Yao embroidery is the most colorful part of our Yao costumes. It is used as headwear, sleeves, plackets, and waist decorations.

In the past, in Hezhou, Guangxi, the wedding dresses of the Yao family were embroidered by themselves. Planting cotton, spinning lines, weaving, dyeing, tailoring, embroidery, and garment. This full set of craftsmanship is learned by making wedding places. Yaohua often says "girls can't embroidery and can't find the Lang family." It can be seen how important embroidery is in the life of Yaochen.

Hezhou Yao embroidered with red, green, yellow, white, and black silk thread as the material, and using black, blue, and white cloth. The landscape scenery of Yaoxiang, through the embroidery mother, turned into a pattern of patterns. Unlike other embroidery species, Yao embroidery is a needle in the center and embroidered from the inside; it is characterized by "reverse embroidery", and the lower needle from the opposite side of the fabric presents the pattern on the front of the embroidery. Discard the front.

The "Yao Xiu Kangyangbao" series of products designed and produced by Li Sufang won the Gold Award of Guangxi Arts and Crafts Works and Master Exhibition "Bagui Tiansong Award" (tourism crafts) gold award in 2020.

The embroidery mother embroidery, there is no ready -made pattern, if so, it is also engraved in the mind of the embroidery mother. For Yao cells with language and words, Yao embroidery, like Yao Ge, is a carrier that records historical and culture. Each pattern contains a moving story; each embroidery method has a mysterious legend.

Since I was a child, my mother was dazzling, and I was familiar with Yao Xiu's craftsmanship. Although Hezhou Yao embroidery has a history of more than 2,000 years, because most of the embroidery maiden is "closing the door embroidery", it is "raised in the deep girlfriend." In 2004, I went to work in Hangzhou and saw the prosperity of Su Xiu, which was very shocked, so I decided to return to my hometown to start a business. To let Yao embroidery, the non -heritage cultural tree, re -opened thousands of flowers.

Over the years, with the support of the government, I have continuously promoted new and developed a series of exquisite and practical products. In 2016, the two embroidery patterns of the "Yao Pan King Seal" and "Fish of Fish" were also used by the United Nations Development Plan for the cover decoration of business notebooks.
