The historical origin of exquisite embroidery

Embroidery is an ancient folk art of Han nationality, which was developed through repeated research, exploration and trial-production on the basis of written records in Duyang Miscellanies by Su E in the Tang Dynasty. As a characteristic of Wuxi embroidery, implicit embroidery is famous at home and abroad.

As the name implies, implicit embroidery is a delicate and tiny Shuang Mianxiu. The artistic features of micro embroidery are mainly manifested in its small size, ingenious conception and exquisite rust art. Works are often in a small picture, carefully constructed colorful words and patterns, and embroidered by Shuang Mianxiu's techniques. No matter how fine the words are, they are both in form and spirit, full of interest and people can't put them down. Embroidered patterns and fonts on people's clothes can only be seen with the help of a magnifying glass. Implicit embroidery has been appreciated by artists and collectors at home and abroad since it came out. It has won many awards in the national arts and crafts exhibition and is regarded as a wonderful flower in the hundred gardens of Chinese embroidery art. Implicit embroidery mainly adopts Shuang Mianxiu technique, but compared with ordinary Shuang Mianxiu, it pays more attention to the use of needle, thread, material and color, with higher technical requirements and greater difficulty. When embroidering details, it is even necessary to subdivide a silk thread into 70-80 points. From the beginning of painting design, a work should be painted on paper first, then on silk, and then with stitches and colors. "With dogs, we should use Mao Xiulai to describe the furry feeling of dogs; Camels are embroidered with random needles, not too messy, depicting the feeling of camel fur; The figure's clothes are embroidered with a set of needles and have the texture of silk. Like human eyebrows, they can only be described by feeling. " It is precisely because it is so difficult that mastering this skill requires not only decades of hard work, but also understanding and talent. What the audience sees is exquisite and elegant embroidery works, but the skills passed down by them are concentrated on the unique skills of the inheritors after hundreds and thousands of years of accumulation.
