@craftheritage: Shu embroidery is one of the Four Great Chinese Embroideries and a distinguished intangible cultural heritage of Sichuan province. Boasting a time-honored history, it represents the exquisite folk craftsmanship and aesthetic taste of Bashu culture. Adopting natural mineral pigments and high-quality mulberry silk threads, Shu embroidery undergoes rigorous manual procedures including water flotation pigment refining, natural dyeing, thread splitting and frame mounting. With elaborate and diverse stitching techniques, artisans portray lifelike textures and layered colors. The ultra-fine split silk threads endow the works with extraordinary delicacy and gloss. Focusing on vivid verve and implicit elegance, Shu embroidery excels in depicting natural creatures and floral scenes. The classic motif of hibiscus and koi fish symbolizes auspiciousness and vitality. Inheriting the ingenuity of Bashu artisans for thousands of years, Shu embroidery perfectly interprets the subtle, refined and vivid artistic conception of oriental traditional embroidery art. #handwork #ancientchina #handmade #countrylife #craft #crafttok #intangibleculturalheritage
