Embroidery exhibition is a stitch in time
The exhibition.
An intangible cultural heritage exhibition featuring exquisite and beautiful Miao embroidery works opened at NEW BUND 31 in the Pudong New Area on Saturday.
It heralds the operation of the new cultural and commercial landmark along the Huangpu River.
The Miao ethnic group is known for their signature embroidery craft, and they produce some of the most intricate and beautiful embroidery in the world.
Miao embroidery featuring intricate patterns and vibrant colors that is passed down from generation to generation is a unique and invaluable part of China's intangible cultural heritage.
The exhibition is divided into three parts, with the highlight 12 dresses, one dating back more than 300 years ago. The embroidery primarily serves the purpose of adorning ceremonial dress of Miao females.
Thirty-seven embroidery parts string the whole life of Miao's women, while with timeless beauty reflect the unique cultural allure and history of Miao ethnic group.
Each piece bears silent witness to legend and history of the Miao ethnic minority and every stitch reflects a part of local life.
Intricate works.
