Shu embroidery

Guangdong embroidery pays more attention to the combination of materials and shapes, which are divided into four categories, namely silk velvet embroidery, gold and silver thread embroidery, thread embroidery and bead embroidery.

Silk velvet embroidery is the most complete variety of Cantonese embroidery with silk as the embroidery material, strong expressive force, long history, and preserved skills.

There are more than [-] kinds of stitches in gold and silver silk embroidery, including flat embroidery, weaving embroidery, winding embroidery, raised embroidery, cushion embroidery, appliqué embroidery, weaving embroidery and brocade.

As for bead embroidery, it is a new type of Cantonese embroidery. It has only been developed and applied by Cantonese embroidery artists in recent years. So far, the market has responded well. "

When Lu Yumei said this, she paused for a moment, looked back at the beaded embroidery pattern that appeared on the screen, and then continued:
"Let me tell you another feature of Cantonese embroidery. In addition to the rich variety of stitches, we also pay great attention to conception in creation and design.

Because they pay more attention to traditional life, they will incorporate auspicious and good wishes into embroidery to express their ideal pursuit of a better life.

Our Cantonese embroidery is also good at absorbing the strengths formed by various arts such as painting and folk paper-cutting, so as to realize the composition of embroidery, which is full and complex but not chaotic, with uniform stitches, bright and smooth, clear and distinct texture, both shape and spirit, lifelike and lifelike, so that To reflect the local style and artistic characteristics of Guangdong embroidery. "

After Lu Yumei finished speaking, amidst bursts of warm applause, she left the stage with a smile on her face.On the big screen above the stage, the Nine Dragons Screen, a masterpiece of Cantonese embroidery that has been famous all over the world in recent years, was presented in front of everyone.

As a disciple of the Dragon Embroidery Man, when the Nine Dragon Screen was frozen on the screen, Shen Chuqing's eyes were straightened, and she wished she could get closer to see all the stitches inside.

They are all embroidered dragons, but their styles are completely different. The dragons embroidered by Mr. Qunfang always have a somewhat rebellious and defiant aura.

Occasionally there will be some gentler ones, but in terms of momentum, Mr. Qunfang pays more attention to opening and closing, majestic and majestic.

It was even suspected that Mr. Qunfang was a male embroidery master.

In comparison, although the dragon on the Nine Dragons screen is equally majestic, it is a bit more peaceful and gentle.

The needle method can only be seen in pictures, so there is no way to compare it, but in terms of shape and concept, the Jiulong screen is obviously more popular.

"What? Are you thinking, can the dragon embroidered by Mister compare to the dragon on the Nine-Dragon Screen?"

Ziyu saw through her entanglement at a glance, and asked in a low voice.

Shen Chuqing shook her head and said: "The teacher's embroidery naturally has the advantages of the teacher, but I can't just because she is my teacher, I won't admit that other people are good at embroidering dragons."

"Have you learned how to embroider dragons?" Ziyu asked suddenly.

Shen Chuqing shook her head and said in a low voice: "It's just a little understanding. The teacher doesn't force me to embroider anything, but I think I should learn how to embroider dragons if I have time. No matter what, I can't smash the teacher's name."

Ziyu nodded and said, "That's true, how can a disciple of a dragon embroiderer not know how to embroider a dragon!"

As the host's cheerful voice rang out, the big screen on the stage rolled up again, and various Cantonese embroidery works were rotated again, even if it was just a picture, it could also make people feel The richness of this visual feast.

"Whether it's a phoenix wearing a peony or a hundred birds facing a phoenix, the stitches and threads of Cantonese embroidery all contain the longing for auspicious, prosperous and prosperous times.

Let us give warm applause to Ms. Lu Yumei for her wonderful sharing of knowledge about Cantonese embroidery. "

After the applause stopped, Youle looked back at the big screen. The previous picture of Cantonese embroidery had been replaced by pictures of other embroidery works, so he continued without haste:

"The exquisite four famous embroideries are all included in the national intangible cultural heritage list this year. We are definitely not lucky, because we all have a history of thousands of years, and there are embroiderers from generation to generation who are working on this one. Efforts are being made to inherit the culture.”

The masterpieces of the four famous embroideries began to gradually appear on the screen as her voice sounded, and many embroidery masterpieces that were regarded as treasures by museums around the world were also included in it.

Although there is no way to see the authentic works, but being able to collect these pictures together shows that the organizer has also spent a lot of effort.

Shen Chuqing kept her eyes fixed on the screen in front of her, for fear of missing any masterpiece.

"Although the four famous embroideries are the mainstream, there are still many different schools in our country. Our works have their own merits and styles, but we all have one purpose, which is to hope that the embroidery industry will get better and better."

The screens on the stage began to change with the content of Youle's speech, and embroidery representatives from various regions also emerged one after another.

Mongolian embroidery with strong Mongolian grassland style, colorful Yao embroidery, and many embroidery with ethnic minority style, even if it just flashes on the screen, there will be people in the living room excitedly applaud.

As an embroiderer who just learned embroidery, Shen Chuqing, like all the embroiderers present, naturally hoped that embroidery would get better and better in the future.

The host’s generous speech did not end, she leaned sideways with a gentle and intellectual voice, and began to read the names of the famous embroiderers of various factions that appeared on the screen, briefly introducing their works, and regarded the whole opening ceremony as a After a science popularization, I can't wait to stuff the knowledge of the origin and characteristics of embroidery into the heads of everyone present.

Shen Chuqing was so excited that she almost stood up when she heard the words Zhou Qunfang from the Embroidered Dragon.

"Master Zhou is proficient in all kinds of embroidery techniques, especially calligraphy and painting. In our embroidery circle, he is called Mr. by his younger generations because of his knowledge and talents. However, Mr. Zhou is self-willed and only embroiders dragons in his life. I haven't seen her embroidering anything else so far. Embroidery.

Master Zhou once won the Gold Award of the Hundred Flowers Embroidery Awards with a painting of Qianlong Tengyuan!

The Nine Sons of Longsheng even won the championship at the World Embroidery Exhibition held in France.

Master Zhou is also good at large-scale embroidery that combines landscapes and dragons, and his embroidered dragons in the wilderness have been collected by many museums..."

Shen Chuqing stared intently at the various dragon shapes that appeared on the screen, and listened to Youle's explanation verbatim in her ears.

It wasn't until the name of another master appeared on the screen that Shen Chuqing's excited mood calmed down a little, and she secretly looked at the teacher sitting in the guest seat in a daze.

Mr. Qunfang seemed to have sensed something, turned around and met Shen Chuqing's eyes.
