“Dong” is one of China's 55 ethnic minorities(少数民族), with a population of less than three million, mainly living in South China. The ethnic group is well known for its traditional embroidery(刺绣), which has long been passed down from generation to generation(世代相传).
Qin Naishiqing is a master of Dong embroidery in Sanjiang Dong Autonomous Country in the southern part of Guangxi. At the age of 91, she is still good at cutting paper patterns, which she says is the spirit of the handmade art.
“You should be very skillful in embroidery to become good at paper cutting. When you get a piece of paper, you should form a picture of the patterns in your mind without actually drawing them, ” Qin said.
Teaching embroidery is a family tradition, and Qin's two daughters in law usually join her in teaching youngsters(年轻人). Phoenixes(长生鸟), dragons and flowers are common patterns featured in folk art, which are reproduced on embroidered products.
Spider flowers, seen as a symbol of good wishes, are very important in Dong people's embroidery patterns.
Every Dong girl is encouraged to learn the skill at an early age, around 9 or 10 years old. When she gets married, she will traditionally receive a whole set of clothes, including a wedding dress, made by her mother.
There are now thousands of women in the country taking up embroidery—an art form that has remained unchanged over the years. Qin hopes she can help make sure the tradition continues for future generations.
