The colorful silk threads, the dexterous fingertips, the embroidered needles dancing up and down, the beautiful "dreams" of one by one. This is the poetic presentation of film and television works for embroidered maiden, and it is also the impression of many people's embroidery -this ancient skill. Xing Lanfang of Shijiazhuang was clever since she was a child. Her original "Xing's Embroidery" was included in the seventh batch of intangible cultural heritage list in Shijiazhuang City in 2018, and was selected into the intangible cultural heritage project of Hebei Province in 2020. On June 16, the reporter walked into her "Lanfang Embroidery Village" and heard her telling her "splendid life": "The embroidery changed my life, and let me grow from a laid -off female worker to a province to a province Level non -genetic inheritance. I always believe that I am doing my best!

Embroidery rewritten life

On June 16th, in front of the embroidery frame of "Lanfang Embroidery Village", a pair of clever hands were flying on the embroidery cloth, and the context of the thick trunk on both sides of the Golden Avenue also slowly presented ... The owner is Xing Lanfang, the inheritor of the provincial non -heritage "Xing's embroidery". Beside her, exquisitely embroidered, glory and very dazzling under the mapping of the light. Thinking about that year, she was so emotional: "When I first laid off, I wouldn't think of such achievements."

Xing Lanfang had a pair of clever hands since she was a child. When she was 9 years old, she followed her to learn embroidery in Baoding Qingyuan. At the age of 16, she officially studied embroidery. The pillows, curtains, beds, etc. at home were embroidered. The eldest daughter -in -law of the neighbor's house often asked her to help embroidery dowry. After growing up, Xing Lanfang has worked in a cotton spinning factory for 23 years. In 2004, the cotton spinning factories were laid -off, and Xing Lanfang laid off from the unit in advance. Suddenly there was no focus of life. The lover was worried that she was uncomfortable, so Zhang Luo reported to her embroidery class.

"At that time, there were just two university students in Weihai to start a business in Shijiazhuang to do Su Xiu. I was clever and thought about learning a technology, and I could make money to earn money in the future." Ten months later, when Xing Lanfang's skills were skilled, two were two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two. A college student suddenly gave up his business and returned to his hometown. "I was 44 years old that year, and my life suddenly lost my direction. I didn't think about starting a business, so I felt that I couldn't be abandoned halfway, so I went to Suzhou to learn art."

The art of embroidery in Suzhou is mostly family craftsmanship, which inherited from generation to generation and rarely passed on. Xing Lanfang wants to worship, it is not easy. She just arrived in Suzhou, and she was unfamiliar with her life. "One morning, I walked to the street with the most embroidery villages. I was particularly frustrated when I was sitting at the gate of the park." Fortunately, an old man with a morning exercise watched her holding a big bag and pointed at her. "His nephew daughter -in -law is my first teacher Su Xiu teacher Gao Wenjuan."

With the guidance of the professional Su Xiu teacher, since 2005, Xing Lanfang ran to Suzhou twice or three times a year. She said that the technology of Su Xiu is developing every year, and the embroidered things are becoming more and more exquisite. If they do not learn, the technology will be behind. Therefore, her teacher also changed from one to three. "The three teachers have their own strengths. One is good at Buddha statues, one is good at flowers, and one is good at landscapes. I can learn more skills with the teachers." Xing Lanfang, who is middle -aged, never gives up learning.

Create "Xing's Embroidery"

At that time, while studying embroidery, she started their own business and opened the "Lanfang Embroidery Village" with her lover.

In the early days of entrepreneurship, it was very difficult. Xiuzhuang had almost no income in the past three years, and Xing Lanfang's creation was once in a bottleneck. "It was really difficult at that time, and I cried secretly, and I felt that I couldn't keep up, but I couldn't let go of the love of embroidery." Xing Lanfang said that she liked the astronaut Wang Yaping's words: "Because of love, I insist on insisting . Because of love, she is persistent. Because of love, I have the courage to overcome difficulties and go now. "This is also the true portrayal of her embroidery life.

