Embroider the temperament of Hangzhou, feel the artistic charm of the new generation of embroiderers!

Come to Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum to feel the charm of Hangzhou embroidery praised by Feng Jicai. Hangzhou has always been a major producer of silk products, known as the "House of Silk". Silver needles lead colorful threads, and wonderful fingers embroider heart pictures. Embroidery techniques are widely used in all aspects of life, such as cloud shoulders, chair covers, table surrounds, opera soft pillows... Hangzhou's embroidery is also known as "ancient embroidery, Song embroidery", which produces subtle changes in light quality through orderly needle foot combinations. Initially used by the people, the Southern Song Dynasty set up the Wenxiu Academy, which was specially ordered for the inner garden. The painting and embroidery, known as the "ink and ink in the boudoir", is greatly influenced by Song painting. Hangzhou embroidery deeply reflects regional culture, and small scenes pay attention to mood and artistic conception. Traditional folk themes and patterns include good news for wealth, peace and wealth, butterfly love flower, and lotus birth noble son. Embroidery is an art connected by heart and hand. Bamboo hand sticks are best soaked in salt water to prevent insect damage. Gold and silver threads are made of real silk as raw materials, dyed red with raw silk embryos, called "cutting threads". The lock needle is the earliest needle method in China, also known as "braid stock".
