🎧  Listen to Introduction

Miao embroidery is a traditional Chinese folk culture. Due to the special geographical environment of the Miao area, it has become a place that is difficult for traditional Chinese literati culture to reach. The unique folk culture of the Miao people has always supported the development of this ancient nation, forming the unique folk customs and personality spirit of the Miao area. The embroidery art of the Miao people is one of the unique forms of expression in the history and culture of the Miao people, and is the crystallization of the diligence and wisdom of Miao women. It is closely related to real life, its content is close to daily production and life, and its style is simple and straightforward. The proximity to life also allows Miao embroidery to retain the characteristics of the time when art occurred, that is, the integration of art and production activities or life scenes in the primitive art period. Miao embroidery has simple and elegant shapes, and sometimes even permeates a naive and romantic sentiment. The symbolic intention composition method it pursues that transcends reality has both traditional artistic style and multilateral and flexible expression methods; it is both primitive and simple, and at the same time modern and avant-garde, showing an intentional composition expression and isomorphic space that can only be seen in modern art. This is the unique feature of folk art. It denies the rigid and mechanical reproduction of reality, pursues the unique and free expression of individuality in art, and embodies people's ideals and pursuits.
