Xiang “trick” must be the disparate double-sided embroidery in the second half of the 20th century, the design and the change of stitch both combined perfectly, make the xiang embroidery art improve to a higher level, xiang embroidery workers change over the past more than traditional products for single-sided embroidery technology, focus on development of double-sided embroidery art, at the same time created a more difficult “disparate double-sided embroidery, xiang embroidery art to a new level.The pros and cons of it on a transparent base, needlework from two different theme, design, color, stitch the object.A “lion tiger”, for example, a screen embroidery, one side is a face upwards long uphill tiger, and the other side is a low hand walking down the mountain lion, one on the front steller’s turn to the opposite turned out to be a lion tail, two sides of the image is very different, stunning.Such as double disparate embroidered “flowermulan”Embroidered screen, based on” the mulan phrase “in the sentence. One side is embroidered” wanli to RongJi…Cold light iron clothes, “side of the embroidery is” mane when window manage cloud, to lens applique yellow.”Is not only well reflect mulan disguised as men, was splendid hero image, and reflects the” cell “in wartime off girl dressed in daughter’s school, and make a contrast of the image more vivid. A uniform, one side red, the conceived ingeniously and embroidery art is exquisite, wonderful artical excelling nature of. Fooling so disparate double-sided embroidery make xiang embroidery reached the extremely high artistic level, this also is the weaving formation in the embroideryOf its ownOf the genre.

Awards: hunan embroidery has participated inJapan, panama,The United StatesIn places such as the international fair, many times won the award for best wins, enjoying high reputation in the international market.Xiang embroidery is on the basis of inheritance of traditional embroidery techniques and some breakthrough, successively embroiders stab a group of disparate double-sided embroidery works.Especially in buxuriant trees know, reversible disparate embroidered figure paintings, the appraisal of experts, is a “super embroidery”.Association of science and technology of China chose the embroidery as “Chinese ancient traditional technology exhibition” exhibits.Continuous efforts of the xiang embroidery community, xiang embroidery from practical art to the adornment of the quality of life and art collection, on behalf of one party technology and culture of etiquette.The grand double-sided embroidery a screen, the return of Hong KongBirds pay homage to the kingSpring scenery in dongting “was established in Hong Kong’s return and the SAR government received acclaim from domestic and foreign guests of the ceremony and high praise.

Xiang embroidery has a history of more than 2500 years.In the early western han dynasty, hunan embroidery technology have highly developed areas, can be in after the han dynasty, but inexplicably disappeared, until guangxu period, qing dynasty at pingkiang embroider female Li Yi badge first doped stitch, makes the weaving.1898, changsha “Wu Caixia yuyuan open, marked the xiang embroidery formal road toward commercialization.Hunan institute of xiang embroidery is researched meticulously “lion”, “water tiger” hunan embroidery products has become the Chinese arts and crafts such as national treasures, and won the China arts and crafts hundred flowers awards center;Development of double-sided embroidery “Yang”, “full moon” by the national related department collection;Large xiang embroidery double-sided, Hong Kong’s return to a screen gift “dongting spring scenery in the wind, birds,” at Hong Kong’s return to get the high praise of Chinese and foreign guests and his mouth.On the eve of National Day anniversary of 52, hunan changsha kaifu district shaping flat in the town of xiang embroidery factory, according to Mr Dong Xiwen paintings of the same name by eight embroidered women lasted 14 months elaborate needlework “founding ceremony”, embroidered film is 201 cm, 124 cm wide, picture depicts the October 1, 1949 the central people’s government of the People’s Republic of China was founded when the founding ceremony held in tiananmen square.

In the absolute reality of the market economy, however, xiang embroidery honor but cannot hide behind a embarrassing situation – on the international market, high-grade adornment craftsmanship is accounted for 80%, only 5% of xiang embroidery;Accounts for only 30% in domestic, xiang embroidery, suzhou embroidery and accounts for 60% of the market.Some weaving manufacturers have closed down, xiang embroidery export trapped, current market is.Changsha customs data showed, xiang embroidery has disappeared from the hunan export commodities.In response, many industry insiders believe that the weaving quickly walked to the end of the road.Xiang embroidery was born “rust”!

Sue was always very busy.The painter to identity into the xiang embroidery industry of changsha “embroidered garden” park owner, non-stop busy do two things, one is with the stars sha xiang, head of the city “negotiations”, in the “city” built a exhibition hall, displaying its production embroidery;2 it is preparation for a large-scale, high standards of xiang embroidery exhibition.

“I in the xiang embroidery was a alone!”Sue for this evaluation.Indeed, since the date of his into the xiang embroidery industry, “restless” nature made him increasingly of xiang embroidery is the reform attempt to change the weaving “is given priority to with thorns, painting as the auxiliary pole” of “embroidery painting” tradition as “commander in chief to embroider with scheduling stitch in painting, painting”;Become too pay attention to the embroidery stitch art tradition to stitch “set free…In “conservative” view, however, attempt to Sue a is the xiang embroidery art of “subversion”, no longer called “xiang”.Hidebound “xiang if you continue, maybe never nirvana. No matter which kind of way you choose, our responsibility is to xiang to do bigger and stronger.”Sue received words long.

Like Sue won, now in many bones of xiang embroidery maker, carries the weaving Renaissance dream and belief.

And other traditional crafts, in the late 1980 s and early ’90 s, in the face of increasingly developed modern civilization, the weaving of the crisis, the ending, however.

Was born in folk of xiang, has been “combined with daily necessities, pay attention to practical” tradition, and so early of xiang embroidery is the main customer groups are civilians.Later, with the development of the weaving technique, slowly from daily necessities to arts and crafts, to greatly improve its grade, class.

By the late 1980 s to the early 90 s, with the emergence of xiang embroidery machine printing works, xiang embroidery on commodities inevitably lost vast market.In arts and crafts market, after the reform and opening up some of the birth of individual, privately owned enterprises, in order to their own short-term interests, the xiang embroidery works on the market, manufactured cheaply impact fine weaving, the weaving in the arts and crafts market reputation of the big hit.Xiang embroidery is a period
