Basic Introduction Chinese Name: Song Embroidery Year: Northern Song Dynasty Sales Place: United States, Japan, Italy, France, Hong Kong Idiom: Splendid and Fragrant Nature: Traditional embroidery industry inherits history, splendid and fragrant, looking forward to Song Embroidery. During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a "Wenxiu Academy" in the palace, where more than 300 embroidered mothers gathered to embroider costumes and paintings for emperors, princesses and dignitaries. Therefore, At that time, the robes of emperors, officials, their working hats and boots were all beautifully embroidered in the Song Dynasty. According to the Ming Dynasty Dragon Slayer's Painting Notes, "Elegant books, landscape figures, flowers and birds on the balcony in the Song Dynasty, fine needle and thread, no exposed seams, one or two threads of velvet, fine needles like hair, so eyebrows must be made, the velvet color is dazzling, but full of spirit and grace, colorful, better books, skillful needle and thread, and the spring breeze of ten fingers cannot be returned." Shangqiu, named after its region, is the ancient capital of China in the Six Dynasties. Song State, Song Cheng and Song State in ancient times were the birthplaces of the Song Dynasty. This alias is Song Cheng, Songzhou. Therefore, the local hand embroidery in Shangqiu is called "Song embroidery". Embroidery in Song Dynasty has a long history. As early as before the summer in Shang Tang, sericulture, silk reeling and embroidery had been developed in this land. According to Guanzi Guang Jia, when Shang Tang was in China, Xia Jie was extravagant and dissipated, and Zhong Liang was destroyed. There are 30,000 female musicians alone, "all of them refuse to accept Wen Xiu's clothes". In order to weaken Xia's strength, Shang Tang adopted the strategy of Minister Yi Yin, and ordered the women of this tribe to make "Wen embroidery" day and night in exchange for the food of Xia people. Through the development of commercial trade, the grain of the Shang nationality is increasing day by day, and the national strength is becoming stronger and stronger. Finally, the summer was destroyed in one fell swoop and the Shang Dynasty was established. Song embroidery originated at this time. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Song embroidery was once popular in the capital of song dynasty, and it was as famous as Bian embroidery and sold well all over the country. Modern embroidery products have meticulous weavers, exquisite techniques, beautiful patterns, elegant colors and soft touch. Shangqiu embroidery is divided into embroidery and machine embroidery, and its varieties are divided into embroidery, color embroidery, music embroidery and carving Ping Xiu. The main products are raw silk tablecloth, hanging bottle embroidery, hammer lace, guide lace, silk quilt cover, rich silk tablecloth, worship hat, crochet clothes, curtains, disk mats, bedspreads and other 1600 kinds of decorations. The linen tablecloth with silver edge produced by Shangqiu Arts and Crafts Factory won the Henan Province 1985 Quality Product Award. The crocheted tablecloth waistcoat flared skirt produced by Shangqiu Embroidery Technology General Factory won the 1984 Henan Light Industry Product Excellence Award. Shangqiu embroidery products have become an important export commodity in Henan Province. It is famous for its exquisite embroidery, fine stitches, rigorous patterns, elegant style and gorgeous colors, and was well-known in the Central Plains as early as the Song Dynasty. According to records, during the Northern Song Dynasty (960- 1 127), there was a "Wenxiu Academy" in the palace, where more than 300 embroidered mothers embroidered costumes and paintings for emperors, princesses and dignitaries, so Song embroidery was also called "Gong Yan embroidery" or "Palace embroidery". At that time, the emperor's robes, court costumes, working hats and boots of court officials were all fine works of Song embroidery. According to the painting note of the Ming Dynasty Dragon Slayer: "Song Dynasty elegant books, landscape figures, flowers and birds on the balcony, the needles are red and thin, and the seams are not exposed. They use one or two threads of velvet, and the needles are as thin as hair, so the eyebrows must be beautiful and the velvet color is eye-catching, but they are rich and graceful, colorful, the books are better, the needle and thread are clever, and the spring breeze of the fingers cannot be returned. " According to "Flowers in the Oriental Dream", folk embroidery is extremely prosperous, with "embroidered curtains and brocade flowers" everywhere, and the embroidery technology in the Song Dynasty reached its peak. Song embroidery has exquisite stitches, rigorous patterns, elegant style and gorgeous colors. At that time, the official clothes of the emperor, officials, hats and boots were all fine works of Song embroidery. According to the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368- 1644), the painting notes of the Dragon Slayer recorded that "Song aristocratic books, landscape figures, balcony flowers and birds, in modern times, Song embroidery is still famous. In the middle and late 1950s, machine embroidery and hand embroidery of the Song Dynasty were exported to Tianjin Port, and the Song Dynasty embroidery factory was built in Chengguan Town in 1982, and the embroidery technology of the Song Dynasty was rapidly restored and developed. Song embroidery invented different stitches according to the characteristics of different images and patterns, such as needle embroidery, which was used to embroider water patterns, moire patterns and wicker; Loose embroidery, also known as mixed stitches, has uneven