Embroidery(刺绣) is an important art form in Chinese culture.The most famous embroidery styles are Su embroidery from Suzhou,Shu embroidery from Sichuan,Xiang embroidery from Hunan and Yue embroidery from Guangdong.
Shu embroidery is the oldest of the four.It is known for its smooth needlework(针线活) and beautiful colors.In the Han Dynasty, people sold it to other countries through the South Silk Road.It used to be a fashion item(时尚单品) in ancient Rome, according to China Daily.
Embroidery takes time and patience.It might take as long as a whole day to finish just 10 cm of embroidery.Since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery products today, fewer people buy handmade Shu embroidery products.There are also very few young embroiderers, so the skill is in danger of dying out.
Meng Dezhi has been making Shu embroidery for 40 years.She used to work at Chengdu Shu Embroidery Factory.But in 2005, the factory went broke and Meng lost her job.
Wanting to save the art, Meng decided to rent(租) her own place and teach Shu embroidery to others.It is not an easy job.The work is hard and the pay is low.Not many people want to learn this skill.But Meng is trying to save it by teaching in different universities and communities.She believes that Shu embroidery stands for thousands of years of Sichuan culture and should be saved.