At that time, in order to be recognized by the market, in order to embroider the superb skills of her skills, she sank to continue her creation. During the talk, she pulled out a silk thread at hand, rubbed it briefly, and appeared as thin as hair. "In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be a thread. But for us, there is 16 wires in one line, and there is 16 wires. 1 silk can be divided into 12 cents, embroidered to the character's eyebrows, eyelashes, etc., you need to use semi -grim to two hair, which is thinner than the hair wire.

She told reporters that there are thousands of needles on the online embroidery, which is actually a bit exaggerated. To be precise, there are more than a dozen types of needle methods, such as small inverted needles, embroidery veins, flowing water, and clouds; there are oblique needles, uniform needles, pins, rolling needles, etc. If you use it well, it can be lively. If you do n’t use it well, it is difficult to become a good product. In the concentrated study, Xing Lanfang believes that the most particular about embroidery is the two words: attentive. In order to embroidery good works and deep work. Like the most difficult character embroidery in embroidery, the essence of the wonderful Xiao is all in the character's expression, regardless of the split line or color matching, it is very patient and skillful.

After years of refined hard work, Xing Lanfang's embroidery skills have made a breakthrough. She has participated in the provincial and municipal craft work competitions and achieved good results. Hebei Gold Medal "" Master of Hebei Folk Arts and Crafts "," Hebei Province "," Hebei Provincial Craftsman "and so on.

However, she never keeps rules. In recent years, on the basis of retaining the traditional Chinese embroidery technology, Xing Lanfang integrates Chinese ink painting, photography and other arts and modern elements into it to form a unique embroidery style. "Su Xiu pays attention to the fine stitching and elegant colors, and my original" Xing's embroidery "is integrated into the northern embroidery method, with roughness and more attention." In 2018, Xing Lanfang became an embroidered city -level intangible cultural inheritor in 2018. Essence In 2020, the "Xing's Embroidery" was selected into the Hebei Province's Intangible Cultural Heritage Project.

Inherit traditional skills

In the past 17 years, there are countless embroidery products created by Xing Lanfang, but three of the most proud of her are the three -year -old boutique. The "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", which lasted 2 years, 10 meters long and 50 cm wide; and "Map of Silk Road Landscape", which lasted 3 years, 30 meters long and 50 cm wide, of which "Map of Silk Road" She was regarded as "Treasure of the Town Store".

On the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2018, a silk "Map of Silk Road" painted in the middle and late Ming Dynasty had a sensation. "At that time, after seeing the original appearance of the picture, it was deeply attracted by it." Xing Lanfang, who was shocked by the "national treasure", was born with an embroidery method to interpret the national treasure -level picture. Because the silk thread has the characteristics of non -fading and non -rotten, embroidery it can always be youth. As a result, Xing Lanfang lasted for nearly three years, and this work was embroidered one by one.

Green mountains, green water, mountains and rivers, magnificent, 211 geographical coordinates, many important cities on many ancient silk roads ... When the embroidery "Map of Silk Road" slowly unfolded, this silk used to use a variety of embroidery as a line and used a variety of embroidery. The magnificent scenes depicted by embroidery created by making techniques are amazing. With non -genetic inheritance history, spreading culture, recording and telling Chinese stories, Xing Lanfang felt both pleased and proud.

It is worth mentioning that in recent years, under the call of the "laid -off employees" of the Women's Federation of Shijiazhuang City and Yuhua District, Xing Lanfang also founded the "Ji Lan embroidery" creation training base, integrating training, sales, and far -sized embroidery products. Sold the United States, Japan and other places.

"Creative training base, on the one hand, to increase employment skills for laid -off personnel, on the other hand, it is also inheriting embroidery skills." Xing Lanfang said that in the training, she adopted a batch component method to disassemble the needle teaching by embroidery works. Among her, she will teach according to their aptitude. This is not only solid in the needle, but also helps to shorten the construction period and allow students to employment as soon as possible. For some disabled people, after receiving the order, Xing Lanfang will also transfer orders according to the specialty of the students to help them increase their income and improve their lives.

According to incomplete statistics, in the past five or six years, she has trained more than 5,000 students. "I hope that through my own efforts, more people like to embroidery, willing to learn embroidery, and let China's embroidery be inherited and developed." Xing Lanfang also brought Chinese embroidery overseas and carried forward abroad.
