Using needles as pens and threads as ink, one can depict the vividness and spirituality of all things.
There is a kind of beauty that is delicate and gentle, enduring through thousands of years;
There is a kind of craftsmanship that is exquisitely wonderful, passed down from generation to generation and becoming even more brilliant.
In the era of machine embroidery, there is a group of artisans still using the ancient and complex techniques to make embroidery move from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional form.
This is Chinese "three-dimensional embroidery".
Nowadays, the Chinese "three-dimensional embroidery" technique has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage in many places, shining with a unique brilliance.
Under the skilled hands of the artisans, the embroidery needles fly up and down, gradually making the flat fabric bulge into full-shaped patterns, as if real flowers blooming on the silk. Where does this timeless charm come from? The answer requires us to trace back to its origin.
Origin: From court indulgence to folk wisdom
The history of three-dimensional embroidery dates back to the Tang Dynasty. Initially, it was exclusive to the imperial court. Inspired by the works of later scholars, the exquisite craftsmanship of imperial court embroideries in the Song Dynasty had reached a perfect state. There were embroidered screens, on which the peonies were depicted as if they were alive, with butterflies fluttering among the flowers. Looking at them, one could almost feel as if they were about to fly. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the technique of three-dimensional embroidery was introduced to the common people. The greatest charm of the intangible cultural heritage "three-dimensional embroidery" lies in endowing the fabric with an unprecedented sense of life, making the patterns full and three-dimensional, lifelike, as if they would leap off the silk onto the fabric at any moment. It is like a heartfelt call, awakening the mountains and rivers that have been dormant in the threads; it is also like a tender magic, allowing the flat fabric to grow with reachable abundance. It is not an independent embroidery type, but rather includes numerous embroidery schools that can create a three-dimensional visual effect.
Different embroidery styles are like various veins of culture, emerging from different soils but all converging towards the same destination: making beauty accessible to everyone.
