have been brothers and sisters of the same school since we were twelve or thirteen years old. He was an orphan and wandered around when he was very young. Once the master saw him scribbling on the ground with firewood and charcoal on the road, and the master took him away. I took it home and decided to teach him how to draw.

Zhang Chongjiu also came to learn art from a teacher that year, but what he first learned was not carving, but carpentry. Carpenters in the past were quite popular in life. After all, every household cannot do without wooden furniture.

Mingqiu and I learned embroidery from my wife. My wife is a gentle and quiet woman. I heard that she came from a famous family and she has a scholarly spirit. When she taught us embroidery, she also taught us a lot of knowledge that we have never been exposed to before.

Little Huangying didn't know what was going on. Although she had parents with such superb skills and knowledge as her master and wife, she couldn't learn anything well. That's why master and the others handed over all their life's skills to us.

The master said that whether you are a carpenter, painter, or embroiderer, you must have cultural heritage. However, cultural heritage is the most indispensable thing in China, because we have a full 5000 years of civilization inheritance.

Maybe craftsmen will be looked down upon by others, but craftsmen who are exquisite and educated, what they make are all high-quality goods, all are civilized, and they have the background of a great country.

Therefore, apprentices in the Huang Family Courtyard not only have to learn skills, but also read and write, so that they can master both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

They can only rely on gruel for sustenance, and the master did not ask Zhiqi to put down the paintbrush in his hand, pick up the ink fountain, and become a carpenter to earn money to share life.

The master told Zhiqi that since you are determined to learn something well, you must learn it with your heart, and you must persevere no matter what difficulties you encounter.

Although there is no achievement now, how do you know that there is no achievement? Qi Baishi spent his whole life drawing shrimps, and Zheng Banqiao spent his whole life drawing bamboo. Didn’t you say that you like dragons?
Then you spend your whole life painting dragons. Only by persistently studying can you have the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with the senior masters.

Embroidery is also the same principle. First of all, you must find out the direction you are good at. If you want to regard it as a lifetime career, you have to figure out your preferences.

There are too many beautiful scenery in this world, but a person's ability is limited after all. If you want to be able to achieve something, you must be dedicated. "

Whenever the master asks us to be dedicated, my wife will always come and make fun of him, saying that it was because he learned too much, so he failed to achieve anything in middle age.

The master will also justify a few sentences, saying that he is knowledgeable and versatile, but he knows too many things, and he doesn't know which one to represent for a while.
