Not only the traditional catcher, how can intangible cultural heritage embroidery break the circle and "show"?
2022-03-04
Hand embroidery is an ancient traditional skill in China. Nowadays, as China continues to set off another round of "national tide fever", the development of traditional manual embroidery is facing new opportunities and challenges. On the eve of the two sessions of the National People's Congress, many deputies to the National People's Congress spoke out about how to "break the circle" of embroidery, emphasizing that the inheritors of embroidery should not stop at the watchers of traditional culture, but should revitalize the ancient skills through industrialization. How to inherit: pay equal attention to skills and culture Miao embroidery is an embroidery skill inherited by the Miao people in China. As China's national intangible cultural heritage, Miao embroidery with a history of thousands of years engraves the creation myth, migration history and delicate emotion of the people on the costumes. "There are many elements of Miao embroidery clothing. For example, there are rules for what patterns are used to cross the river and what patterns are used to climb the mountain." Li Shaoyu, deputy to the National People's Congress and representative inheritor of Pengshui Miao embroidery of Chongqing intangible cultural heritage project, told reporters. For Miao embroidery clothing, she has a vivid metaphor - "wordless history books worn on the body". "What Miao embroidery represents is not only a dress or a technology, but a national culture. We must inherit it well." Li Shaoyu said. In view of the problems existing in the inheritance of Miao embroidery, Shi Liping, deputy to the National People's Congress and the seventh generation inheritor of Songtao Miao embroidery, told reporters that at this stage, some inheritors are only superficial. "As Inheritors, in addition to skills, we also need knowledge and culture. Now we don't lack crafts, but cultural talents." Shi Liping stressed that talent training is the key link. The official needs to improve the inheritance system through systematic planning in order to realize the continuous supply of talents. How to position: more than the traditional catcher Xiang embroidery is one of the four famous embroideries in China, with a history of more than 2000 years. Double sided and different embroidery, which represents the highest skill of Xiang embroidery, is also known as "magic art". However, Cheng Xinxiang, deputy to the National People's Congress and director of Hunan embroidery production department of Hunan Hunan Embroidery Research Institute, has been thinking about how traditional art can "hold hands" and "go out of the circle" of modern life. Engaged in the Xiang embroidery industry for more than 30 years, the "spokesperson" of Xiang embroidery will wear the latest Xiang embroidery clothes and cultural and creative accessories every time he goes to Beijing to introduce the innovation of Xiang embroidery. "Traditional Xiang embroidery has entered modern life. Through industrial development and prosperity, traditional art is being recognized by more people." Cheng Xinxiang told reporters. "We can't stop being a catcher. We must form a brand by stimulating endogenous power, and finally feed intangible cultural heritage with industrial development." Shi Liping, who walked more than 30000 miles to villages and villages to record the history of Miao embroidery, was deeply touched by this. In recent years, she has constantly advocated the development model of "Miao embroidery +" - Taking "Miao embroidery + clothing" as an example and taking the raw material of Chinese herbal medicine Banlangen as the dyeing line. In addition to Miao embroidery itself, it can also stimulate the in-depth development of Banlangen planting, weaving, clothing sales and other industrial chains. "The national is the world. How wonderful a stitch is." Shi Liping said, "as Inheritors, we believe that what we inherit is both culture and industry." How to break the circle: embrace popularity and youth As a traditional Chinese craft, "exquisite and advanced" has always been the impression of manual embroidery in the eyes of the public. Nowadays, it is becoming the consensus of more and more embroidery inheritors to say goodbye to "being too high and too few" and embrace popularization and youth. "The 'post-90s' and' post-00s' young people are more and more confident in excellent traditional culture, patriotic goods, use domestic goods and pay attention to the national trend." Cheng Xinxiang believes that Xiang embroidery "out of the circle" needs to be innovated in the way of "traditional culture modernization", combined with science, technology and art, and enter modern life. Bedding, wedding dress, bookmark, Bluetooth stereo, car fragrance, backpack... Cheng Xinxiang led his team to develop many derivative products of Xiang embroidery culture closely related to life, becoming a "new favorite" of young people. Facing the problems of monotonous design and poor production of embroidery products, Li Shaoyu further pointed out that in order to develop intangible cultural heritage, we must embrace young people through innovation. Compared with the traditional Miao embroidery of "making articles" in clothing, Li Shaoyu embroidered local tourist attractions or Chinese paintings such as the picture of the river during the Qingming Festival on products and created them with silk fabrics and silkworm silk threads. Pengshui Miao embroidery is becoming more and more "young". Li Shaoyu said that at this year's National People's Congress, she will put forward suggestions, hoping to establish the concept of intangible cultural heritage into modern life and promote the more comprehensive integration of intangible cultural heritage into life on the basis of adhering to tradition and not losing its foundation.
