Shu embroidery

I saw that she was holding a dragon-headed cane in her hand, like the kind of old lady who came out of the painting. Although she was old, she was still majestic.

"Hello, Master Shen!"

Everyone greeted her one after another, and Mr. Qunfang led Peng Ye to stand up. The embroidery industry has always upheld a fine tradition, and must show respect to the elderly.

Master Shen nodded at everyone, looked at the people standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Chi Yushan in Suzhou embroidery, Chen Xiangnan in Hunan embroidery, Peng Ye in Guangdong embroidery, Tang Hua with double needles, Xu Lingfei with random needles, cross-stitching in western Sichuan, cross-stitching in southern Shaanxi , Meng Yizhi, Yang Xu, Wu Ying, Hao Zhenxing, it seems that our embroidery awards this year are much more lively than previous years."

Shen Chuqing was secretly surprised. The master Shen in front of her was said to be ninety years old, but she was able to call out the names of all the embroiderers present.

All the embroiderers whose names she had named became very excited. The one in front of her is a master in the Shu embroidery world. It is such an honor to be remembered by her.

Compared with this, her teacher seemed a little overbearing. Shen Chuqing secretly looked at Mr. Qunfang, as usual, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with her.

"Of course, we have successfully been selected as the national intangible cultural heritage this year, and we are the host of this year's Embroidery Awards. Naturally, we will invite all masters from all over the world to gather together and celebrate that embroidery is getting better and better." Ziyu said with a smile.

"It's really hard to get together, since everyone is here, as the organizer, we must let everyone have a good time.

Don't stand here!Find a place to rest for a while, and after the opening ceremony, let's visit this year's masterpieces together.

This year, our organizers spent a lot of money, and almost stole the embroidery cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui for everyone to watch. "

Master Shen said in a joking tone, which immediately attracted a lot of laughter.

Under the compliments and greetings of countless people, Master Shen saw Mr. Qunfang in the crowd, and walked towards her with a slight smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently? I heard that you have accepted a disciple, yes This little girl?"

As soon as Master Shen finished speaking, Shen Chuqing felt countless gazes on her body, and secretly retracted her hands into her sleeves, clenched into fists nervously.

"Chuqing, why don't you come to see Master Shen?" Mr. Qunfang said with a smile.

Shen Chuqing hurriedly took a step forward, and bowed slightly to Master Shen: "My junior, Shen Chuqing, met Master Shen."

"What a beautiful little girl, no wonder you can catch Lao Zhou's eyes, unlike those apprentices I took in, all of them look crooked."

Although Master Shen was praising, but Shen Chuqing was like a light on her back. She could clearly feel a few unkind eyes coming from behind Master Shen. It didn't take much thinking to know that it must be Master Shen's apprentice, and she didn't know who she was. It's not intentional to make enemies for yourself.

"Although I am happy to hear what you said, it is not true. Look at the young disciples next to you, which one looks worse than my Chu Qing.

Especially your eldest student Yue Changzhi, who is called Chang'e in our embroidery world.

Do you know why I found such a disciple so late?Because all the good girls are picked out first, I can only find one in that poor country. "

As soon as Mr. Qunfang finished speaking, Shen Chuqing obviously felt that the hostile eyes disappeared. Knowing that it was her teacher who was protecting her, Shen Chuqing felt a touch of emotion in her heart.

Master Shen smiled and joked:
"Just search for someone who is so spiritual. If you look for it seriously, it's okay. This little girl is also surnamed Shen. Maybe we were still a family a hundred years ago!"

"Master Shen was joking." As Shen Chuqing, who is familiar with the history of embroidery, she naturally knew how far her Shen was from hers, and she would not dare to climb up.

Master Shen smiled slightly, obviously not paying attention to it, but continued: "I heard that Shuping is here, I have to talk to her for a while, are you going to rest here or go with me?"

"I'll go there when the opening ceremony starts. You can go about your business and leave me alone."

Mr. Qunfang didn't like the excitement of being surrounded, so he directly refused to go with her.

"Okay then, we'll see you later." After finishing speaking, Master Shen left with her disciples in a mighty manner.

"Father, this Master Shen is so handsome?" the young man standing behind Peng Ye said in a low voice.

Mr. Qunfang looked at him with a half-smile, and Peng Ye quickly said, "Shao Lie, my son, has never seen the world, so let Mr. see a joke."

"After all, you're young, and you're not from Sichuan, so it's normal not to know, Chuqing, do you know Master Shen's origin?" Mr. Qunfang looked back at Shen Chuqing, then turned and sat back on the original sofa.

In the small living room at this moment, there were only two people in the front corner who were talking in a low voice, obviously everyone else followed Master Shen and left.

"Knowing" is the knowledge and history of embroidery, and Shen Chuqing has done it specially.

"Then you tell this little brother." Mr. Qunfang wanted to study his disciples carefully, Shen Chuqing responded and said.

"This starts from the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty. Due to the bloodbath of Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, the entry of the Qing army into Sichuan, the San Francisco Rebellion and other military disasters, plagues and natural disasters, the population of Sichuan has dropped sharply, and the embroidery industry of Shu embroidery has also suffered. unprecedented destruction.

After the situation stabilized, Shu embroidery began to gradually recover, but at that time there were not many embroidery workers left, and many good techniques were also cut off from inheritance.

Later, an official who was transferred from Suzhou to Sichuan brought a troupe with him. There were three embroidery masters in the troupe, who originally made outfits for the troupe.

Because of his excellent embroidery skills, he recruited many apprentices, and all the embroidery products he made were used by the government.

But because the three embroidery masters were men, they could not recruit women as apprentices. During that period, most of the embroidery technicians in Shu embroidery were male workers.

However, with the recovery of the Shu embroidery business, the career of female celebrities in the boudoir has also been restored.

In [-], Chengdu set up the General Administration of Persuading Industry of Sichuan Province, which set up an embroidery department, hired famous artists to design embroidery drafts, and studied embroidery techniques.

Among them are the landscapes of the great painter Liu Zijian, the flowers and birds of Zhang Heqin, the lotus of Yang Jianan, and the insects and fishes of Zhang Zhian, which directly enhance the artistic appreciation of Shu embroidery, which was originally only used for daily necessities.

At that time, Zhang Hongxing and several other embroiderers jointly embroidered a quadruple screen of animals and won the gold medal in the Panama Games.
