Nanchang, Jiangxi, deep in a secluded alley. Inside a white-walled green tile, the sign of "Jiangxi Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage Rice Paper Embroidery Technique Transmission Institute" is conspicuously eye-catching into people's eyes. Enter the training center, watch the ink freehand landscape paintings and calligraphy hanging in the exhibition hall, the long scrolls of ancient folk customs and customs, and the colorful and cute zodiac signs, as if you have entered the hall of art with hanmo fragrance. However, these calligraphy and painting works have nothing to do with "ink", they are embroidered on rice paper with silk threads of different colors, one stitch and one thread.
Different from ordinary embroidery, rice paper embroidery techniques are difficult and require more craftsmanship. When embroidering on rice paper, each pinhole can not exceed two stitches at most, otherwise the rice paper will be easy to crack, if the embroidery is broken, you can only start from scratch. As the ninth generation of rice paper embroidery, Gu Yuchun was pricked by needles many times when he first learned, and he also used a lot of discarded rice paper, and he thought of giving up, but after breaking through the bottleneck, he slowly walked into the art of rice paper embroidery. In order to let more people learn rice paper embroidery, he also compiled several textbooks to record this skill through writing. Now he not only has more than 20 young apprentices, but also cooperates with domestic universities to let college students who have more knowledge of art and aesthetics learn rice paper embroidery, so that more people can understand the cultural charm of rice paper embroidery.