stitches, natural color transition, softness and realism, and is suitable for embroidering birds and animals. Embroidery should embroider freehand brushwork flowers. The source of Song embroidery with splendid fragrance: looking for the figure of Song embroidery with splendid fragrance. The written record of Song embroidery is "Xiangyi", which is another name of Sui County in Shangqiu City today. It is the place name of the Eastern Han Dynasty and belonged to Chenliu County in Yanzhou in ancient times. Xiangyi is located in the Yellow River valley, with a warm and humid climate, which is very beneficial to the growth of mulberry trees and provides extremely suitable natural conditions for the extreme prosperity of Xiangyi silk weaving industry. The word "Jin" in Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi is Xiang Yewen. It can be seen that the brocade and fragrant clothes in Han Dynasty are rich. According to legend, Emperor Hanming of the East paid tribute to the emperor by leading his ministers to worship heaven and earth in Xiangyi, Chenliu County, wearing colorful clothes. Sericulture in China existed as early as 6000 years ago. 4,000 years ago, we could not only raise silkworms, but also reel silk and weave the most primitive silk. By the Shang Dynasty, silk, as a handicraft industry, was quite developed, not only in weaving technology, but also in various varieties, and silk products were also highly developed at this time. The beautiful brocade produced by Xiangyi (now Suixian County, Shangqiu City) was very famous in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and made great achievements in technology. Shangqiu, as the source of three merchants, merchants' trade will not only be agricultural and sideline products, but also brocade and cloth, and even spread sericulture, silk reeling and brocade technology together. As the capital of Song State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Song State is the hometown of many sages such as Zhuangzi, Mozi and Keiko, and the ancestral home of Confucius. The richness of Shang culture and Song Wenhua, and the profoundness of Shang and Song civilizations spread from Shangqiu to all directions. What can present this achievement is a map of Xuan Ji, in which 84 1 words are woven on an 8-inch square brocade, and palindromes are woven with the words. No matter reading backwards, sideways, sideways, interactively, backwards or overlapping, you can write poems. It can be read as 1000 poems with three words, four words, five words, six words and seven words, which is really wonderful. According to the Book of Jin, Su Hui, a woman from the former Qin Dynasty in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who created this picture of Xuan Ji, is now from Xingping, Shaanxi. Her father Su Dao is from Chen Liuling, and she lives in Chen Liuliang with her father. It can be inferred from this that he must have learned the skills of brocade in the hometown of brocade, and it is not surprising that he embroidered an amazing map of Xuan Ji. Zuo Si, a poet in the Western Jin Dynasty, mentioned in Du Wei Fu that the famous northern products are "Jinxiu Xiangyi, Rocky Chao Ge, Mianqifu and Zongqinghe". Such a splendid and influential city is likely to catch up with the "Silk Road" and export overseas. Can it be inferred that there is a shadow that can be vividly portrayed at any time in the brilliant March of "Jinxiu Xiangyi", that is, Song embroidery. The prospect of Song embroidery is bright, especially Song embroidery. The unique symbols of Shangqiu are Song embroidery products, mainly including Peach Blossom Fan, Shangzi, Wang Hai statue and so on. Needless to say, the influence of peach blossom fan is right here. Shangqiu also has another national treasure painting and calligraphy-Five Old Paintings, which has a high national and international influence, as well as artistic and historical value. The five old pictures, also known as the five old pictures of Suiyang, are collected by many museums in the United States, and the Shanghai Museum has replicas. "Five Old Paintings" are highly respected, have both ability and political integrity, prolong life, and are highly respected by people. It was created for Suiyang painters (Song people) at that time. At the time of painting, five old people were still alive and expressed their feelings about the poems on the picture. The original painting is a silk book with colors and hand scrolls. Each of the original five portraits has a seven-meter poem, as well as poems by Ouyang Xiu, Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Shao Yong, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Su Zhe and other 18 people, as well as 56 views and inscriptions. " "Five Old Pictures" is a famous monument in the history of China. It has been nearly 1 0,000 years since the Northern Song Dynasty. Although its circulation has been full of twists and turns, celebrities continue to preface, write poems, copy and mount it. It's a brief history of China's famous paintings. Nowadays, things developed from painting, brick carving, woodcut, embroidery, ceramics and other aspects through the five old pictures have become cultural relics. Except for five old paintings, Liang Xiaowang's 300 Li Liangyuan is comparable to Kaifeng's Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. The 300-mile Liang Garden is not only the dream of literati all over the world, but also a scenic spot that travelers eagerly yearn for. It will be very valuable and popular to develop "five old paintings" and "three hundred yuan" into tourist gifts in the form of Song embroidery. Song embroidery products with Shangqiu culture as their selling point include: Peach Blossom Fan, Six Scenes, Shang Sculpture, etc.
