Embroidery techniques of embroidery products include silk embroidery, flower picking and flower cutting. On the pillow top, vamp, insole, children's hat, small pocket and other clothing items, various patterns embroidered with five-color silk thread show exquisite shapes and colors, imagination and deformation, and are full of charm, which fully shows the skill of peasant women in tracing dragons and embroidering phoenixes. Traditional products include the pillow top of Yuanyang playing in water, hand-embroidered colorful purse, tiger-head-shaped children's hat, etc., especially the funny tiger-head shoes, which are unique. In the old days, parents always had to (or ask someone to) make a pair of shoes for their children on their first birthday or birthday, and a tiger head was embroidered on the toe, commonly known as "tiger head shoes". The tiger is the "king of beasts". There is a folk custom of wearing tiger's head shoes to be brave and ward off evil spirits, and there is also a saying of wishing the child a long life. Tiger-headed shoes are not only exquisite, but the tiger's head is also changeable: there are red silk embroidered dragon heads, green silk embroidered phoenix heads, black silk embroidered cat heads and lion heads. Beautiful and vivid shape, although exaggerated by deformation, but very realistic, colorful and not vulgar, embroidered pictures are delicate and have local flavor.
Insoles, cushions and other items are mostly embroidered with cotton thread, and the patterns are lotus, bergamot, chrysanthemum and peach blossom. This kind of insole is soft and comfortable to wear, but it doesn't run or roll. Rural girls learn to embroider insoles in their teens, and girls of seventeen or eighteen are all good at it, which is often used as a token of love. Before supporting the army, the girls embroidered a red heart and gave it to the soldiers at the front. Before getting married, a girl should embroider insoles for her future husband as a dowry to show the bride's ingenuity in needlework.
