Jinzhou Manchu folk embroidery, commonly known as "needle embroidery", "stitching flowers" and "embroidery", was originally popular in the vast rural areas where Manchu people live. Jinzhou Manchu folk embroidery artists use needles, cloth hoops, scissors and awls to embroider themed handicrafts with themes of wealth, peace, good luck and good fortune, recording the history of ethnic migration and belief worship. In 2008, it was included in the second batch of China's national intangible cultural heritage list. Jinzhou Manchu folk embroidery usually uses home-woven cloth as the base, various colored silk threads with red, yellow, blue and white as the main tones, and uses a thin steel needle to pierce up and down according to the pattern to weave various patterns. The embroidery includes clothing, daily necessities, festive festivals, etc. The embroidery has a wide range of themes, diverse styles, interesting and profound meanings, which fully expresses the Manchu people's longing for a better life and the connotation of profound culture. The main raw materials of Jinzhou Manchu folk embroidery are thread and cloth. Silk thread and cross thread are generally used for embroidery. Silk thread has good glossiness and is suitable for embroidering delicate patterns; cross thread is smooth and widely used, and is the most used embroidery thread. Common cotton fabrics for embroidery include plain cloth, poplin, gingham, washed cloth, etc.; wool fabrics include flannel, etc.; silk fabrics include plain satin, georgette, etc., as well as chemical fiber and blended fabrics. Tools include needles, cloth hoops, scissors, and awls. The main techniques of Jinzhou Manchu folk embroidery are divided into 6 parts: the first is pattern design. The works of Jinzhou Manchu embroidery highlight people's desire for wealth, peace, good luck and good fortune, and vividly express the narrative of ethnic migration and belief worship. The color coordination of the pattern should fully reflect the different artistic effects of simplicity, elegance, beauty, vividness and enthusiasm. The second is to select the most expressive raw materials, embroidery threads, scissors and other materials and tools according to the design and intention to prepare for embroidery. The third is to draw the designed pattern on the selected fabric, requiring the pattern to be accurately outlined, the lines to be clear, and the embroidery surface to be clean. Fourth, put the painted base cloth on the cloth hoop, adjust the tightness of the embroidery cloth on the cloth hoop, keep it flat, straight and tight, so as to work normally. Fifth, start embroidery, and use tools and materials to express the pre-designed pattern on the cloth. The last step is to sort and mount. Since Jinzhou is located in the Liaoxi Corridor where Manchu and Han cultures blend and converge, the Manchu embroidery in Jinzhou has its own unique artistic style: it not only retains the naive and simple craftsmanship style of the Jurchens on leather patching and the traditional shaman culture content such as "Tree of Life", "Mammy", "Manchu Myths and Legends", but also absorbs the skills and artistic nutrition of literati paintings from Lu embroidery in the Central Plains and Su embroidery in the Jiangnan region with strong cultural tolerance, forming an artistic style with delicate skills in a rich and rough composition, which has been popular for a hundred years and is deeply loved by the masses. In the old days, the inheritance of Jinzhou Manchu folk embroidery was mainly inherited within the family. Mothers taught their daughters skills hand in hand and supervised their daughters to embroider a large number of pillow tops, curtains, shoe uppers and other works. When the bride gets married, these works become dowries in the new house to show the bride's talent. (No pictures yet, please provide them.) (No pictures yet, please provide them.)
