China Wankang.com reporter Mai Wanhua embroidery refers to the traditional handicrafts that wear needle on silk, hair, hemp, cotton and other fabrics to form a variety of colorful patterns, which has a history of at least 2,000 years in China. During the development of the Ming and Qing dynasties, China's embroidery has gradually formed four famous embroidery: Su Embroidery, Hunan Embroidery, Shu Embroidery and Guangdong Embroidery. The South Guangdong area, the folk embroidery craftsmanship in the Pearl River Delta region centered on Guangzhou, referred to as Guangxiu, is collectively referred to as the Guangdong embroidery in the Chaoshan area. It is one of the four famous embroidery in my country.

"The four famous embroidery each have their own characteristics. Among them, the traditional Guangxiu is mainly painted by gongbi, and the color is more vivid and feels more festive. Guangxiu also pays attention to the performance of the mouth and eyes. Wu Jieyi, a provincial -level representative inheritance of non -heritage projects, Wu Jieyi, a master of arts and crafts in Guangdong Province, introduced.

Guangxiu has a long history and has superb skills in the Tang Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it became the main export product on the Maritime Silk Road. After the continuous inheritance and improvement of handicrafts in the past, Guang embroidery has become embroidery with rich colors, changing acupuncture, and unique Lingnan characteristics. It was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage on May 20, 2006. List.

Guangxiu boutique and Lingnan painting integration

Recently, the reporter came to Guangzhou Embroidery Craft Factory Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the "Guangxiu Plant") in Haizhu District, Guangzhou. From the third to fifth floor of the main building, it shows the exhibition hall with unique Guangxiu works. Among them, the huge Guangxiu work "Summer Sea Wind" on the fourth floor is impressive. Zhang Jingwen, sales manager of Guangxiu Factory, introduced that this is a huge Guangxiu work by the Guangdong Provincial People's Government and the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress. It shows the turbulent, magnificent, and blue scene of the motherland's sea and territory. The original "Summer Sea Wind" is set up in the conference hall of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and it is displayed in the exhibition hall of Guangxiu Factory.

"Because of the experience of embroidery" Summer Sea Breeze ", later the Macau Special Administrative Region Government commissioned us to produce huge Guangxiu works in" Macau Morning Xi ". One of the anniversary activities, "Macau Morning" uses more than ten kinds of Guangxiu Needle and dozens of real silk color lines carefully embroidered, which fully shows the unique style of Macau cities. "Zhang Jingwen said.

These are the wonderful presentation of Guangxiu's works in recent years, and also shows the innovative development of Guangxiu's retaining characteristics. In recent years, in order to adapt to the continuous development of socio -economic culture and people's material and cultural needs, and further promoting Guangxiu Art and Lingnan culture, the Guangxiu Plant has also opened up the subject matter and content of Guangxiu Painting Draft, and tried to paint the paintings of the famous painters in Lingnan area. As an embroidery, it was made as an embroidery painting, and in 2011, it reached a preliminary cooperation with the Guangzhou Art Museum. It was authorized by the Guangzhou Art Museum. It was made of more than 20 paintings of paintings in the Tibetan Lingnan area as the painting. After 9 years, Lingnan Painting Guangxiu Boutique, which was produced by a number of Guangxiu representative inheritors, was exhibited in the exhibition of "Painting on the Tip of Kids -Guangxiu Exhibition" in 2020.

"Compared with the past, the people's awareness of Guangxiu is getting higher and higher. On the one hand, more new exhibitions show the style of Guangxiu; on the other hand, the popularization of Guangxiu's popularity is increasing. The school will organize the activities of non -heritage culture to enter the campus, so that more young people will understand Guangxiu. "Zhang Jingwen said.

There is still a challenge but a more bright future

After many years of floating, Guangxiu attaches more importance to inheritance. In 2011, the School of Fine Arts and Design of Guangzhou University opened Lingnan Arts and Crafts (Guangxiu direction). For many years, graduate students have been recruited. Students have created a lot of excellent works in their studies, and have won arts and crafts awards in Guangzhou or Guangdong.

During the "Summer Embroidery Master Workshop" event of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, students of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts were taught by Master Guangxiu Factory. Interviewee confessed.

In addition to the professional settings of colleges and universities, the inheritance of Guangxiu is also reflected in the new generation of apprentices. For example, the post -80s Liang Shuping has insisted on being engaged in Guangxiu for more than 10 years. From the beginning, she has now become a district -level representative inheritance of Guangxiu, a national non -heritage project. "I can persist because I love this work, and I feel that every work of embroidery is very fulfilling." But she also admits that not everyone can persist. Some apprentices in the same period have entered other industries. Find another way.

“广绣有一个特点，就是产量低、刺绣时间长，这和现代的快节奏是产生鲜明对比的。如今，很多年轻人都不是那么容易沉下心来持续从事一件事，因为要成为大师， It takes too long to make achievements. This is a relatively large challenge among Guangxiu inheritance. "Wu Jieyi said.

Zhang Jingwen also has a similar view to Wu Jieyi's. But he also believes that the development trend of Guangxiu is still good, and there is still a lot of room for progress. "Every industry has its challenge, but in general, Guangxiu is much better than before. From the past, everyone doesn't know much about this non -heritage, and now more and more people agree with its value. I believe that in the future The development of embroidery will be more bright. "Zhang Jingwen concluded.
